How much does scuba diving cost in Andaman?

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

What is the price of scuba diving in Andaman per person?

Per-person prices start at about ₹2,500 for an experienced diver’s single fun dive and ₹3,000 to ₹3,500 for a beginner shore DSD. A boat-based intro dive is ₹6,500 to ₹6,799 per person. Prices are quoted per person and vary by island and shore-vs-boat dive.

Which island is cheapest for scuba diving in Andaman?

North Bay Island near Port Blair is usually the cheapest, with shore dives from around ₹3,400 per person. Neil Island (about ₹3,490) is also budget-friendly. Havelock boat dives cost more (about ₹6,400) because they reach premium reefs by boat.

Is Discover Scuba (DSD) or a fun dive cheaper?

A single fun dive (for certified divers) is cheapest at ₹2,500 to ₹6,500. A Discover Scuba (DSD) intro dive for beginners is ₹3,000 to ₹3,500 from shore or ₹6,500 to ₹6,799 by boat. DSD needs no certification, which is why first-timers choose it.

What is the cost of a PADI certification course in Andaman?

A PADI Open Water certification course costs around ₹28,000 plus tax and takes 3 to 4 days. The next level, PADI Advanced Open Water, is about ₹24,000. A certification lets you dive independently on any future trip, so it is better value than repeat DSD dives.

Does the scuba diving price include photos, video and gear?

Gear and an instructor are normally included in the dive price, but underwater photos and video are usually a paid add-on. Always confirm with the operator whether your quote includes media and GST before booking, as this is the most common reason two prices differ.

Is GST included in the scuba diving price in Andaman?

Some operators quote prices inclusive of GST and others add it on top, so always ask. Course fees such as PADI Open Water (about ₹28,000) are commonly quoted before tax. Confirm the all-in price in writing before you pay.

What is the cheapest scuba diving option in Andaman?

The cheapest option is a single fun dive from about ₹2,500 for certified divers, or a shore Discover Scuba dive from ₹3,000 to ₹3,500 for beginners on North Bay or Neil Island. Shore dives are cheaper than boat dives.

What is the best time for scuba diving in Andaman?

The best time for scuba diving in Andaman is October to May, peaking February to May when underwater visibility is at its clearest. Most dive operators suspend trips during the July to September monsoon because of rough seas and reduced visibility.

Can non-swimmers and beginners do scuba diving in Andaman?

Yes. A Discover Scuba (DSD) dive is designed for non-swimmers and first-timers, and a certified instructor stays with you throughout. The minimum age is usually 10. You should be comfortable in water and free of the medical conditions operators screen for; no certification is required.

A boat dive at Havelock or North Bay runs Rs 6,500 to 6,799, and a full PADI Open Water certification is around Rs 28,000.

How Much Does Scuba Diving in Andaman Cost?

Scuba diving in Andaman costs from Rs 2,500 per person for a single fun dive and Rs 3,000 to 3,500 for a beginner Discover Scuba (DSD) shore dive. A boat dive at Havelock or North Bay runs Rs 6,500 to 6,799, while a full PADI Open Water certification course is around Rs 28,000. Most first-timers spend Rs 3,000 to 6,800 per person, depending on the island, shore vs boat dive, and whether photos and video are included.

Scuba Diving Price in Andaman: Location-wise

Prices vary by island and by whether the dive is from the shore or by boat. North Bay Island (near Port Blair) is the most budget-friendly entry point. Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) sites such as Nemo Reef and The Wall cost more because they are boat dives at premium reefs. Barren Island sits at the top of the range: it is a remote, permit-only volcanic site reached by liveaboard, so it is priced for advanced divers, not first-timers.

Location	Dive type	Indicative price / person	Best for
North Bay Island (Port Blair)	Shore / DSD	from ~Rs 3,400	First-timers, budget
Port Blair (general)	DSD shore	~Rs 4,000	Convenience near city
Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep)	Shore / DSD	~Rs 3,490	Calm, beginner-friendly
Havelock (Swaraj Dweep)	Boat dive	~Rs 6,400	Best reefs, certified divers
Elephant Beach (Havelock)	Shore / DSD	~Rs 3,500 to 4,000	Combo with snorkel trips
Barren Island (liveaboard)	Advanced boat dive	~Rs 22,700	Premium, advanced/certified divers

Scuba Diving Course & Certification Fees in Andaman

If you only want to try diving once, a Discover Scuba (DSD) dive is the cheapest route and needs no certification. If you want to dive independently on future trips, a PADI Open Water course is the better value. Serious divers can go further with Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver and Divemaster. The table below breaks them down.

Experience / course	What it is	Indicative price
Discover Scuba (DSD) shore	No-cert intro dive from the beach	Rs 3,000 to 3,500
Discover Scuba (DSD) boat	No-cert intro dive from a boat	Rs 6,500 to 6,799
Single fun / per dive	For already-certified divers	Rs 2,500 to 6,500
PADI Open Water (certification)	3 to 4 day entry-level licence	~Rs 28,000 + tax
PADI Advanced Open Water	Deeper / specialty dives	~Rs 24,000
PADI Rescue Diver	Emergency-response course	~Rs 19,356 to 24,000
PADI Divemaster	First pro-level qualification	~Rs 50,000 to 85,000
Overall range (all options)	Single dive to full certification	Rs 2,500 to 40,000

What Affects the Scuba Diving Price in Andaman

Six factors move the price up or down. Knowing them helps you compare quotes from different operators fairly:

• Island & dive site: North Bay and Neil shore dives are cheapest; Havelock boat dives at premium reefs cost more.

• Shore dive vs boat dive: boat dives add fuel and crew cost, so they run roughly double a shore dive.

• Discover Scuba vs certification: a one-off DSD is cheapest; a PADI course costs more upfront but lets you dive anywhere later.

• Photos & video: an underwater photo or video package is usually a paid add-on, not included in the base price.

• Season: the Nov to Apr peak season sees higher demand; some operators discount in the May to Sep shoulder.

• Operator & gear: PADI-certified operators with newer gear and smaller groups charge more for safety and quality.

Best Time for Scuba Diving in Andaman (and How Season Affects Price)

The diving season in Andaman runs roughly October to May, with the best underwater visibility (15 to 30 m) from November to April. The southwest monsoon (June to September) brings rough seas and many operators suspend boat dives, though some shore dives at sheltered sites continue. Peak season (Nov to Apr) carries the highest demand and firmest prices; the shoulder months can be slightly cheaper.

How to Book Scuba Diving in Andaman

Book through a PADI-certified operator or as part of an Andaman tour package so transfers, permits and dive slots are arranged for you. Pre-booking is strongly recommended in peak season (Nov to Apr), when popular Havelock sites fill up days ahead. Confirm exactly what your quote includes (gear, instructor, photos or video, and GST) before you pay.

The prices on this page are checked by our Andaman desk against current PADI-operator rate sheets and refreshed for the 2026 season.

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!
