Ita: clear-water shore dive with slope and macro life
Ita is a beach dive site in Nishi Izu with a clear-water rocky slope, open-ocean exposure and a profile that rewards photo diving as much as simple reef cruising. The site is known for strong tidal flow, schools of snapper and yellowtail, and macro life such as frogfish and nudibranchs, so it suits divers who like an easy shore entry with active water and plenty to look at.

Gentle rocky slope with open-water exposure, good bottom contours and a profile that can vary dive to dive.
