A scuba diver over coral reef in clear tropical water

Havelock Island, Andaman & Nicobar

Thirteen dive sites.
Forty metres of water.

The Andamans sit far enough off the shipping lanes that the reef still behaves like a reef. We teach PADI courses and run fun dives from the shallows off Beach No. 3 out to the offshore pinnacles.

Small groups, local instructors, the same reef every week

We keep ratios low because it is the single thing that most changes how a dive goes — four students to an instructor on courses, and guided groups capped at six on fun dives.

Our instructors dive these sites year-round rather than seasonally. That is why we can tell you the current will turn at Jackson's Bar before it does, and why we will call a dive off when the forecast says so, even after you have paid for it.

Everyone who gets in the water with us completes a medical questionnaire first. If anything on it needs a doctor's sign-off, we will tell you early enough to sort it out on the mainland.

Start where you are

Never breathed underwater, or logged two hundred dives — the ladder runs from a half-day try dive to a full professional season.

All six courses

The reef, shallow to deep

Five minutes from the jetty down to an hour offshore. Which ones you dive depends on the card in your wallet and what the weather is doing.

All thirteen sites
