End of Dive Season 2008 – Hatsushima <25.10.2008>

It is already end of October, the temperatures start to drop below 20 deg. and the leafs start to change their color.
This is a clear sign to finish the diving for this season :'-(
And to make this a special event I had the chance to visit one of the Izu Islands Hatsushima – which is the closest to Tokyo and really easy to reach.

It just takes you 1.5 hours car ride and an other 30 min boat transfer before you reach the small but lovely island. There is not much to see and only few hundred people lives here but this is exactly what makes its charm.


The island is run by one dive station which offers several dive sites on two location of the island.


Beside the good diving spots – especially for Macro Divers – the island offers you a nice coast scene with dramatic rock coast lines.

This is a perfect finish of your weekend trip before you had home with the last ferry…


The finish of my 2nd season @ 160 dives
