Izu Ocean Park sits on the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture, a stretch of Honshu's Pacific coast well known among Japanese divers for its shore diving centers. The peninsula's volcanic coastline drops into the Philippine Sea, and this area is one of several dive operations clustered along the western side facing Suruga Bay. The site is a reef reaching a maximum depth of around 18 metres and is rated a beginner dive, making it accessible for shore entries typical of this stretch of coast.
