Why Choose a Shore Dive in Andaman?

Unlike boat dives which can be intimidating for beginners, our Standard Shore Dive removes the stress of deep water and rough waves. You start standing on soft sand in waist-deep water, allowing you to master breathing techniques at your own pace.

Guided by our Certified instructors (strictly 1-on-1 ratio), you will slowly transition from standing to swimming. Before you know it, you’ll be gliding alongside Clownfish (yes, Nemo), navigating through coral arches, and watching schools of Snapper – all at a comfortable depth of 6 to 8 meters. Most of our first-timers come out of the water asking when they can dive again.

Shore Dive vs Boat Dive in Andaman

Wondering whether to pick a shore dive or boat dive? Both are great for beginners – the shore dive at Nemo Reef is calmer, shallower, and ideal if you’re nervous about deep water or seasickness. The boat dive reaches deeper reefs with more diverse marine life. Compare with our boat dive package →

Marine Life at Nemo Reef, Havelock

Nemo Reef is a shallow, sheltered bay with clear water and plenty of marine life close to shore. Because it is protected from strong currents, marine life gathers here in huge numbers.

  • Midnight Snappers: Huge schools of yellow and blue striped fish that swim in synchronized patterns.
  • Parrotfish: Brightly colored, beak-mouthed fish that you can actually hear "crunching" on the coral.
  • The "Ghost" Jeep: A submerged jeep wreck that has now become an artificial reef, teeming with life.
  • Macro Critters: Look closely for tiny transparent cleaner shrimp and porcelain crabs hiding in the rocks.
