Havelock channel dive with clear water and current
Channel 62 is a deep channel dive between Havelock and John Lawrence Island, with clear water and a strong passage feel. It is a site for experienced divers who want a blue-water profile and the chance to see large schools of fish moving through the channel. This is a scuba-first dive where current and route planning matter more than a relaxed reef cruise.
