Dive-site story
White House Rock is a submerged coral-covered rock formation off Havelock Island in the Andaman Sea. Massive hard coral bommies intermingle with sea fans and soft coral colonies around the main structure, providing shelter for resting turtles and schooling reef fish. Divers usually navigate around the boulder formations where fissures and overhangs offer refuge to nocturnal marine life and macro critters.
Extensive rock boulders and coral bommies forming swim-throughs and crevices
Frequent encounters with hawksbill turtles feeding among soft corals
Sheltered conditions suitable for training and relaxed exploration
