Kuroshima North Twin Rock

Also known as: Kuroshima North Twin Rocks · Kuroshima Twin Rocks · Twin Rock · 黒島北ツインロック (Japanese) · 黒島ツインロック (Japanese)

The twin rocks and a detached rock further out are surrounded by walls that fall almost vertically, and divers hop from rock to rock in mid-water. Dives either start from an anchored boat in the lagoon of Kuroshima North and drift out to the rocks, or begin as a full drift from offshore. The outer reef draws schools of fusiliers, dogtooth tuna and other pelagic fish, and whitetip reef sharks and turtles are common. Pygmy seahorses and sea goldies give macro subjects, and hammerheads, mantas and whale sharks have been seen on rare occasions. Up- and down-currents can occur around the corners where the flow is strongest.
