Scuba diving in Andaman is suitable for both beginners and experienced divers. Introductory dives are available for travelers with little or no previous diving experience, subject to the applicable age, health and operator requirements.

If you are comparing different marine activities, visit our guide to the best water sports activities in Andaman.
The best place for scuba diving depends on your experience level, itinerary, weather conditions and the type of dive you want. Havelock Island, Neil Island and North Bay Island are among the key diving destinations featured by Andaman Ocean.
Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep) is one of the most popular destinations for scuba diving in Andaman. It offers options for beginners as well as certified divers, with popular diving areas and different types of shore and boat diving experiences.
Beginner-friendly experiences may include locations such as Nemo Reef, while certified divers can choose deeper or more specialized dive sites depending on qualifications and operator availability.

North Bay Island is a convenient choice for travelers staying in Port Blair. The island is accessible by boat and offers several marine activities, including scuba diving, snorkeling, sea walking and glass-bottom boat experiences.
North Bay is particularly useful for travelers who have limited time and want to enjoy an underwater activity without moving to another island.
Explore the North Bay Island tour or see the North Bay Island Tour by Boat.
Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) offers a relaxed island experience with coral-rich waters and marine activities. Scuba diving is available around selected areas, including Bharatpur Beach, depending on current operator and sea conditions.
Bharatpur Beach is also known for other marine experiences such as snorkeling and glass-bottom boat rides.
You do not necessarily need previous diving experience to try an introductory scuba dive in Andaman. Beginner programmes normally include a safety briefing, basic instructions and supervised underwater experience.
Beginner diving depth and underwater duration depend on the activity centre, location, sea conditions and participant comfort.
Some introductory scuba diving programmes are available for non-swimmers or people with limited swimming experience, subject to the operator’s current requirements and the participant’s comfort and ability to follow instructions.
Non-swimmers should always inform the dive operator before booking. The instructor can explain whether the selected programme is appropriate and what safety requirements apply.
If you are uncomfortable with diving, you can also consider Sea Walking in Andaman, which provides an underwater marine experience without conventional scuba diving.
The scuba diving price in Andaman varies according to the island, type of dive, duration, season, operator and package inclusions. Introductory shore dives are generally less expensive than boat dives or advanced diving experiences.
Because scuba diving rates can change according to season and operator availability, confirm the current price and inclusions before making your booking.

Most essential scuba equipment is provided by the dive centre as part of the selected activity package.
If scuba diving is not suitable for you, Andaman has several other ways to experience its marine environment.

Andaman is known for its diverse marine life, and you can expect to see a variety of fish, turtles, sharks, rays, octopuses, and colorful coral reefs during your dive.
Yes, scuba diving in Andaman is safe, as long as you follow the instructions of the dive instructor and take necessary precautions.
There are various scuba diving courses available in Andaman, ranging from beginner level courses like Discover Scuba Diving to advanced courses like Rescue Diver and Divemaster.
The maximum depth for scuba diving in Andaman is usually around 30 meters, but it may vary depending on the location and dive center policies.

You should avoid drinking alcohol before a dive because it can impair your judgment, slow your reaction time, and make it difficult to concentrate. Additionally, alcohol can cause dehydration, which can increase the risk of decompression sickness.
You should wait at least 24 hours before flying after diving because during a dive, your body absorbs nitrogen which can form bubbles in your blood and tissues. Flying can cause a rapid decrease in air pressure, which can cause these bubbles to expand and result in decompression sickness. Waiting 24 hours allows your body enough time to eliminate excess nitrogen before flying
