MIKOMOTO MARINE SERVICE

Nakagi is located in the southernmost in the Izu Peninsula. This area benefits from Black Stream and shows various scenes underwater as the seasons change. The scenery created by nature over the centuries will attract divers both of land and underwater.

The point, situated on the north side of Mikomoto Island, experiences the influence of both low and high tides. Notably, the three roots exhibit symmetry, with the west side being flat and gradually deep, while the east side features clustered roots.

Situated offshore Enokuchi and Mitsu-ne on Kamikomoto Island, this site is highly affected by tides. The depth of the reef ranges from 22 to 25 meters, peaking at 19 meters towards the end before descending sharply to 45 meters. Due to significant tidal influence, it’s considered a challenging dive, particularly for beginners.

This is the “standard“ dive site on Mikomoto Island. There is a large root called “Kadone“ in the west direction, and the basic diving style is to wait for the root and then surface on the spot. Average depth: around 20m

Jabu-ne, on Kamikomoto-jima Island in Shimoda, Shizuoka, is an advanced site with strong currents and dynamic terrain. Famous for summer–fall hammerhead sightings, it’s one of Japan’s top shark spots. Migratory and resident fish form large schools, delivering a thrilling, high-energy dive experience.

There are a number of diving spots around Kamikimoto Island, an uninhabited island off the coast of Shimoda. It is a 20-minute boat ride from the harbor to the dive site. It is a popular spot for hammerhead sharks to appear from summer to autumn when the Kuroshio Current approaches the Izu Peninsula.
