The Red Pillar Dive Site

The Red Pillar Dive Site is an offshore scuba diving site near Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island) in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It is centered around a prominent red-hued coral pillar formation rising from the seabed. Known for clear waters, vibrant corals and diverse marine life, the site is popular with certified divers and dive training operators based on Havelock Island for underwater exploration.

Visitors can expect a boat ride from Havelock Island to an open-water dive site featuring a distinctive vertical coral pillar. Underwater, divers see hard and soft corals, reef fish and clear visibility in calm conditions. The site is accessed only through licensed dive operators who provide equipment, briefing and guided dives. No permanent structures exist at the site itself; all facilities are on the boats and at dive centers on the island.
