Mikomoto Hammers is a diving center, operating in the Mikomoto ocean since 2001,here in the Minamiizu area. Located at the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula, we mainly guide divers around Mikomoto Island, a small uninhabited island, 10 km southeast of Izu Peninsula.
Mikomoto Island is one of the best diving spots in the world. Because of the strong Kuroshio Current flowing close by, it creates both a dynamic topography as well as an abundance of marine life. It`s also your best chance to meet large sea creatures, like the school of hammerhead sharks that live around Mikomoto Island, tan experience most divers only dream about.This school of hammer head sharks, often spotted from early summer to the end of autumn. The size of the school is world class.
We are professional instructors, with experiences and knowledge about diving in this special area. Our crew has experiences diving in places such as the Maldives, Phuket, Palau and Okinawa.
We have a guesthouse facility with a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere specifically designed for divers. So, if you are not able to arrive early on the day of diving, you can consider staying with us from the night before. We offer a courtesy shuttle bus from the Izukyu Shimoda Station, for customers arriving by train.
Our mission is to provide a safe and comfortable diving trip for our guests. You can be assured that our staff will do their best to help you have an unforgettable experience.
