South-facing shore dive at Inatori with easy guide-rope navigation.
Inatori Port is a south-facing self-diving shore site in Higashi Izu, with a broad gorota-and-sand beach at Shizuma that stays workable even when narai winds hit. Underwater guide ropes and buoy markers make navigation simple, so the site suits relaxed shore dives and training days more than a technical profile. Expect a flexible, condition-aware outing rather than a hard entry or a current-driven route.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Use the guide ropes and buoy markers to stay oriented, and keep an eye on surf and weather because entry comfort changes first.

Shore access is managed through the site window, and rough sea conditions can shorten or close the usable period.
Legal Notes
Follow the local dive-center operating window and beach rules; do not assume unrestricted all-day access.
