About Hospital
Hospital is a deeper Andaman reef with a sloping rocky profile, sandy breaks, and overhangs that hold dense fish life. It suits boat divers who are comfortable with a more open, slightly more demanding site than a sheltered training reef. Plan it for settled weather, a conservative profile, and a patient pace along the ridge. The best dive here is the one where the crew can choose a calm window and let the reef unfold slowly.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided scuba dive for divers comfortable with deeper reef structure and a slower look-around pace.

Not a freedive-first site; the main structure sits deeper and is better explored on scuba.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the reef interest is deeper and built around rock structure.
