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 |
| Neil Island (Bharatpur) | Neil (Shaheed Dweep) | Calm, clear shallows, gentle reef dives | Beginner |
| The Wall | Havelock | Sloping reef wall, gorgonians and reef sharks | Certified |
| Barracuda City | Havelock | Schools of barracuda, larger pelagic fish | Certified |
| Johnny's Gorge | Havelock (offshore) | Marquee site: rays, groupers, reef sharks, high fish density | Advanced |
| Dixon's Pinnacle | Havelock (offshore) | Deep pinnacle, big schools and strong marine life | Advanced |
| Corruption Rock | Chidiya Tapu, off Port Blair | Rocky reef, soft coral and macro life near the southern tip | Certified |
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.

FAQs About Andaman Scuba Diving Tour Packages
How much does scuba diving in Andaman cost?
Scuba diving in Andaman starts at around ₹3,500 for a beginner Discover Scuba dive (no certification needed), while a single fun dive for certified divers is roughly ₹2,000–₹3,000. A full PADI Open Water certification course costs about ₹22,000 and runs 3–4 days. For a complete price breakdown by dive type, see our scuba diving in Andaman cost guide.
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. Non-swimmers who would rather stay shallow can also try Sea Walk, a helmet walk on the seabed. Both are popular with first-timers and families.
Which is the best place for scuba diving in Andaman?
Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) is the main diving base, with popular sites like Elephant Beach and Nemo Reef. Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) offers calm, clear shallows ideal for first dives, and North Bay near Port Blair has easy coral gardens with quick boat access. Beginners usually dive at Havelock or North Bay.
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. You only need a PADI Open Water (or equivalent) certification if you want to dive independently or on deeper sites. The PADI Open Water course takes about 3–4 days and can be added to a package.
What is the best time for scuba diving in Andaman?
March to May is the best window, when the sea is calmest and underwater visibility is highest. The broader diving season runs October to May; June to September brings rougher seas and lower visibility, so diving is more limited. Book the calm-water months for the clearest reefs.
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, so the dive, the logistics and the trip all sit in one customisable quote. Each card lists exactly which dives and activities are included before you book.
