Scuba diving in the Andaman Islands has been on the list of top things to do in the Andaman, amongst those visitors who look for adventure and peace under the waves. Situated in the Bay of Bengal, these Andamans represent a lively underwater world inhabited by extraordinary marine life and magnificent coral reefs. From relaxation after a day of sightseeing to exploring the mysterious depths of the ocean, there is much more in these Andaman Islands that can be held back in memory.
Scuba diving in the Andaman is best from November to April because of the good weather and underwater visibility. However, diving takes place all year round, as each season provides unique experiences and encounters with marine life. Join the adventure and live your dreams underwater in this tropical paradise, whatever the season may be!
Age and Health Concerns
– Age Limits:
Scuba diving in the Andamans is open to all people between the ages of 12 and 50 years.
– Health Restrictions:
Those suffering from any medical conditions like asthma, heart problems, high or low blood pressure, or are pregnant, etc., should consult their doctor before taking up scuba diving. This aspect is given paramount importance; therefore, a medical check-up ensures safe diving.
Shore dives are done at North Bay Island and Havelock Island for first-time divers and non-swimmers. It is relatively pocket-friendly but will give you a slow induction into the underwater world. You can explore vibrant marine life and colourful corals just off the shore in shallow, clear waters. This is an ideal way to start your diving journey.
Boat diving, practised at Havelock and Neil Island, is a far more adventurous way to dive. Shortly after a briefing about equipment and safety, you would then board a boat and be taken to deeper and more exciting dive sites. This type of dive, therefore, applies to both beginners with basic swimming skills and experienced divers.
The Andaman Islands offer diving at its best for all categories of learning. A brief description is given below:
