About Hatsushima Island
Hatsushima Island is a ferry-reached dive island off Atami with an on-island dive center and a mix of beach and boat points. The main site combines white sand, rock, and a short drop-off, while the outer points add more structure and a stronger current profile. Plan around wind, swell, and tide because the best point changes with conditions. Macro life is the draw, with nudibranchs, frogfish, catsharks, shrimp, and seasonal squid making the island interesting year-round.
