Kuroshima North - dive site in Kerama Islands
teriyakidiverzWe’ll be introducing Kuroshima North, one of the most popular dive sites in the Kerama Islands.
What makes Kuroshima North so special?
✔️ Rich Coral Reefs and Colorful Tropical Fish
At Kuroshima North, schools of vibrant fish such as Sea goldie, Stout chromis, and Pyramid butterflyfish dance above the coral reefs, creating an underwater scene that feels like paradise. The crystal-clear waters offer excellent visibility, making it a great spot not only for diving but also for snorkeling.
✔️Chance to See a Whitetip Reef Shark
It’s not uncommon to spot whitetip reef sharks resting in the shade of rock shelves and crevices during the day. Venturing into the narrow cracks and suddenly coming face-to-face with a shark is a thrilling and unforgettable experience—one that’s uniquely Kuroshima North. And if you’re really lucky, you might even spot a hammerhead shark lurking in the deeper offshore waters!
✔️ Enjoyable for Beginners to Experts
Not only are there vibrant coral reefs in the shallow waters, but there are also beautiful underwater caves at around 12 meters deep. For advanced divers, the popular “Twin Rocks” site further offshore offers a dramatic drop-off centered around two exposed rocks. Here, encounters with large fish like dogtooth tuna and schools of Double-lined fusilier are quite common.
Beneath the exposed rocks, you'll find a vibrant garden of soft corals known as the "Flower Garden."
