White Rock is a popular diving destination located in Qesm Shlatin, Red Sea Governorate, Egypt. This Indian Ocean site offers accessible diving for both beginners and intermediate divers, with depths ranging from 5 to 40 meters.

The dive site features a distinctive white limestone formation that gives the location its name. Divers encounter vibrant coral gardens and rocky outcrops teeming with Red Sea marine life. Common sightings include colorful reef fish, angelfish, butterflyfish, groupers, and occasionally larger pelagics such as jacks and snappers. The area also attracts sea turtles and rays.

White Rock’s moderate difficulty makes it ideal for recreational divers seeking to explore healthy reef ecosystems without advanced technical requirements. The site’s shallow sections provide excellent opportunities for photography and coral observation, while deeper sections challenge more experienced divers.
