About Johnny'S Gorge
Johnny's Gorge is a signature Havelock dive with a deep reef-gorge profile, gorgonians, and soft-coral walls that pull fish into the channels. It is run by boat for advanced divers and is known for sharks, rays, and big schooling fish. Plan it as a current-aware deep dive with a long transfer, a solid guide, and a calm window if you want the outer reef to feel settled.
