About this site
Koganezaki is a shore dive on the West Izu Peninsula in Japan, set within a national park and known for the vivid golden colour that the cliffs take on at sunset. Entry is from the shore and the depth increases gradually, which suits beginners and muck-diving enthusiasts.
Many small fish hide amongst the rocks, including frogfish and colourful pennant coral fish, so a macro lens is worth bringing. The underwater landscape is untouched and easy to explore at a relaxed pace.
