Osezaki caters to divers. It was fairly good walk from the parking area to where we did our first two dives, but we were able to rent a cart for 500 yen to put our dive gear on. There is a paved path along the beach and the area is obviously set up for diving. A paved path with a rough surface (to reduce slipping) leads right to the water. Once in the water there is even a post to lean on while you put on your fins. Lots of rocks down to about 15 meters, then a wide expanse of sandy bottom as it gradually slopes down. Starting at about 20-25 meters we started to see lots of coral and the bottom continued to slope down. O
