Izu Dive Reports

[Mar Scuba]

I thought that people might be interested in dive condition reports from our dives on the Izu penninsula.

To get it started, here's a brief report:

Location: Atami
Dive Site: Bitagane
Weather Conditions: Hazy sunshine (bright)
Air Temperature: 30 degrees
Water Temperature: 22 degrees at depth (18 meters)
Visibility 5-8 meters

I heard from the others who dove the Wreck (Chinsen) in the morning that vis was 20 meters. Probably Sodaine would have had better visibility than Bitagane.

Next week: Atami

Yes wasn't it nice! We dove Sodaine on Saturday and had great visibility. At least 15 meters. At depth 16-17 degrees.

Thanks, Thomas, for the Sodaine info. What was your max. depth?

For the benefit of the other readers of the thread, the temperature at recreational depths for the sites in Atami was about 19-20 degrees C.
