Deep Andaman reef with strong current and rich life.
The Junction is a deep reef between Neil and Havelock where soft-coral ledges and eastward current make the whole dive feel fast and concentrated. The reef rewards organized divers with crevasses, macro life, and bigger visitors moving through the current. It is a boat dive for experienced divers who are comfortable working in moving water and turning the dive early when the window closes.
