Izu Ocean Park 1.5 Ban no Ne (1.5番の根) is a shore-entry site at Izu Ocean Park, Yawatano, Ito, on the east coast of the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka, with a maximum depth of 35 m, suitable from beginner level. It is the gentle, indistinct reef between Ichi no Ne and Ni no Ne, about 12 m deep in the shallows and also known as the rolling-stone sand flat, where frogfish, Japanese bullhead sharks and flounder are found. Beginners with good air consumption can enjoy it, but the depth reaches about 35 m offshore, where soft-coral gobies, hairy shrimp and crinoid shrimp live, and snipefish and John Dory appear in the cold season.
