Juvi’s is a shallow coral reef near John Lawrence Island with 500 meters of potato coral formations that you will not find at other Andaman dive sites. Clear water and minimal currents make it beginner-friendly, and there is plenty of marine life to see.
The real draw is the reef sharks. Juvi’s is one of the few shallow sites where beginners can safely see these animals up close.
A 10-15 minute speedboat ride delivers you to Havelock’s most visually distinctive underwater landscape. The reef top appears at 4 meters—shallow enough for perfect natural light.
The potato corals stretch 500 meters in rounded, bulbous formations. Schools of trevally and snappers cruise past. Parrotfish graze on coral. And then—movement at the reef edge. A reef shark glides past before disappearing into the blue.
The gentle 4m to 12m slope gives you extended bottom time and slower air consumption. At 8 meters, you are in the sweet spot where the light is good and fish life is at its densest.
Juvi’s is where I take people who think sharks are scary. The reef sharks here are calm, curious, and completely non-aggressive. Beginners get their first shark encounter in water they can handle. And the potato coral is genuinely unique to this site.
