Inglis Island – Havelock Island Dive Site

Site Overview

Inglis Island is Havelock Island most remote and rewarding dive destination offering an extraordinary offshore reef experience where pristine coral walls, strong currents, and minimal diving pressure create world-class conditions for advanced divers seeking the ultimate Andaman Sea diving adventure. The offshore reef system surrounds the tiny uninhabited island with dramatic walls and slopes descending from 8 meters to beyond 32 meters covered in pristine hard and soft coral formations that have remained largely untouched due to the site remote location and challenging access conditions. Grey reef sharks patrol the deeper wall sections in impressive numbers while dogtooth tuna and giant trevally hunt along the reef perimeter creating adrenaline-charged pelagic encounters on every dive. Napoleon wrasse cruise the shallower reef slopes and seasonal manta rays visit the cleaning stations during the peak months from January to April creating once-in-a-lifetime diving moments. The strong currents that define the site bring abundant nutrients that sustain extraordinarily healthy coral ecosystems and attract the largest concentration of pelagic species found anywhere on Havelock Island. The remote uninhabited setting creates an authentic wilderness diving atmosphere far from the crowds of the more accessible Havelock sites. The combination of pristine coral ecosystems, reliable pelagic encounters, and the adventure of diving at a remote offshore location makes Inglis Island the crown jewel of the Andaman diving experience for advanced divers willing to make the longer boat journey.
