Kuroshima V-Drop
★★★★☆
(88)
Kuroshima V Drop is a typical dive site located in Kuroshima, Taketomi Town, Okinawa Prefecture. It is characterized by a dynamic drop-off with a V-shaped reef cut into it. 5m~30m deep, it is known for schools of manta rays, sea turtles and migratory fish, especially in winter.
You can see a large school of yellowtails and blue tangs along the dynamic drop-off, longnose hawkfish and violet sea otters along the topography, nudibranchs and lobsters in the rocks.
