Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, whale sharks, clownfish and pufferfish - White Rock, Ko Tarutao offers some of Koh Lanta & Phi Phi's richest diving.
White Rock, out by Ko Tarutao, is a relaxed spot, perfect for getting back into the swing of things or for newer divers. The maximum depth is a gentle 17 metres, making it easy to manage your air and take your time exploring. It’s a rocky reef, scattered with plenty of nooks and crannies where you often find scorpionfish tucked away, or moray eels peeking out. We’ve had some lovely, easy dives here, just cruising around, watching the schools of snapper drift by.
