Osezaki,
Western Izu, Japan
This little bay on the
northwest tip of the Izu Peninsula is probably the most popular dive resort on
the entire island of Honshu. Several dive shops and inns line the
wide sandy beach facing north with a great view of Mt. Fuji. The western
point is a narrow finger of boulders with access to deep water. Osezaki
has more rare and unusual critters than anywhere else. The calm waters of
the bay are ideal for certification dives but we love it for muck diving.
The tip of the point features large soft corals and sea whips surrounded by
Sakura anthias and Joyner's rockfish. |
