Shishihama

This dive site, Shishihama, is located near the iconic Mt. Fuji in Japan, offering a convenient shore-based diving experience. It features a unique 'Mouth of Truth' sunken area and provides daily night diving opportunities, with reservations required in advance. The site operates with a full-service dive center, including a seawater diving pool and a wide range of tank options from 6L to 14L, Nitrox, and specialized tanks for sidemount and doubles, catering to various diving needs. Divers can expect to encounter a rich diversity of marine life, making it an excellent spot for macro photography. Notable species include the elusive leaf fish, various wrasse species, cleverly camouflaged frogfish, delicate ghost pipefish, and venomous scorpionfish. Moray eels, groupers, flounder, and an abundance of colorful sea slugs, squids, and octopuses are also common.
