Best for intermediate divers, 8-20m, boat entry.
Gyosho is an artificial reef site located off the Izu Peninsula and Hachijojima, Japan. The topography consists of one-metre square concrete blocks piled on the seafloor, creating a structured habitat that reaches depths between 8 and 20 metres. Access to the site is by boat. Conditions are generally stable, lacking the strong currents found at nearby Nishikawana, which makes the area suitable for intermediate divers and those gaining experience. Divers can navigate from the main fish reef towards the C buoy as they become familiar with the underwater layout. Water temperatures fluctuate seasonally, ranging from 17C in the winter months to 26C in September.
