About Black Island Lighthouse

Black Island Lighthouse is a calm shore-access bay on the northwest point of Black Island, where a large sandy bottom and sloping rock sides make it useful for training and easy reef diving. The site works best when southerly winds leave the bay protected, while the deeper rocky edges keep the dive interesting for intermediate divers.

Scuba Diving

Used for try-dives and training in shallow water; the rocky slopes extend to deeper depths suitable for continuing dives.

Freediving

Relaxed freedive practice can fit the calm sandy bottom, but the deeper rocky sides are better treated as scuba territory.

The calm bay and sandy bottom are the most surface-friendly part of the site, though the deeper rocky sides quickly move out of casual snorkeling range.
