From shallow, sheltered clownfish nurseries at Nemo Reef to deep oceanic pinnacles teeming with manta rays at Dixon’s, Andaman offers premier Indian Ocean dive sites.
The Andaman Islands are consistently ranked among South Asia's premier scuba diving destinations. Volcanic sea mounts, coral-covered drop-offs, and shallow fringing lagoons offer conditions suited for novices as well as advanced drift divers.
Selecting the right dive site depends on your certification level, current sea conditions, and the specific marine species you hope to encounter.
Nemo Reef: The most famous beginner dive site in Andaman, featuring shallow depths (5-12m), calm currents, and dense clownfish sea anemone clusters.
Dixon's Pinnacle: An open-sea pinnacle rising from 35 meters, known for giant trevallies, barracudas, manta rays, and green sea turtles (Advanced divers only).
The Wall: A dramatic underwater drop-off dropping to 55 meters with gorgonian sea fans, soft corals, and reef sharks.
Margherita’s Mischief: A sandy channel with massive coral boulders and frequent sightings of dugongs, stingrays, and yellow-tail snappers.
Bus Stop: A gentle sloping reef featuring exceptional coral coverage and tranquil waters ideal for beginner training and underwater photography.
North Bay is the go-to location for tourists staying exclusively in Port Blair who want a convenient introductory scuba dive without taking a ferry to Havelock.
Dive operators always assess daily tides, wind direction, and underwater visibility before choosing your final dive location.
