Red Pillar / Peel Island Reef - Andaman Islands

Red Pillar, off Peel Island, is a proper easy-going dive. At just 11 meters, it’s a brilliant spot if you’re new to diving or just want a relaxed potter around. We usually find groups of parrotfish munching away on the corals, and if you’re patient, you might spot a stonefish blending into the reef. It’s a gentle introduction to the Andaman’s underwater world, never too challenging, just calm and colourful.
