Best for beginner divers, 10-23m, boat entry, mild current.
Kuroshima Nakamoto Cave is a boat-access site located in the Kabira Area of Ishigaki Island. The topography features a reef system combined with a cave section, with depths ranging from 10 to 23 metres. While the site experiences mild currents, the presence of an overhead environment requires careful navigation and awareness of your position at all times. Visibility can vary significantly between dives, so it is recommended to consult with your operator regarding current conditions before entering the cave. This site is suitable for beginners, provided they maintain close proximity to their guide and adhere to safety protocols for overhead environments.

Because visibility can vary significantly, ask your operator about recent conditions before committing to the cave section, as low visibility inside an overhead environment is not suitable for new divers. Facilities are unconfirmed, so bring everything you need on the boat.
