Havelock Island is the crown jewel of Indian scuba diving offering protected shallow reefs for novices and thrilling oceanic drift dives for certified adventurers.
Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island) is globally recognized for crystal-clear turquoise visibility, warm sea temperatures year-round, and dense fringing reefs teeming with tropical life.
The island hosts world-class 5-star PADI and SSI dive centers offering everything from 1-day Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) experiences to comprehensive Open Water Diver certification courses.
Your dive session starts with a 30-minute safety and theory briefing explaining underwater breathing, ear equalisation, and hand signals.
You are then fitted with customized wetsuits, fins, and a scuba unit before entering shallow waist-deep water at Nemo Reef. Once relaxed, your divemaster accompanies you underwater for an exhilarating 35-45 minute glide alongside sea anemones, clownfish, and parrotfish.
Certified divers can embark on dedicated double-tank morning boat dives to legendary deep sites such as Dixon's Pinnacle, Johnny's Gorge, and Minerva Ledge.
Expect encounters with pelagic fish, white-tip reef sharks, giant trevallies, manta rays, and pristine gorgonian fan corals at depths of 18 to 30 meters.
Before booking, complete standard PADI medical questionnaires truthfully. Conditions such as asthma, recent cardiac surgery, or ear canal issues require medical clearance.
Always remember the golden rule of scuba diving: allow a minimum of 18 to 24 hours of surface interval after your last dive before flying home.
