Kuroshima West

Also known as: Kuroshima West / Donut · Donut · Kuroshima Nishi · 黒島西 (Japanese)

The shallows have arches and channels, and the seabed is strewn with stones polished round by the waves. On sunny days light reflects off these stones and makes the dive very bright. Divers anchor at 5 to 10 m on a wide open area and head offshore, where the current often picks up and large sea fans grow. Liberte mentions a manta cleaning spot, and both GOLD and Diving WG say mantas can be met here in season.
