About Purple Haze snorkeling

Purple Haze is a sloping reef on the west coast of Havelock named for its soft purple corals and sea fans. The upper reef sits close enough to the surface to snorkel over, with fusiliers moving across it in loose schools.

You snorkel straight off the boat at the mooring for 30 to 40 minutes. On the guided rate your guide stays in the water with you and carries a GoPro the whole time; you get 20 photos and 2 videos sent to your phone before you leave.

FAQs

Yes. Book the guided rate: we give you a life vest that holds you at the surface with no effort, and your guide is in the water beside you for the whole session.

Guided (₹3,500) means your guide is in the water with you the whole time, which is what non-swimmers and first-timers need. The swimmer rate (₹3,000) is for people confident in open water; your guide stays on the boat and you snorkel with the group. Both include the same gear, boat and GoPro photos.

The speedboat to Purple Haze and back; mask, snorkel and fins; a life jacket if you need one; your guide; and 20 GoPro photos plus 2 videos sent to your phone.

Snorkeling keeps you at the surface floating over the reef. Scuba puts you underwater with tanks and a regulator. If you want to go below the surface at Purple Haze, see our Purple Haze Scuba option.

Ages 8 and above at boat sites. Kids under 12 need a parent or guardian in the water with them. We fit child-sized masks and fins at the jetty.

Budget around 2.5 to 3 hours including the boat: the briefing at the jetty, the ride out, 30 to 40 minutes in the water, and the ride back.

Yes. The ₹3,500 is inclusive of GST, so the amount you see is the amount you pay. Your invoice shows the breakdown.
