One of the most alluring snorkelling experiences in the world, the Andaman Islands are a land of crystal-clear waters, radiant coral reefs, and a wealth of marine life to make your experience worthwhile. Be it a first-time snorkeler wishing to swim over shallow reefs or an experienced one eyeing dynamic underwater ecosystems, the things to do in Andaman and Nicobar islands offer both ends of the spectrum.
– Accessible Reefs:
There are plenty of advantages to snorkelling in the Andaman Islands. While in most of those places, the reefs lie deep underwater, at Andamans, they start right from a depth of just a few meters, easily accessible to snorkelers who wish to experience the beauty of the undersea world without advanced scuba diving skills. Warm, crystal-clear waters and soft currents will add comfort to your adventure, making it a relaxing, enjoyable one.
– Guided Tours for Safety and Enrichment:
Most of the snorkelling trips in the Andaman Islands involve a professional guide which ensures your safety and enhances the experience by providing information about marine life and ecosystems. These guides are knowledgeable about the local conditions and are trained in snorkeler assistance, making the adventure both safe and informative.
North Bay Island is one of the best places for snorkeling around Port Blair. Replete with sprawling coral reefs and a mass of marine life, it presents an unexplored view of the underwater world full of colour. A short drive by ferry from Aberdeen Jetty will take you to this tropical paradise. You can find a lot of fish, lobsters, and clams—lots of varieties playing hide and seek among its living coral reefs. Simple meals and refreshments are available in local shacks. Life rings or jackets are always available for safety. Guides will help you through the entire snorkelling experience, and it is even possible when a person has minimum swimming skills.
Jolly Buoy Island, with Red Skin Island, is another well-known snorkelling destination, but Jolly Buoy Island has been closed of late. These spots provide wonderful views of the corals and marine life, which are very colourful. These places are open on a rotational basis; Jolly Buoy is open from November to April, and Red Skin from May to October. The Glass-bottom boat ride and experience are part of it. Just remember that you will also need a permit for the forest and a ticket, which you can take the previous day from the Tourism Office. Andaman Excursion can help you get it booked.
Elephant Beach on Havelock Island is very famous for its crystal clear coral reefs and shallow water. It offers a great setting for snorkelling, where one can view pristine coral formations and a wide variety of marine life. You can get to Elephant Beach by chartering a boat, joining a group island-hopping tour, or trekking up from the main area. You can make your snorkelling experience here well-supported with guide assistance and using your own equipment. The boat trips are normally planned to get back to land in the late afternoon so that it is both safe and an adventure.
Another great location for snorkelling could be Bharatpur Beach, which is situated on Neil Island. Famous for its coral gardens and turtles, Bharatpur Beach offers safe excitement to both amateur and professional snorkelers. It is one of the favourite places among snorkelers who return home with memories of clean waters and abounding marine life.
– Equipment:
Traditional snorkelling gear includes a snorkel, essentially a breathing tube, connected to a mask and swim fins. The latest addition to the list includes the full-face mask, renowned for a much more comfortable way of going through breathing and wider and better visibility.
– Safety:
Mainly, follow all safety rules and what the guide tells you to do. The use of life jackets is highly advisable on the first attempts by beginners or non-swimmers.
– Showing Respect for the Environment:
Practice responsible snorkelling: do not touch or disturb marine life, and avoid contact with coral reefs.
