Overview for Andaman Scuba Diving Package

The Andaman Islands hold some of the finest accessible scuba diving in Asia — reef walls, coral gardens, schools of barracuda at depth, sea turtles on the sandy bottom between dive sites and pelagic fish in the open water passages between the islands. Havelock Island is the centre of the diving scene — the island has PADI-certified dive operators, a range of dive sites from beginner to advanced level and the water visibility in the October to May season that makes an andaman scuba diving package worth planning a trip specifically around. The PADI Open Water Diver course at Havelock takes three to four days in the water — theory, confined water skills and four open water dives to a maximum depth of 18 metres. At the end of it the certification is worldwide, permanent and recognised by every dive operator on earth. Getting your Open Water certification in the Andaman Islands rather than in a pool or a cold-water quarry elsewhere in the world is a specific kind of decision — the reef where you learn to dive is also the reef you actually want to be diving.

Bon Voyagers manages the complete ground programme from Port Blair Airport arrival for this andaman scuba diving package. Day 1 covers Port Blair and the Cellular Jail. Day 2 takes the ferry to Havelock for the course theory and confined water session. Days 3 and 4 complete the PADI Open Water course across the open water dives. Day 5 is the post-certification fun dives at Havelock’s named dive sites. Day 6 crosses to Neil Island for a final reef snorkelling session before the return to Port Blair and the departure. Private AC vehicle covers all island transfers. Ferry tickets in economy class are included. PADI course fees and all dive charges are paid separately to the registered dive operator — these are not included in the base package price. Daily breakfast and dinner on MAP basis throughout.
