Katsuura

Katsuura is a coastal city in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, located on the Pacific coast. It is not a major diving hub, and diving activity in the city itself is limited. Nearby access to the sea provides basic coastal exploration, and a nearby freshwater option exists at Lake Hinuma for divers seeking training or non-technical dives. With only a couple of local dive resources in the wider region, most divers visit for the quiet coastal ambiance, local seafood, and as a gateway to surrounding dive sites along the Chiba coast. If you’re after reef or wall diving, plan trips to more established spots along the Pacific coast and consider local centers for courses and equipment.
