Tairajima

Tairajima is a coastal dive site near Minamiizu and Matsuzaki along the Izu Peninsula. Located in shallow open waters, it features sloping reefs and rocky outcrops typical of the region. Access is straightforward from local towns, with calm conditions common in sheltered bays. The area hosts a range of sub-tidal life common to temperate Japan, including small reef fish, wrasses and occasional moray eels, with visibility varying seasonally. Depths are generally modest, making it suitable for recreational diving and drift conditions depending on currents. This site is best explored with local dive centers familiar with local tides and rock formations. Nearby towns provide services and easy logistics for a day trip or short stay.
