Jogashima
Jogashima: bridge-access island diving with walls and macro life
Bridge-access island dive area near Tokyo with shore and boat options, dramatic rock structure, and a strong macro focus.
About Jogashima
Jogashima is a bridge-accessed island dive area at the tip of the Miura Peninsula, known for shore and boat dives with dramatic walls, overhangs, and rock layers. The island is directly hit by the Kuroshio Current, which brings pelagic fish through the area and keeps the macro scene lively. Its closeness to Tokyo makes it a popular day-trip choice, but visibility is often limited and the best dives reward slow, careful planning.
