Red Light House

Red Light House is a beginner-friendly dive site in the Andaman Islands, India, near a coastal lighthouse on Havelock Island, offering an easy shore dive descending to 12 meters. The reef features a gentle slope of healthy hard corals interspersed with sandy patches, creating a varied habitat that supports an impressive diversity of reef fish for such a shallow site. Clownfish anemones dot the reef in colorful clusters, while parrotfish, wrasse, and surgeonfish provide constant movement. The site is particularly popular for night dives, when the reef transforms with hunting lionfish, dancing Spanish dancers, and bioluminescent plankton sparkling in the water. The easy entry, shallow depth, and calm conditions make Red Light House ideal for new divers taking their first open water breaths, while the quality of the night diving adds a dimension that brings experienced divers back repeatedly.
