This is a boat dive run through Praslin-area operators rather than a casual shore entry.
White Bank is a boat-accessed granite dive off Praslin with broken rock ledges, pockets, and mixed reef growth that hold a lot of life. It suits scuba divers who like a compact site with a short transfer, clear-water potential, and enough channel influence to make buoyancy and spacing worth planning carefully. Operators often fold it into a flexible Praslin day trip when conditions cooperate.
