SCUBA DIVING IN ANDAMAN

decorative divider

The Andaman Islands sit roughly 1,400 km off India’s east coast, surrounded by some of the clearest tropical water in Asia. Underwater visibility regularly hits 25-30 metres between October and May, and the reefs are home to over 1,200 species of fish and 500 species of coral.

Scuba diving in Andaman is accessible to complete beginners and rewarding for experienced divers. Water temperatures stay between 26-29°C year-round, so a 3mm shorty wetsuit is all you need. Whether you are planning your first breath underwater or your hundredth dive, the Andaman Islands are hard to beat for diving.

Why Havelock Island is the Best Place for Scuba Diving in Andaman

Havelock Island (officially Swaraj Dweep) has the highest concentration of quality dive sites in the Andaman archipelago. Within a 20-minute boat ride, you can reach over a dozen sites — from shallow coral gardens for beginners to deep walls and pinnacles for advanced divers. Reef sharks, manta rays, turtles, and schools of barracuda are regular sightings here.

Frogman Adventures has been diving these waters daily for years. We know which sites are best on which tides, where the turtles feed, and when the mantas pass through. If you are diving in Andaman, Havelock is where to start.

  • Prime Location (Andaman)We take you to exclusive spots like Nemo Reef and The Wall, where the marine life is hard to beat.

    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 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸!

Lighthouse scuba diving experience It was a great experience. Instructors were patient enough to explain everything thoroughly. The divers also made us feel comfortable underwater and kept checking on us to see if all was okay. They showed beautiful scenic views. We enjoyed it very much. Would definitely recommend to others.

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.

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!

Best Scuba Experience with Frogman It would highly recommend this business to go without any hesitation. We were 3 people and each one had 1 instructor with them. We got a 5 min training before the dive and then explored the underwater world. Saw fishes and corals and safety was well taken care off.

Frequently Asked Questions About Scuba Diving in Andaman

decorative divider

What is the age limit for scuba diving in Andaman?

Minimum age for a try dive is 10 years: shallow-water practice up to 5 m, then an open-water dive up to 12 m. Children aged 8 and 9 can do the RAID Try Dive Cadet in shallow water only, up to 2 m. There is no upper age limit. Everyone fills in a medical form, and you only need a doctor’s sign-off if you answer yes to any medical question. For RAID certification courses, the minimum age is 10 for Junior Open Water and 15 for the regular Open Water course.

Can non-swimmers do scuba diving in Andaman?

Yes, absolutely. You do not need to know how to swim for a Try Scuba Diving experience. Your instructor stays with you the entire time, controls your buoyancy, and guides you through the dive at a 1:1 ratio. Around half of our guests at Frogman are non-swimmers, and they enjoy it just as much. We start with a pool-like briefing session so you are completely comfortable before entering the sea.

What is the best time for scuba diving in Andaman?

The best season for scuba diving in Andaman runs from October to May. Visibility peaks between December and April, often reaching 30 metres or more. The monsoon season (June to September) brings rough seas and most dive centres close during this period. If you want the best conditions, plan your trip between November and March — the water is calm, clear, and marine life is very active.

How much does scuba diving cost in Andaman?

At Frogman Adventures, a shore dive starts at Rs. 3,500, a boat dive at Red Pillar is Rs. 4,000, and a full Try Scuba Diving experience starts at Rs. 3,500. RAID Open Water certification is Rs. 29,000. Every price is inclusive of GST. All our prices include free pickup and drop from your hotel in Havelock, free underwater photos and videos, full gear, and a certified RAID instructor. There are no hidden charges — the price you see is the price you pay. See the full scuba diving price list for Havelock.

Which island is best for scuba diving in Andaman?

Havelock Island is the best island for scuba diving in Andaman, hands down. It has the most dive sites (over 15), the best infrastructure, and the most experienced dive operators. Neil Island has a few decent spots, and North Bay near Port Blair offers basic intro dives, but for serious diving — whether you are a beginner or certified — Havelock is where you want to be.

What is the difference between snorkeling and scuba diving in Andaman?

Snorkeling keeps you on the surface, breathing through a tube while looking down at shallow reefs. Scuba diving takes you 6-18 metres below the surface with a breathing tank, where you swim among the corals, see larger marine life, and experience the reef up close. In Andaman, snorkeling shows you maybe 20% of what is down there. Scuba diving shows you the rest — the turtles, reef sharks, giant groupers, and the deeper coral formations that you simply cannot see from the surface.

How to book scuba diving in Andaman?

You can book directly with Frogman Adventures by calling +91 9531853676 or messaging us on WhatsApp at +91 9531924029. We recommend booking at least a few days in advance during peak season (December-February) as slots fill up quickly. No advance payment is needed — just confirm your date and show up. We handle pickup from your Havelock hotel, all gear, and the full experience.

How deep do you go for scuba diving in Andaman?

For a Try Scuba Diving experience, you dive to a maximum depth of 12 metres, which is the industry standard for introductory dives. Certified Open Water divers can go to 18 metres, and Advanced Open Water divers can reach 30 metres. Most of the best marine life in Andaman sits between 8-18 metres, so even a first-time dive puts you where the good stuff is.

What should I wear for scuba diving in Andaman?

Wear a swimsuit or comfortable clothes you do not mind getting wet. We provide full dive gear including a wetsuit, BCD, regulator, mask, and fins. Avoid wearing jewellery or anything loose that could fall off underwater. Bring a change of clothes and a towel for after the dive. We have shower and locker facilities at our dive centre so you can freshen up before heading out.

Is scuba diving open in Andaman right now?

Scuba diving in Andaman operates from October to May each year. During the monsoon months (June to September), the sea conditions are too rough and dive centres shut down. If you are visiting between October and May, diving is available daily, weather permitting. We run morning and afternoon dive sessions seven days a week during the season.

Can I get scuba certified in Andaman?

Yes. Frogman Adventures runs internationally recognised RAID certification courses. You can complete your RAID Open Water certification in Andaman over 3-4 days, which includes classroom sessions, confined water practice, and four open water dives. Your certification is valid worldwide and never expires. We also offer Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver courses for those who want to go further. It is also one of the more affordable places in the world to get certified.

What are the best dive sites in Andaman?

Havelock has over 15 mapped dive sites. Our favourites include Nemo Reef (great for beginners, full of clownfish and corals), Johnny’s Gorge (dramatic rock formations, reef sharks, and big schools of fish), Dixon’s Pinnacle (an advanced site with strong currents and pelagic species), The Wall (a vertical drop-off that goes beyond 40 metres), and the SS Inchkeith (a WWII-era shipwreck). We pick the best site each day based on conditions and your experience level.

What are the scuba diving packages available in Andaman?

Frogman Adventures offers several options: Shore Dive at Rs. 3,500 (beach entry, ideal for first-timers), Boat Dive at Red Pillar for Rs. 4,000 (deeper site, richer marine life), Try Scuba Diving from Rs. 3,500 (full intro course with certificate), and RAID Open Water certification at Rs. 29,000 (3-4 day course, internationally valid). All prices are inclusive of GST. All packages include hotel pickup and drop, full equipment, a dedicated RAID instructor, and free underwater photos and videos.

What is the difference between shore diving and boat diving in Andaman?

Shore diving means you walk into the water from the beach and dive at a nearby reef. It is simpler, quicker, and a good starting point for nervous first-timers. Boat diving takes you further offshore to deeper, more pristine sites that you cannot reach from shore — the coral is healthier, the fish are bigger, and you are more likely to see turtles, rays, and reef sharks. At Frogman, our boat dive at Red Pillar is our most popular option because the site is spectacular and it feels like a proper dive.
