Scuba Diving is a great way to explore the beautiful underwater marine life. Swim among schools of fish, admire the beautiful corals and enjoy the serenity of underwater life.

The coral reefs and under water formation are untouched by human activities. The best season for diving is from December to May.

Havelock Island, Neil Island and Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park - Wandoor, are the popular places for Scuba Diving in Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Hundreds of colourful varieties of coral reef fishes can be seen in the park. Other than these, Cinque Island, Rutland Island, and Snake Island are the some important places where one can experience the rich marine life.
