Scuba diving in Andaman is one of the best diving experiences in India! You can swim across not only beautiful and colourful corals and fishes, but you can also come across various other marine species like Humphead Parrotfish, Whitebanded Shrimps, Peacock Mantis Shrimps, Giant Morays, Manta Rays, and countless others. And, you can always have snaps clicked with all of these via special cameras to show off on social media!
Andaman brings enough opportunities for every kind of diver – beginner, intermediate, and expert. There is a lot to explore at the splendid islands of the Andaman archipelago for every kind of diver. But, even more, amazing is the deeper oceanic world if one dares to go deeper to the extreme levels of scuba diving! However, this challenge should be accepted only by diving professionals.
If you are not a swimmer, yet want to experience scuba diving, well done! Because not many have the courage to do so. But, to encourage such people, Andaman has several centers that offer PADI certificates and plenty of diving sites that are safe for beginners. There are many experienced and PADI-certified instructors who can guide divers into the sea and to go deep down. However, scuba diving should not be done by people with heart ailments, or high/low hypertension, or even pregnant women.

Special diving experiences in Andaman
Other than the normal scuba diving activities at the island, there are two other special scuba diving experiences you can explore if you are looking for more thrill and excitement. These are deep diving and night diving.
Deep diving – Although scuba diving in itself is deep down the waters, but it is generally limited to 20-25 meters from the water surface. Deep diving goes beyond 30 meters from the surface to help divers explore deeper marine life and coral reefs along with long lost parts of sunken wrecks. If this is what you want to experience, you need to go to Havelock Island, Neil Island, or Wandoor.
Night diving – Scuba diving is generally done during early mornings when the sun shines brightly. But, a once-in-a-lifetime experience is the night diving opportunity you can get at Andaman! Going deep down the waters during the night makes the activity even more mysterious and thrilling, taking one into a completely differently transformed world. Lighthouse at Havelock Island offers the best night diving experience, where you can explore both hard and soft corals, and Humpback Parrotfish, Lobsters, Octopus, Lionfish, and Fusiliers. However, you need to be a professional of advanced scuba diving if you want to opt for night diving.
