Sagami Bay drops to more than 1,500m within sight of shore, which is why Izu diving goes from beginner reefs to deep water in a few miles. Atami's dive scene grew out of the resort trade, the wreck is a 20-minute run from a town best known for onsen. Anchorage: Atami is a hot-spring resort town with a harbour, an hour from Tokyo, and the standard first stop down the Izu peninsula. Hazards: Depth, boat traffic and reduced visibility after rain.
