Because Water >>> Land
When your days begin with boat rides, great dives, and conversations that start with “Did you see that too?”, everything else fades to the background. The list of dive sites is long and ever-growing. So, dive twice a day, maybe thrice! Want to witness how the reef changes after dark? Try a night dive. Prefer longer bottom time? Nitrox has you covered. The intent is simple – to dive as many sites as you can, and make the best of what the Andaman Sea has to offer. That said, the plan depends on weather and water conditions, and thus, the schedule for each day is finalised only the previous evening, after a quick chat with the Ocean Gods and our Boat Captains.Rest assured, diving in the Andamans is worth the wait! Just show up, and the sea takes care of the rest.

I’d have to cancel my trip. What’s the refund policy?
- Here’s the fine print:
- Cancel 2 weeks before, and you get a full refund.
- A week before? 50% back.
- Under a week? No refund, sadly.
- But, plans (a.k.a. Life) can be messy, chaotic, or somewhere in between. Worry not, reach out! We’ll tailor a fair solution.
How many people will be diving with me?
- We like to keep it small. For fun dives, the dive guide-to-diver ratio is 1:4.
- But that doesn’t mean we won’t set sail with fewer dive buddies on the boat. We do. There is always a group finning!
Can I bring my own gear? I have a dive computer/mask/BCD/fins…
- Absolutely! Make sure to carry it all to the centre when you first arrive. Our team will help pack it up in a kit bag for you.
- In case you forgot to pack anything, fret not! Our gear armoury – in the dive centre and the retail store – is stocked with everything you need.
What happens if the weather is bad on my scheduled dive days?
- Safety first, bubbles later! If the conditions aren’t ideal, we’ll reschedule and find a better window.
- And trust us, diving in the Andaman Sea is worth the wait.
- Also, weather-related dive cancellations are never charged.
What is the water temperature in the Andamans? Will I need a wetsuit?
- Water temperatures average between 27-29°C all year round.
- Most divers like to flex their cool rashguards & funky board-shorts here. If you do prefer a wetsuit or don’t like chilly thermoclines, we’re happy to provide one that fits.
- P.S.: In wetsuits, we have shorties. In case you prefer full ones, check with our Reservations Team for availability.
Which island is better for diving? Havelock or Neil?
- Honestly, we have never been able to pick a favourite, because both are breathtakingly beautiful!
- In terms of marine life, every site in the Andaman Sea is full of rewarding surprises!
- As far as land life goes, Havelock is the extroverted sibling; it is bigger and busier. Neil is the introverted one; she is quiet in her demeanour but hides some mesmerising secrets.
ITINERARY
What is the best time to dive in the Andamans?
All year round, dictated only by the Ocean’s moods (a.k.a. winds, tides & currents).
Been here? Dived it all? Wondering what’s next?
Switch to dives driven by curiosity, i.e. Exploration Dives! Where surprises are likely, and certainty takes a backseat.
I heard there’s an active volcano here…
Yes, the legendary Barren Island! If you want to log the dives only the chosen few get to, talk to us!
