If you’re going to Kozushima in the summer, we highly recommend you go snorkeling. The visibility here is amazing, with multicolored fish swimming freely through the ocean. You also get to see coral reefs. The Akasaki promenade is a snorkeling area, but in the summer it’s also popular for the dive board – jump of the board into the bright blue sea for an exhilarating experience. Enjoy some Kozushima swimming in the summer!
The closer you are to Kozushima, the bluer the color of the ocean becomes, clearing up to reveal extraordinarily transparent waters.
You can rent 3 piece snorkeling sets at the local dive shops. In the summer they’re also available for purchase at Akasaki promenade, so you can arrive empty-handed and enjoy some Kozushima snorkeling.
