The best place for scuba diving in Andaman
The Andaman and Nicobar islands are situated in the centre of the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal, popular for having beautiful beaches with the best diving spots.

Swimming underwater with SCUBA or Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus is undoubtedly fun and thrilling for adventure lovers who want an experience of a lifetime. It doesn’t matter whether you are an experienced swimmer or a non-swimmer as scuba diving doesn’t need swimming competency.

Neil island
Another popular place for scuba diving is Neil island or Shaheed Dweep which is known for its serene beauty and tranquillity.
