Havelock's Best Fun Dive Sites

These are the reefs and pinnacles we dive most around Havelock and across the Andaman Islands. Some are shallow coral gardens, others are deep offshore walls with sharks, rays, and big pelagics.

Standard Sites - ₹3,500 for one dive, ₹6,500 for two

2 km from shore · 10–55m · Low–Moderate current

A dramatic vertical wall plunging to 55+ metres. Massive gorgonian fans, Napoleon wrasse, and excellent macro in the shallows. Famous for octopus mating behaviour.

Short boat · 3–15m · Low current

Tribe Gate

Colourful shallow reef with sea turtles, moray eels, and dense anthias clouds. Excellent for photography and second dives after a deeper morning site.

Short boat · 5–12m · Channel current

Red Pillar

Shallow reef by the red channel marker off Peel Island. Bathtub-sized barrel sponges, a sunken scooter and bicycle covered in coral, stingrays and scorpionfish.

Boat · 8–25m · Low

The Slope & Lighthouse

Gradual slope transitioning from coral gardens to a sandy plateau. Stingrays, barracuda, and resident turtles near the Havelock lighthouse. Excellent for drift practice.

Premium Sites - ₹10,000 for two dives

19 km offshore · 16–35m · Mod–Strong

Dixon's Pinnacle ⭐

Three volcanic pinnacles rising from 35m - the "Holy Trinity" of Andaman diving. Cleaning stations attract manta rays, mobula rays, and occasional whale sharks. Resident Napoleon wrasses and barracuda tornadoes.

18.5 km offshore · 22–30m · Moderate

Johnny's Gorge ⭐

The shark capital of Havelock. Resident white-tip reef sharks - sightings almost guaranteed. Dramatic fish tornadoes of barracuda and snappers swirl above the sandy expanse.

15 km offshore · 18–22m · Low

S.S. Inchkeith Wreck

A 1950s cargo vessel that sank in 1955 - now a thriving artificial reef. Visible propeller, cargo holds, ghost pipefish and nudibranchs. Exceptional for photography.

Jackson's Bar

Eagle rays, large groupers, and schools of snappers in strong current. An exhilarating drift dive for experienced divers. Best in Dec–March when visibility peaks at 30–40m.

A Day in the Life of a Frogman Diver

Our dawn schedule captures peak visibility and marine activity while most of Havelock still sleeps. Here's how a 2-dive day unfolds:

Board the boat as the sun comes up over the Andaman Sea. We pass the uninhabited Peel and Henry Lawrence Islands on the way out to the deep sites.

06:15 AM

First Dive: The Deep Site

Descend into Dixon's Pinnacle or Johnny's Gorge. 45–50 minutes of exploration at depth - pelagics, sharks, and pristine visibility. This is what you came for.

07:30 AM

Surface Interval: Chai & Stories

Relax on deck with hot masala chai, samosas, and fresh coconut water. Swap stories, review photos, and off-gas safely before dive two.

08:30 AM

Second Dive: Shallow Reef

A shallower second dive - Aquarium, Lighthouse, or a drift along The Wall. Extended bottom time for photography and macro hunting.

10:00 AM

Return & Logbook Signing

Back at Frogman base. Rinse gear, sign logbooks, and relive the dives with our team. Photos shared via WhatsApp. Done before lunch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum certification for Dixon's Pinnacle?

Open Water Diver is legally sufficient, but we strongly recommend Advanced Open Water or a minimum of 20 logged dives due to depths up to 35m and potential for strong currents. We assess experience at booking and may recommend alternate sites for newer divers.

Is Nitrox available, and what does it cost?

Yes - Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx 32% or 36%) is available for ₹750 per tank. Highly recommended for deep sites like Dixon's and Johnny's to maximise no-decompression limits. Pre-book 24 hours in advance. Valid Nitrox certification required.

What if I haven't dived in over a year?

Safety first. If it's been over 12 months, we require a Scuba Refresher (₹2,000) before joining a fun dive group. This includes a shallow-water skills review - mask clearing, regulator recovery, buoyancy check - and takes about 2 hours. It can be done the same morning.

Are there really sharks at Johnny's Gorge?

Yes. Johnny's Gorge has resident white-tip reef sharks - sightings are almost guaranteed. Dixon's Pinnacle occasionally sees grey reef sharks, and during peak season (Jan–March) whale sharks make appearances. All sharks here are non-aggressive reef species.

Is equipment rental included in the price?

Yes - all packages include full Scubapro equipment: BCD, regulator, wetsuit, fins, mask, tank, and weights. Divers using their own complete gear set receive a ₹500 discount per dive. Dive computers (₹500/day) and GoPro (₹2,000/day) are optional add-ons.

What is the best time of year for visibility?

October to May is the diving season. Visibility peaks between December and March, often reaching 30–40+ metres at offshore pinnacles. October–November offers good conditions with fewer crowds and better rates. June–September (monsoon) is not recommended.

Can I get private 1:1 guiding?

Our standard packages are 1:4 (one guide to four divers). Private 1:1 guiding is available for an additional ₹2,000 per dive - ideal for underwater photographers who want to focus on specific marine life or those wanting completely personalised attention.

Can I fly immediately after diving?

No. Wait a minimum of 18–24 hours after your last dive before flying to allow for proper nitrogen off-gassing. Plan your dive days accordingly - we recommend diving at least two days before your departure flight.

Shailesh Dyesterday

Our visit to Havelock (Govind nagar Beach) with Frogman for scuba diving and snorkeling was an absolutely amazing experience. Everything was organized very well by Mr. Suchit Sir, who was present throughout the entire experience and made sure we were comfortable and safe at all times.
The team was extremely professional, supportive, and friendly. Safety was clearly their top priority, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Underwater, we saw beautiful corals and a wide variety of colorful fish in the deep sea it was truly a different and unforgettable world.
I sincerely thank the entire Frogman team and everyone who supported us during the activity. I would highly recommend Frogman to anyone visiting for scuba diving or snorkeling. Keep up the great work, guys!
Thank you, Frogman 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸!

 Verified Happy about the decision to do scuba with Frogman
What an experience! We as a family enjoyed every bit of this activity. We did the lighthouse scuba dive. Never had the experience this close with the variety of fishes and corels. Must do while in Havelock and frogman makes scuba diving comfortable and relaxing. Founder Suchit is very professional and the instructors and divers are also very professional. They all know their responsibilities and passion. Neelkant, Ketan, Rubin and other divers were very patient and explained everything (does and don't) underwater. The team really makes u comfortable and tries to push themselves and us for an excellent experience. If time permits, will book this dive again. If not for sure next time.

 Verified Fantastic first experience in scuba diving.
We had a wonderful experience with Frogman. We had Neelkanth and Ketan sir as our diving instructors. It was our first time trying it out. The pre-training was very clear. In the first 10 minutes open sea, I even had a panic reaction, but Neelkanth sir calmly got me to the surface and explained my mistake patiently, and we went back underwater, and it went all superbly well!
