Ebisu Hama

Located along Route 42 in Japan, the beach point offers a delightful diving experience. As you approach the point, be cautious of the slope to avoid any mishaps, especially if you're carrying equipment on your back. Keep a vigilant eye on the tides, preferring high tide for diving as low tide can reveal numerous large rocks and stones at the entry point.

This beach serves as an ideal spot for both open water courses and specialty dives, with its resilience against wind and minimal challenges. The opportunity for night diving adds to its appeal, and be sure not to miss the mesmerizing coral spawning during the summer season.
