Dive-site story
Located off the eastern coast of Havelock Island in the Andaman archipelago, Turtle Beach features a gently sloping sandy seabed dotted with patch reefs and coral bommies. Green and hawksbill sea turtles frequent the area to feed on algae and rest among the coral formations. Calm surface conditions and mild currents make this an accessible dive site for training sessions, leisurely afternoon dives, and macro photography.
