How much does scuba diving cost in Andaman?

Scuba diving in Andaman costs from ₹2,500 for a single fun dive and ₹3,000–₹3,500 for a beginner Discover Scuba (DSD) shore dive. Boat dives at Havelock or North Bay run ₹6,500–₹6,799, and a full PADI Open Water certification is around ₹28,000. Most first-timers spend ₹3,000–₹6,800 per person.

Can non-swimmers do scuba diving in Andaman?

Yes. Beginner Discover Scuba dives require no swimming ability. A certified instructor stays with you for the entire dive and handles your buoyancy and equipment. If you would rather stay upright, Sea Walk lets you walk on the seabed in a helmet and see the reef without swimming.

Which is the best place for scuba diving in Andaman?

Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) is the main diving base, with popular beginner sites like Elephant Beach, Nemo Reef and The Aquarium, and offshore sites like Johnny's Gorge and Dixon's Pinnacle for certified divers. Neil Island and North Bay off Port Blair are calmer options good for first dives.

Do I need a PADI certification to scuba dive in Andaman?

No. You can do a beginner Discover Scuba dive without any certification, an instructor guides you throughout. A PADI or SSI Open Water certification is only needed if you want to dive independently or reach deeper sites.

PADI vs SSI, does the certification agency matter?

Not for most divers. PADI and SSI are both globally recognised, and a certification from either is accepted at dive centres worldwide. The training standards are equivalent, so choose the course by the operator, the instructor and the schedule that fits your trip rather than the badge.

Can I dive during the monsoon in Andaman?

Diving is limited during the June to September monsoon. Offshore sites usually close because of rough seas and boat cancellations, though sheltered shore dives near Havelock sometimes run on calmer days. For reliable diving, plan your trip between October and May.

Is there an age limit for scuba diving in Andaman?

Discover Scuba dives are generally open from about 10 years old upward, and most operators have no fixed upper age limit for a beginner dive as long as you are in reasonable health. Certification courses start at 10 to 15 depending on the agency. Operators screen for heart, ear and lung conditions before any dive.

How long should I wait to fly after scuba diving?

Wait at least 18 to 24 hours after your last dive before flying, so dissolved nitrogen clears your system and you avoid decompression sickness. Plan your dives for the start of your Andaman trip, not the morning of your departure flight, and keep a full day between your final dive and your flight home.

What is included in an Andaman scuba diving package?

A scuba-inclusive Andaman package bundles your dive session(s) with stay, inter-island ferries, airport and hotel transfers, and sightseeing. Certification courses, extra dives, Sea Walk and snorkelling can be added on request, and your agent lists exactly what is covered before you book.

Is it safe to book an Andaman scuba diving package with TravelTriangle?

Yes. Dives are run by certified operators with instructor supervision, and every package is booked through a verified TravelTriangle agent network with real traveller reviews and 24/7 on-trip support.

Best Dive Sites in Andaman

Havelock is the main diving base and has the widest choice of sites, from shallow reefs for first dives to deeper walls and pinnacles that only certified divers can reach. Neil Island and North Bay off Port Blair suit beginners who want calm, clear shallows. The table below covers the sites your instructor is most likely to run.

Dive site	Island / area	What you see	Level
Elephant Beach	Havelock (Swaraj Dweep)	Shallow coral, reef fish, popular first dive	Beginner
Nemo Reef	Havelock	Clownfish, soft coral, easy visibility	Beginner
The Aquarium	Havelock	Dense reef fish in shallow water, common training site	Beginner
North Bay	Off Port Blair	Coral gardens, quick boat access from the city	Beginner

Best Time for Scuba Diving in Andaman

The best time for scuba diving in Andaman is roughly March to May, when the sea is calmest and underwater visibility is highest, often 15 to 30 metres at the offshore sites. The broader diving season runs October to May. June to September brings the southwest monsoon, rougher seas and frequent boat cancellations, so offshore sites like Johnny's Gorge and Dixon's Pinnacle usually close and only sheltered shore dives run. A practical tip from our Andaman desk: in the shoulder months, book morning dives, when the sea is flattest and afternoon wind chop is least likely to cancel your boat.

How to Reach and Permits

Most divers fly into Veer Savarkar International Airport (Sri Vijaya Puram / Port Blair, code IXZ), then take a 1.5 to 2.5 hour government or private ferry to Havelock or Neil. Book the ferry a day ahead in peak season, as the fast catamarans sell out. Indian nationals need only a photo ID. Foreign nationals no longer need the old Restricted Area Permit for the main tourist islands but should carry their passport, as select islands still require a permit on arrival. Your package includes all airport and inter-island transfers, so this is arranged for you.

How to Choose the Right Scuba Package

By experience level

New to diving? Pick any package with a Havelock or Neil stay and add a Discover Scuba dive, no certification needed. Want to get certified? Choose a package with 3 to 4 nights on Havelock so there is time for a full PADI or SSI Open Water course.

By budget

The lowest starting fares sit around INR 17,652 for a short Port Blair and Havelock trip. Mid-range 5 to 6 night packages run INR 21,000 to INR 22,000, and week-long multi-island trips with more dive days start around INR 24,000 to INR 26,000 per person.

By duration

A 4N/5D trip covers Port Blair plus one diving base and a single dive comfortably. A 6N/5D or longer trip lets you dive Havelock and Neil both, or fit a full certification course.

By diving base

Havelock has the most dive sites, including the offshore marquee sites. Neil is quieter with gentle reefs. Not sure which island suits you? Compare both in our Andaman scuba diving guide.

Places to Visit in Andaman

Between dives, most travellers pair Havelock's Radhanagar Beach, the Cellular Jail light-and-sound show in Port Blair, and the Ross and North Bay islands. For the full list and day plans, see our Andaman places to visit guide.

Things to Do in Andaman

Beyond scuba, Andaman packages can add snorkelling, Sea Walk, jet ski and parasailing at Elephant Beach and North Bay, glass-bottom boat rides, and a bioluminescence kayak night. Browse all activities in our things to do in Andaman guide.

Jagan Reddy

Bangalore

Jagan's 7 days trip to Andaman

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Testimonial for Peral Andaman Our Andaman trip was truly unforgettable, and all the credit goes to Peral Andaman for their excellent planning and support. From ferry bookings and hotel arrangements to sightseeing and activity coordination, everything was managed professionally and without a

ny hassle. The team was always available to assist us, ensuring our journey was smooth and enjoyable. The ferry travel between Port Blair, Havelock, Neil Island, and Ross Island was well coordinated, and their guidance helped us make the most of our time. The early morning sightseeing, the unique 58 km convoy journey through the tribal reserve, the breathtaking beaches, and the amazing water sports made this trip one of the best vacations we've had. My suggestion to anyone visiting Andaman is to plan at least 6 nights and 7 days to enjoy the islands at a relaxed pace. Thank you once again, Peral Andaman, for your outstanding service, hospitality, and continuous support. We highly recommend your team to anyone planning an Andaman holiday. A big thank you to Peral Andaman for helping make our Andaman trip a wonderful and memorable experience. Everything was very well organized, and your support throughout the journey was truly appreciated. Your excellent coordination, prompt assistance, and friendly service made our vacation completely stress-free. We had an amazing time because of your team's efforts. A few tips for anyone planning an Andaman trip: - Ferry tickets should be booked well in advance, especially for the routes Port Blair → Havelock → Neil Island → Port Blair → Ross Island, to get the best timings and avoid last-minute issues. - Be prepared for early mornings. Most sightseeing starts between 4:00 AM and 7:00 AM, and you'll usually return to your hotel only around 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM after a full day of activities. - One of the unique experiences is the 58 km journey through the tribal reserve, where travel is allowed only with a police convoy while going and returning. It is a truly different experience and offers a glimpse of the region's unique environment. - The destinations are absolutely beautiful, and the water sports and adventure activities are fantastic. They are a must-try for anyone visiting the islands. Overall, I highly recommend planning at least 6 nights and 7 days to comfortably explore the major islands and enjoy all the attractions without rushing. Once again, thank you, Peral Andaman, for your outstanding support and making our holiday so special. I highly recommend your services to anyone planning an Andaman vacation!

Mr Jhashobhit

Kolkata

Mr's 5 days trip to Andaman

Overall Experience: While the itinerary ultimately covered all the promised destinations, the first few days of the trip were highly stressful due to poor breakfast service, below-average accommodations, transportation discrepancies, and lack of support from both the booking partner and local agent

s. 1. Breakfast Service (First 2 Days) Day 1: My flight timings changed, and I requested an early breakfast, which was denied. While I understood the policy, it set a disappointing tone. Day 2: We had an early morning checkout to travel to Havelock Island. We were provided a packed breakfast consisting only of low-quality bread, butter, jam, and a packed mango juice. This was highly unsatisfactory. 2. Havelock Island Accommodations & Itinerary Delays Resort Quality: The resort provided on Havelock Island was extremely poor. The rooms felt like below-average huts, resulting in a terrible experience. Service Delay: It took almost an hour of arguing to get our room changed. Lack of Local Agent Support: Because of the room change, our itinerary ran late. The local agent asked why we were running late and insensitively suggested we should have gone on the tour first and changed rooms later. It is unreasonable to expect guests to go out without freshening up first. 3. Transport Issues Havelock Island: We were initially given an Alto to travel to Radhanagar Beach, which did not match what was promised during booking. After confronting the agent, they upgraded us to a Scorpio for the return journey to the resort. Neil Island: The driver on Neil Island was incredibly rushed, constantly forcing us to hurry through our sightseeing because he had another group of guests waiting for his next trip. 4. Discounts and Financial Discrepancies We were promised a 40% discount on water sports activities, but this was not honored. We were forced to pay the full price/whatever rate was quoted on-site, with zero assistance from your team. 5. Booking Partner & Coordinator Support The resort provided on Neil Island was very good, and the final legs of the trip went smoothly. However, the travel partner we booked through provided almost no assistance during the trip. It felt like we had to figure everything out on our own, and we were left entirely at the mercy of the local agent. Conclusion The lack of coordination, poor initial accommodations, and unhelpful local support made the first few days of our vacation incredibly uneasy and stressful. I expect a formal response regarding the unhonored discounts and the standard of service provided
