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.
