Best for intermediate divers, Up to 21m, boat entry, moderate current.
A Point is a reef dive located off the Izu Peninsula, Japan, reaching depths of 21 metres. This boat-accessible site is suited for intermediate divers due to moderate currents and consistent surge. Visibility typically ranges between 10 and 25 metres. The reef structure supports a variety of temperate marine life, including reef fish and invertebrates common to the region. Water temperatures fluctuate from 18C in winter to 27C in summer, requiring appropriate thermal protection. Divers should monitor conditions closely for surge and swell activity, which can intensify around the reef, and manage buoyancy accordingly throughout the 50-minute dive.

The moderate current is manageable for intermediate divers, but surge and swell can intensify conditions quickly, so check the forecast carefully before committing to the dive. A 5mm wetsuit with hood suits the cooler months, while a 3mm shorty is sufficient when temperatures peak in summer.
