Best Scuba diving in Andaman

Scuba Diving in Andaman is a popular pastime for tourists who want to explore the majestic underwater world. Andaman is quite famous for being home to an exquisite coral reef, and colorful schools of fish of every size and shape. Due to the absence of predatory fish near the beaches and coral reefs, it is a safe place to go scuba diving. Novices, as well as experts, can easily enjoy an underwater trip here, but they have to be certified first as well as accompanied by a guide.

There are special scuba diving centers and training institutes that offer a credible training program to those who haven’t ever been diving. A certificate is provided to the successful candidates on completion of the course, after which they can enjoy scuba diving easily. The course also offers information about emergency skills and various necessary diving practices. The best place for scuba diving in Andaman is Havelock Island, where recreational diving as well as professional diving is undertaken on a regular basis. Other spots that could be great to enjoy a bout of scuba diving include Barracuda City, Mac Point, Margherita’s Mischief, Wandoor Island and North Point in Cinque Island. Some of these spots are pretty remote, so make sure that you get all necessary gear and a guide with you from the get go. The diverse marine life and colorful corals await your arrival in Andaman, promising to show you a magical and unbelievable world.

Chirag's 7 days trip to Andaman

We had a family vacation at the start of the month; skeptically we booked Andamans fearing about the monsoons, but Travel Triangle and the perfectly chosen partner Pearl Andaman assured me that we will not face any issues weather wise and it will be a great experience to travel during the first week of June. Trusting them we planned our tour, and it was a great experience - starting from Rohan at TT and Shivani from Pearl Andaman - they had been very courteous, helpful and patient. They meticulously planned our travel, taking care of all our needs, booking right hotels and right rooms to accommodate my family. The cab and its drivers were amazing as well - knowledgeable about the place and talked about its history - so were the tour coordinators of both Swaraj and Saheed Dweep. The water activities they suggested and where to do those saved a lot of money as well. I almost missed to mention the ferry services - they booked the best in business for us. :) Big thumps for both TT team and Pearl Andaman team - Thank you so much for everything

Aditi's 5 days trip to Andaman

We had an incredible experience on our trip to the Andaman Islands, all thanks to our agent (Anita) who meticulously planned and coordinated everything. The first two days were quite hectic as we covered major tourist attractions, but it was well worth it. The following four days were gentle and relaxing, providing a perfect balance to our vacation. My mother absolutely loved the trip and even tried scuba diving and other water sports, which was a highlight for her. Although we encountered a few hiccups with the hotel cleanliness on Neil Island, these issues were promptly addressed after I spoke with the manager. Overall, the trip was seamless, with everything running on time and as planned. We are grateful for the agent’s efforts in ensuring we had a memorable experience. I highly recommend their services for anyone looking to explore the Andaman Islands.

Alamshaazia's 9 days trip to Andaman

The trip was organised well but initially we had to keep following up for our trip details, the local travel agent did not connect once we landed. But after that it was a smooth ride all through. There was some miscommunication later on our itinerary, all this was upsetting but it was sorted. Most of the things we asked for during the trip was promptly resolved. Even for the cancelled elephanta trip we were informed that the refund of the boat tickets will be done soon. The hotel rooms had some issues like no handwash at both the hotels, damaged electric kettle at Havelock beach resort and in one room the geyser and the hair dryer was not working. But overall it was a well organised trip.

Kalyan's 6 days trip to Andaman

Overall good n can be satisfied...drivers n cabs n timings n tickets were all good and accurate.I wish I had a better hotel in Neil. The hotel given to us at Neil (sandy ridge)was just average..the rooms were smelly n even the shower did not work and they had rusted taps which were jammed n hard to open n close...the hotel garden was not maintained. Good coordination by travel agent...all went as planned. good behaviour of drivers--one of the driver at havlock helped me by bringing me a Bday cake for my daughter.
