Why dive here
With 183+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, sea turtles, sperm whales and lionfish - White Bank offers some of Inner Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest March, April, May.
White Bank offers a drift dive over a sandy bottom, broken by granite boulders and small coral patches. You’ll often spot stingrays resting on the sand, along with reef sharks patrolling the area. It’s a site best suited for divers who enjoy a relaxed drift and appreciate the smaller details found between the rocks, rather than dense coral formations.
