Dive-site story
White Rock sits off the western coast of Koh Tao, featuring two prominent granite pinnacles flanked by extensive coral gardens and sandy channels. Divers navigate around massive submerged boulders covered in hard corals, traversing soft-bottom alleys where macro critters shelter. The site serves as a staple for day excursions as well as dusk and night dives, when nocturnal predators emerge to hunt across the reefs.
