Scuba Dive in Andaman
Scuba diving is diving underwater with the help of an underwater breathing apparatus (scuba), which is completely independent of surface supply, to breathe underwater. This activity is conducted under the supervision of a professional certified Divemaster who accompanies every participant independently.
As a participant of the Introductory Scuba Diving program, you will get to dive underwater in the coral reefs and Marine lives with your Divemaster. You will be required to wear a diving suit and all other equipment will be provided to you. The program includes on-shore training on safety and underwater communication techniques.
While you dive underwater our photographer will take your underwater photographs and small video clips for you to share on social media. The photographs and video clips will be instantly transferred to your smartphone.

Know more
In Andaman Islands there are 10 beautiful islands with more than 40 places to Scuba Dive, the perfect diving experience depends greatly on several factors including:
Water Depth || Clarity of water || Safety || Population of Corals || Fish Population || Water Current || Weather
Choosing a place to dive by considering these factors can be difficult and therefore we have compiled a list of best places for Scuba Diving in Andaman.
1. Havelock Island
2. North Bay Island
3. Neil Island
1. Scuba Dive in Havelock Island
Nemo Reef in Havelock island marks every point on the list for a perfect scuba diving experience and is the best place to dive in Andaman
for both new and experienced divers.
The rich marine life and abundant coral population near the place offers an engaging experience, second to none. The divers are often enclosed with vibrant fishes
and sea dwellers throughout the dive. The perfect blend of clear waters and low water currents makes sure your dive is stress-free and safe.
The beach can be reached by road and has an extensive number of experienced PADI certified scuba providers. The abundance of providers gives you a lot of choices
so you can compare and get the best package for yourself.
"The best thing is, every trip and package which provide by Travelecious Andaman, that includes a visit to Havelock Island, so you don't have to worry about additional travel expenses and time."
2. Scuba Dive in North Bay Island
North Bay is a tiny island located near Ross Island, and is the second best place to dive in Andaman. The island's shoreline offers crystal clear,
blue waters throughout and has a rich population of corals that presents a beautiful diving experience.
The diving prices here are low compared to any other place in Andaman but the boat and transportation costs may pile up, so it's better to pre-book and plan forward.
The island is so small that there is no place for additional sightseeing and exploration, so it's best for people looking for a special diving tour and don't mind spending a complete day for the experience.
3. Scuba Dive in Neil Island
Neil Island is best known for exemplary hotels and resorts, however, it also offers one of the best places for an underwater dive.
Although the water here is not crystal clear, it does offer a fine unique underwater experience with the the preserved marine life and alive corals around the
shoreline and beyond. The water currents are medium and the depth is perfectly safe for an optimal underwater adventure.
One thing to note is- due to low competition and less number of tourists the prices for diving in Neil can be a little high compared to others. We do recommend
diving in Neil if you are unable to visit the above two places.
