About Lighthouse snorkeling

Lighthouse is on the western side of Havelock, a 10–15 minute speedboat ride away. The reef top starts at about 3 metres, so the coral and fish are right under you from the moment you put your face in the water. The channel is sheltered and currents are usually light.

You snorkel straight off the boat at the mooring for 30–40 minutes. Your guide stays in the water with you and carries a GoPro the whole time. You'll get 20 photos and 2 videos sent to your phone on WhatsApp.

Total Duration
2.5–3 hours (including the boat)
Time in Water
30–40 minutes
Depth
Reef top 3 m
Visibility
15–25 m in season
Difficulty
Confident swimmer (vest for non-swimmers)
Access
Boat, 10–15 min ride

GoPro included. Your guide carries the GoPro the whole session. 20 photos and 2 videos sent to your phone on WhatsApp. No add-ons to select.

Snorkeling vs scuba. Snorkeling keeps you at the surface looking down through clear water. Scuba puts you underwater with tanks and regulator. If you want to go below the surface at this site, see our Lighthouse Scuba option.

What's included

Speedboat to the reef, guide in the water with you, all your gear, and the GoPro content. That's the session. No add-ons to pick from.

  • Snorkeling mask, snorkel and fins, fitted at our dive centre
  • Life jacket or buoyancy vest (required for non-swimmers)
  • Guide in the water with you throughout
  • 20 GoPro photos and 2 videos, sent to your phone
  • Safety briefing (hand signals, breathing, how to clear your snorkel)

Bring

  • Swimwear to wear under or instead of a wetsuit
  • Towel and a dry change of clothes
  • Reef-safe sunscreen only (regular sunscreen damages coral)
  • Water to drink before and after

Not included

  • Food or drinks

How the session runs

Step 1 · 15 min

Step 2 · boat ride

Short speedboat out to the Lighthouse mooring. Sea is usually calm through the peak season.
Step 3 · 30–40 min
In the water
Step off the boat at the mooring with your guide. Float the reef top, guide points things out and takes your GoPro shots. You stay at the surface the whole time.
Step 4 · after
Back to shore
Towels on, quick ride back, and your GoPro photos and videos (20 photos, 2 videos) shared to your phone on WhatsApp.

Age and health: Ages 8 and up at boat sites. Kids under 12 need a parent or guardian in the water. Not suitable if you've got an active ear infection on the day. Pregnant guests should check with their doctor before joining.

What you'll see from the surface

Lighthouse's reef top sits right in the snorkel zone, so most of what divers see at this site is also visible to you from above. Anything on the deeper sections (usually 8 m+) is listed too but generally needs scuba to see up close.

Usually spotted from the surface

  • The coral garden. Acropora, brain, plate corals, soft coral patches and big barrel sponges, all visible from the surface at the reef top.
  • Reef fish schools. Fusiliers, unicornfish, surgeonfish and snappers move over the reef in loose schools. Easy to track from above.
  • Anemones with clownfish. Anemones scattered across the reef top, clownfish sitting in them.
  • Butterflyfish and angelfish. Pairs and small groups working across the coral.

Also seen regularly

  • Green turtles. Pass through the site, most often between February and April.
  • Parrotfish. Large, colourful, audible when they're feeding on coral.
  • Triggerfish. Curious, they often come close to check you out.
  • Trevally. Fast hunters along the reef edge.
  • Bannerfish. Common in small schools.

Snorkeling view

The shallow reef top sits in full natural light, so you're looking down at the reef from above. Anemones and clownfish at the reef top are easy to watch from directly overhead; they don't hide from snorkelers.

  • Anemones look like big pulsing clusters of colour from above
  • Clownfish are easy to follow; they stay in their anemone
  • Sandy patches between coral heads are visible too, good for spotting rays
  • Fish schools above the reef stand out clearly against the reef
  • On clear days you can see structure down to the reef slope below

What you need scuba for

The deeper sections, crevice-dwellers and anything in the shade of an overhang are diver territory. For that, see our Lighthouse Scuba option.

About Lighthouse

Lighthouse is on the western side of Havelock, a 10–15 minute speedboat ride away. The reef top starts at about 3 metres, so the coral and fish are right under you from the moment you put your face in the water. The channel is sheltered and currents are usually light.

Location

  • Site: Lighthouse, off Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep)
  • GPS: 12.049° N, 92.964° E
  • Distance: 2.5–3 km west of jetty
  • Access: Boat, 10–15 min ride
  • Boat entry, not shore entry

Conditions

  • Current: Usually light, under 0.5 knots
  • Visibility: 15–25 m in season
  • Water temperature: 26–30°C year-round
  • Swell: Minimal during peak season

Best time to come

  • November to April
  • Morning slots give the best light for underwater colour and the GoPro shots
  • Shoulder months are quieter with still-good visibility
  • June to September is monsoon. The site can be inaccessible on rough days; check before booking

Reef zones

0–3 m Reef top, snorkel zone. Coral and fish right below you
3–10 m Upper reef with fusiliers, unicornfish, turtles; visible on clear days
10–18 m Reef slope, coral gardens and bigger groupers (diver depth)
18–23 m Sandy bottom (scuba only, not visible from the surface)

Why pick Lighthouse

It's the same reef the divers use, viewed from the surface without any of the training or kit. The shallow top means the clownfish, big sponges and coral sit right below your fins. A calm morning with good light and a turtle or two passing through is about as good as it gets on this coast.

FAQs

Yes. We give you a life vest that holds you at the surface with no effort, and your guide is in the water with you the whole session. A lot of first-time snorkelers at this site can't swim at all.

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

Nemo Reef is a shore-entry site at Beach No. 2. You walk in from the sand, no boat. Lighthouse is a boat-entry site: short speedboat ride out, snorkel from the mooring. Same gear, same GoPro package. If you want the simplest option, pick Nemo Reef. If you want to snorkel one of the named offshore reefs, pick Lighthouse.

Snorkeling keeps you at the surface floating over the reef. Scuba puts you underwater with tanks and a regulator, so you can move through the reef instead of looking at it from above. If you want to go below the surface at Lighthouse, see our Lighthouse 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 our dive centre.

Budget around 2 hours (including the boat). That's the briefing at our dive centre, the boat out, 30–40 minutes in the water, and the ride back. Morning slots get the best light and usually the calmest water.

Yes. The ₹4,500 is inclusive of GST, so the amount you see is the amount you pay. Your invoice shows the breakdown.

    I was extremely scared being a non swimmer, but I ended up enjoying scuba diving in Andaman for non swimmers with Frogman, and it turned out to be amazing. I knew I was in good hands. Just follow the instructions they give and keep calm. They suggested lighthouse to me and it was the best. Go with Frogman for an amazing and safe experience.

  • Vineeth Muthannatoday

    We went to the Light house point. Saw a very different world. Learnt a new skill. Enjoyed ! Must do activity in Andaman. They have professional divers to train and take you down. Just follow the simple instructions they will take care of everything else.

  • Jyothsna sri Neerukondatoday

    They explained everything clearly and made us feel comfortable. We visited Havelock and Frogman's service was just right.

  • Avinash Nathalayesterday

    My scuba diving experience was nothing short of special, and a huge part of that is thanks to the incredible instructors at Frogman. They were attentive, encouraging, and made sure safety was the top priority while keeping the vibe relaxed and fun. If you're planning on scuba diving in Andaman, you're in the best possible hands with this crew!

  • Chaynika Tanejayesterday

    Had an amazing experience with Frogman!, Suchith the owner, personally welcomed us and accompanied us, ensuring everything went smoothly. Ketan was my diver throughout the experience and was absolutely fantastic at making a non-swimmer like me feel safe, comfortable, and confident underwater. His professionalism and patience made all the difference! A special thanks to Kavya for capturing some wonderful pictures of this unforgettable experience. A friendly, professional, and supportive team. Highly recommend Frogman, especially for first-time divers and non-swimmers!

  • Siddhi Ruparelia2 days ago

    Fantastic experience doing the Neil’s Cove forest walk and sunset kayaking. Extremely friendly and accommodative people at Frogman. Highly recommended.

  • aakansha vyas2 days ago

    We had an amazing scuba diving experience! The package included pick-up and drop-off from our hotel, all the necessary diving gear, and a wetsuit, making the entire experience very convenient.
    Before the dive, the team provided proper training in shallow water, explaining underwater communication signals, breathing techniques, and how to handle any issues that might arise underwater. This helped us feel more comfortable and prepared.
    The divers were extremely supportive, patient, and helpful throughout the experience. I experienced some ear pain during the dive, and my dive instructor was very understanding and patiently helped me equalise the pressure in my ears, which I really appreciated.
    Underwater, we got to see a beautiful variety of corals and colourful fish. The experience was truly mesmerising and something we will remember for a long time!
    Another great part was that the team clicked plenty of underwater pictures and videos, all included in the package, so we could take home some wonderful memories.
    Overall, a fantastic experience with a professional, supportive, and friendly team. Highly recommended for anyone looking to try scuba diving!

👍 Great 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 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸!

Blissful experience in the forest It was good to walk with Naturalist Kailash to the secret beach as he passionately explained the life around the forest 🫶. He also carried binoculars to spot birds of the forest and we were joyful to listen to many bird sounds and spot a beautiful one

Best for Solo women travellers!!! Just got back from my first dive with Frogman and I can't say enough good things about the whole experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming and patient with me as a beginner, making sure I felt comfortable and confident the entire time. I'm already planning my next trip back because these guys really know how to make diving fun and accessible.

Magical experience Just to give a little context why i felt what i felt, so it start way back ten years ago when i as going in swimming pool near my house and i had near death experience as i didn’t know how to swim and i was trying in deep water, so this time naturally i was so afraid to go in the sea and before this i had already tried this scuba diving in Gili island, Bali and at that time also i couldn’t do it though i took the training but eventually i said no to go with them in the ocean. This time also i was more afraid rather but all you need is a hand of someone who will tell you that you can do it don’t worry. So this piece is being taken care by my girlfriend too needless to say but there was one scuba instructor ( Mr. Ketan) special thanks to him, he did an amazing job- he told me at the start don’t think too much as i was panicking at the time of training session and he gave me good 10 minutes to do the practice afterward i was little reluctant to go in the sea again i was this close to say that i would not be able to do this time as well, but i didn’t say anything rather i and my gf went with these guys and then we took a dive and when i was floating at the surface only then he told me that lets do it again, afterwards he took me inside but not that deep just to make me feel comfortable with the water first and then suddenly when i started looking allover in the ocean there were different different type of fish and other mammals it was worth to watch, just want to say this that he held me in there throughout and when i started swimming and got comfortable then i was doing alone too without his help but still he didn’t let me go out of his sight. So yeah it was an amazing experience as the water was crystal clear, mesmerising views underwater, felt like i was flying in there as it becomes so light weight once you start enjoying it and most importantly one item off my bucket list. Also these scuba instructors are well behaved, well mannered, and well spoken too.

Excellent experience Frogman absolutely exceeded my expectations from start to finish. The team was incredibly welcoming and professional, and diving in those crystal clear waters surrounded by such stunning marine life and beautiful coral reefs was truly unforgettable. The location is perfect and everything about the center, from the equipment to the staff, made me feel safe and completely at ease the whole time.
