Beach Bum

This dive site, Beach Bum, is an artificial seaside pool located near Keikyu Misakiguchi in Japan, primarily designed for diving and snorkeling training. Its controlled and calm environment makes it an excellent location for beginners to learn foundational skills and for certified divers to practice or refresh techniques. The site offers straightforward navigation within its pool structure, making it a safe and predictable setting for various courses, including open water certifications. There is no specific historical significance beyond its purpose as a modern training facility. As an outdoor artificial pool, Beach Bum intentionally lacks natural marine wildlife and plant life. Divers will not encounter fish, corals, or other aquatic species typically found in natural dive sites. The focus here is purely on skill development, equipment familiarization, and practicing techniques in a sterile, safe setting. Optimally visited during pleasant weather from spring to early autumn for comfortable outdoor pool use, Beach Bum offers unique highlights beyond its training utility. April is particularly noted for stunning sunsets aligning perfectly over Mt. Fuji, providing a scenic backdrop to any session. For freedivers, the consistent shallow depth and clear water offer an ideal environment for static and dynamic apnea practice. Divers should approach this site as a dedicated training ground, appreciating the breathtaking above-water vistas rather than seeking marine encounters.
