Kuroshima V-Drop - Ishigaki & Yaeyama

Kuroshima V-Drop is a mellow introduction to Ishigaki's wall diving, perfect for those still building confidence on vertical reefs. The wall itself isn't particularly deep, topping out around 18 metres, making it an easy drift for beginners. You'll find plenty of smaller critters tucked into the crevices, often a few morays peeking out, and the visibility tends to be pretty consistent here. It’s a comfortable dive, letting you focus on buoyancy and spotting the finer details.
