🌊 The waters of Atami are always full of mystery and beauty.

Beneath the surface of the water, there is another world that is disconnected from everyday life.
🪸 Brightly colored soft corals, 🐟 schools of fish, wrecks ⚓ that have spent many years quietly in the sea.
All of them give you new discoveries and impressions every time you dive.

⚓ Atami Wreck Point is one of the most popular diving spots in Japan.
The hull, which is about 80 meters long, lies on the seabed as if welcoming divers, and is home to countless creatures.
From Spring to summer, the shadows of the fish become even darker, and 🐠 the feeling of moving through the school that swims around the hull is like being part of the sea.

🚉 Atami is only 90 minutes from Tokyo and has good Access, so it is a nice point that you can easily go on a day trip.
🤿 You will be accompanied by an experienced guide, so even if you are new to wreck diving, you can try it with confidence.
The light shining into the interior of the wreck, the soft coral swaying, and the silence drifting on the seabed.
All of this is a special experience that you will never get on land.

🍂 Diving shows a different look in each season, so you will never get tired of it no matter how many times you visit.
Especially in autumn, the water temperature is high and the transparency is good, making it ideal for taking a closer look at the entire wreck.

If you are thinking "I want to do a wreck dive someday", please take this opportunity to go to the waters of Atami.
🌊 Why don't you take a deep breath and step into the blue and quiet unknown?
