Hazards
- high · Depth and current
Working depth 24–30 m in current. Not a first Andaman dive.
- low · Shark etiquette
White-tips are shy; crowding the sand makes them leave.
Marine life
Typical: whitetip reef shark, trevally, rays, snappers, soft coral on the rim
Seasonal: nurse shark, thicker shark traffic on a running current
Named for legendary local divemaster Johnny; Havelock's premier shark dive
