About White Rock
White Rock is a boat-access reef site south of Koh Nang Yuan built around two surface-reaching pinnacles and a broad coral garden. It is one of Koh Tao's easiest all-round dives, with low current, good visibility on many days, and a layout that works for training, fun dives, and night dives. Divers come for the coral structure, reef fish, and the chance to slow down and explore the site at a relaxed pace.
