Kuroshima Nakamoto Cave - Ishigaki & Yaeyama

Kuroshima Nakamoto Cave is a solid intermediate dive, peaking at 18 meters. You’ll find some striking light penetration here, especially on sunny days as shafts illuminate the cavern’s interior. It’s a good spot for divers comfortable with overhead environments, looking for a scenic, relaxed dive rather than big pelagics. We’d recommend it for photographers keen on dramatic lighting.
