White Rock

Also known as: Sydney Opera House · Jazirat Kaysah

White Rock lies about 200 m off the Ras Khayser headland as boats enter Sheesa Bay, and its outline earned it the nickname Sydney Opera House. It is a site for experienced divers only, often swept by strong currents with a dangerous down current on one of its points. Queenfish, barracuda, giant trevally, cobia, huge marble rays, schooling Moorish idols and big honeycomb morays are the draw, and whale sharks have been seen. Recreational divers usually stay around 20 to 25 m, while technical divers can reach a fish bowl at 45 to 50 m. An underwater ridge links the rock with the mainland.
