Diving to experience on the remote island "Hatsushima" off Atami! 3 recommended plans
A typhoon struck the Japanese archipelago earlier this month, but it has finally passed. Due to the effects of the typhoon, even in September this year, the hot days have been relatively mushy. When the temperature reminds us of summer again, some readers may be wondering if we can still do water activities.
ACTIVITY JAPAN introduces many water activities regardless of sea or river, and there are still many plans during the period. Among them, the most popular events are "river descent", "line descent", and "scuba".

] Has a charm suitable for calling it a standard marine sport. For this reason, it continues to attract widespread attention from teenagers to adults and families of all ages. By the way, nowadays, even beginners can feel free to experience it, so it seems that the number of experienced people is increasing year by year.
But from now on scuba

Let's introduce "Hatsushima" which is perfect for enjoying the tour.
What is Hatsushima, a resort island off the coast of the Izu Peninsula?
Hatsushima, which floats on the sea of Sagami Bay in the eastern part of the Izu Peninsula, is the only manned island in Shizuoka Prefecture. It is a resort island that can be reached in about 2 hours from Tokyo, and is known as the closest remote island to the Tokyo metropolitan area. It's very close to the city center, but it's a wonderful island where you can forget about the hustle and bustle of the city and get healing. Due to the ocean currents coming from the south, the climate is warm all year round, so there are many attractions such as subtropical plants, activities where you can feel nature, and fresh seafood.
The athletic park, which makes the most of the unexplored land, is recommended for families with small children. In addition, walking around flowers and historic sites while feeling the refreshing sea breeze will refresh your mind and body. One of the most popular activities is to enjoy the clear and rich sea.

.. The experience of encountering the sea and the underwater creatures that live there, whose facial expressions change day by day, makes me impressed only after diving.

The wonderful healing effect you get with will be a life-changing experience. In this way, "Hatsushima" is a popular resort area where you can enjoy various leisure activities.
Good access from Tokyo is also a popular secret. It takes about an hour and a half to reach Atami by using the Shinkansen, and about two hours by using a conventional line. From Atami Station, take a bus to Atami Port for about 10 minutes, then board a boat and arrive at Hatsushima in about 30 minutes. It makes me feel like I've visited a tropical country very easily. It is also popular among divers as a spot that can be used for day trips, and as of 2019, there are 9 stores.

Since its opening in 1998, it has been diving as the main spot. About 25 minutes by regular boat from Atami Port to Hatsushima ... It is the only small manned remote island off the coast of Atami in Sagami Bay and Izu that arrives in no time. Of course I am looking forward to the sea, but I also recommend the atmosphere of Hatsushima and the fresh seafood after diving.

Dive into the "Futatsu root" that we recommend as a point. From a short distance from the shop, go down to the beach, climb over a large rock and enter. There is a slope in front of you, which makes entry exit convenient. Many jawfish are seen in the sea, and in the summer you may come across spawning of bigfin reef squid. From autumn to winter, the transparency of the sea rises dramatically, and migratory fish such as yellowtail, amberjack, striped jack, and yellowtail also gather. There aren't many divers, so the colorful soft corals are very beautiful ♪
Please be sure to confirm the rental of equipment, wet suits, or dry suits when making a reservation.

I recommend the course. Of course, even beginners who have just obtained a license or those who have a blank that will be a dive for the first time in a long time can rest assured. The owner, who has the skills to serve as an undersea archaeological site survey team in Atami, will give you solid and polite guidance. The sea of Hatsushima is rich in fish schools and has an attractive depth of fish shadows. If you haven't dived yet, there is no doubt that you will be addicted to it ♪ Hatsushima
