About White Rock
White Rock is the heartbeat of Koh Tao diving. This expansive rocky reef system offers something for every level, from shallow coral gardens at 2m to deeper boulder formations at 22m. Hawksbill turtles are frequently spotted, and the nooks and crannies harbor a treasure trove of nudibranchs, seahorses, and moray eels. It's also Koh Tao's premier night dive site, where bioluminescence and hunting octopuses steal the show.
Tips
Do a night dive here if you get the chance — it's a completely different world after dark.
Experience Required
