Scuba Diving in Andaman and Nicobar Islands is a 100% must do experience. Andaman is a great diving location. The ocean reminds us to be present and that we are small in the grand scheme of things. I think it’s important to practice mindfulness when visiting the ocean to get the most out of the experience. Be aware of the sounds and sights around you.
Watch the corals sway and the fish dance with the surges of the water. Get lost in the colourful busy movements of the reef, or the vastness of the deep blue. Let your everyday stress disappear and feel the sense of calmness and awe that the ocean pours over you.

Scuba Diving, in definition, is the act of existing underwater with a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA), basically, an activity where you stay underwater for a long time using special equipment and an oxygen tank. The setup requires technical help so you can’t just bring in your swim suit and a tank to do it. You need expert dive masters. And that’s why you need to book a slot with them to do scuba diving.
This is a difficult question to answer because they’re all beautiful! But there are a few differences that may help you pick a dive spot that’s perfect for you.
Havelock is hands-down the most popular dive destination on the islands.
Neil Island is no less, in fact, it is more.
If you are on a short trip, then you should skip Neil Island altogether and choose to do your dives at Havelock or at Port Blair.
Note: We are currently not offering Shore Dives. But don’t be discouraged, Boat Dives are always more fun and the underwater world is always richer.
If you have any questions or doubts at all, don’t hesitate to call or text us! You can also book a call with us.
Here are some differences between each type of dive to help you make an informed decision:
Shore Dive | Boat Dive |
Dive at the beautiful reef at Beach No. 2 | Dive off a boat at a picturesque location close to Havelock |
Great for beginners who may be mildly uncomfortable in the water | Perfect for beginners who are fully comfortable in the water |
Due to its immense popularity, this spot can get a little crowded around high and peak seasons | An exclusive experience at more secluded spots |

Once you are confident, and ready to dive…
We work with the best dive shops in the Andamans and they get booked out pretty quickly, sometimes a month or two in advance. If you decide to book after you arrive at the Andamans, chances are that you may have to dive with a mediocre dive shop which can dilute the entire experience. So secure your spot now and even if you change your mind, we will give a full refund 24-hour before the trip.
It’s absolutely safe provided you do this with a certified dive-master and do this activity from a PADI-certified dive center. Go2andaman works with only PADI 5 Certified Dive Shops/Resorts.
