Nakagi

Nakagi, located in the southernmost part of the Izu Peninsula in Japan, is a captivating dive site that offers an ever-changing underwater landscape thanks to the presence of the Black Stream. With its picturesque scenery shaped by centuries of natural beauty, Nakagi entices both land and underwater divers.

During the early summer, divers can encounter magnificent eagle rays, while sea turtles can be spotted year-round. On occasion, a group of hammerhead sharks might surprise you. In the winter months, lucky divers may witness the majestic humpback whales passing by in the offshore waters.

The idyllic port and resort-like underwater environment of Nakagi are truly spectacular. The primary dive points, namely "Toshima" and "Hayama," offer a fantastic diving experience. Here are some tips to enhance your dive: there is a submersible buoy at a depth of 5-10 meters, so make use of it. Enter the water with a back roll entry from the aft-deck and stern. Exiting the water is convenient as you can easily be lifted onto the boat. Dive boats will be present and follow your progress throughout your dive. We recommend planning a dive for 35-40 minutes. It takes around 5 to 10 minutes to reach the entry point, and the dive boats are shared.

Nakagi boasts excellent visibility of 13 meters and a maximum depth of 24 meters, making it suitable for divers of all levels, from beginners to advanced and expert divers. Plan your visit to Nakagi in Minamiizu, Kamo County, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, and explore the wonders that lie beneath its pristine waters.
