White Rock

Dive Location:  About 1km south of Nang Yuan.
Depth: Average 9m / Maximum 22m

This is a very enjoyable dive, suitable for both novice and experienced divers. The site consists mainly of two submerged pinnacles, the higher of which is covered by only 2m of water.

The surfaces are broken by a number of elevated shelves graced with a host of honeycomb groupers, long-spined black sea urchins, nudibranchs and various sea anemones. Radiant trees of soft corals mix with knob and pore corals, and are rich with colourful plume worms. Small moray eels, crabs and shrimps have taken up residence in the many cracks and crannies of the rock faces. There are also many titan triggerfish, some of which occasionally act quite aggressively.

White Rock is the area’s most popular night-diving destination. You can see a large resident green turtle, hermit crabs and giant barracuda, attracted to the rock by smaller fish.
