About Jackson'S Bar
Jackson'S Bar is a deep Andaman ridge dive off Havelock that works best as a current-managed boat dive. The reef is a long slope with soft corals and barrel sponges, and the water can move hard enough to keep the dive energetic. It suits experienced divers who want a drift-style profile with real fish action rather than a casual scenic route. Barracuda, groupers, wrasses, stingrays, and the occasional turtle or reef shark are part of the draw.
