Futo
This popular site is our recommendation for the best diving on the Izu Peninsula. There are two dive spots in Futo, which are both located in a large cove. From the shore point, even beginners can enjoy diving here.
You can see a wide range of tropic fish in these waters, which migrate to the cover every year. From June to August you have the chance to witness the squid eggs spawning.

Izu Oceanic Park
This popular site is our recommendation for the best diving on the Izu Peninsula. The underwater geographical features here were created when Mount Oomuroyama erupted, and lava flowed into the sea. The water here is absolutely teeming with sea life. Warm water is brought in by a warm current named 'Kuroshio', which flows up from the Pacific Ocean, past the Philippines. In the summer time the temperature reaches 25°C/77°F! The lowest temperature is 14°C/55°F, so you can enjoy diving all year. Every year the dive center here displays a huge Christmas tree underwater.

Yawatano
Yawatano is another dive site located in East Izu, not far from Izukougen Station. This coast is facing the north-east, so if conditions are choppy in the west near Futo Ocean Park, you can still find calm waters here. Many fish live in the shallow waters of this embankment, including plenty of horse mackerel. You don't have to travel far from the entry point before you start to see the underwater wildlife, so this is a great spot for beginners. The wide, sandy landscape makes this the perfect spot if you're interested in getting up close to the fish and taking lots of photos. If you travel further in there's the chance for deep diving, but many species such as Japanese sawtails, cherry anthias, and pearl-spot damselfish live in the shallower waters. Not only that, but frogfishes and scorpion fishes can be found hiding amongst the rocks. we recommended best way for season at autumn worm up to water tempter as well.
