Hospital: deeper reef with coral overhangs
Boat timing, site selection, and safety calls are handled by the local crew.
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.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
22m - 35m
Depth Note
The ridge slopes up to 22 m and overlooks a sandy patch at a depth of over 35 m.
Best Season
November to May
Typical Conditions
Calmer seas and clearer water are the dry-season baseline; the site feels more comfortable when the weather is settled.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Overhangs are present, and the site reaches depths beyond 35 m.
Access Restrictions
Boat access through a local operator; not a walk-in site.
Legal Notes
Standard island dive-operator rules and permit logistics apply.
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.
Freediving
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.
