Diving Sites in Port Blair
Scuba diving is one of the most popular water activities in the world. In India, the Andaman Islands are known for having the best diving spots. Depending on the particular day's weather conditions considering currents winds and visibility, you will be going for two dives at any of these sites Johnny’s, Jackson’s, Red Pillar, Lighthouse, Dixon’s, etc. The entire experience will be of around five hours in duration wherein our instructor will be briefing you on the basics of scuba diving as well. We will provide you pick-up and drop-off facility upto 3 kms radius from our dive center. Our 5-star PADI facility will take care of all your requirements to ensure that you have a wonderful dive.
If you’ve ever wondered what’s down there under the surface—beneath the calm water you see from the beach this is a real way to find out. The 2 Dives Scuba Diving Packages in Havelock Island give you enough time in the water to do more than just try diving. It’s not one of those rushed-in, rushed-out setups where you barely get used to the gear before you’re back on land. You get to do it twice, and that changes everything.
Havelock Island (now called Swaraj Dweep) has some of the clearest water you’ll find in India. People talk about the coral and the colours, and yeah, those are there, but what makes it different is how the world just shifts once you’re in the aquatic world. Fish don’t move like they do in the videos. The coral isn’t just one shape or colour, it's vibrant and diverse. Everything is alive and slow, and if you’re paying attention, it hits differently.
This package includes two separate dives at spots the team picks based on the ocean conditions that day. Some days it’s calm enough to go to Johnny’s Gorge or Dixon’s. Other days, it might be Lighthouse or Jackson’s. Doesn’t matter which one you end up at—they’re all solid. You’ll be with instructors who know these waters inside out, and they’re there with you the whole way.
Don’t expect to be herded through this like some tourist line. The whole thing takes about five hours, and it’s meant to feel that way—spaced out, no rush, no noise. It starts at the dive centre, and this isn’t a shack with plastic chairs. It’s a proper 5-star PADI place where things are clean, the gear is maintained, and the people working there actually dive these waters regularly.
You’ll sit down with one of the instructors, and they’ll explain what you’re about to do. It’s not a classroom thing, just a real conversation. How to breathe through the regulator. How to clear your mask underwater. What to do if your ears feel funny. How to stay neutral so you don’t float up or sink too fast. All these technical things are very important to know before you dive into the unknown world of marines.
Then you get into your gear. Wetsuit, BCD, regulator, fins, and mask. Everything is fitted to you, and they take time with it. Nothing’s thrown at you last minute. Doesn’t matter if you’ve never dived before. You don’t need to be certified. You just need to be reasonably healthy, calm, and above the age of 10.
After that, you head out by boat. The instructors decide where to take you depending on the day, some spots are better in the morning, others later. These are the usual dive sites they might pick from:
Dixon’s Pinnacle – deeper dive site, open ocean feel, more movement, chance of bigger fish
Lighthouse – usually calm, good for newer divers, lots of coral close to the surface
Johnny’s Gorge – can be intense, often full of life, but only if the current’s right
Jackson’s Bar and Red Pillar – quieter, wide coral beds, easy to move through
You’ll do one dive first. Then take a break. Sit on the boat, have some water, and talk through how it went. Then you go again. That second dive is the one most people remember.
The thing that makes diving in Havelock different isn’t just the clarity or the coral. It’s how alive the place feels once you’re in it. You’ll notice that even when two sites are 10 minutes apart, what you see underwater can change completely. One spot might be full of anemones with tiny clownfish darting in and out. Another might have open rocky patches where rays glide past like they’re not even touching the water. Over two dives, you’re likely to come across:
Visibility changes with the season, but it’s usually somewhere between 15 to 25 metres. Water stays warm all year, anywhere between 26 and 29°C. And currents are mostly mild in the beginner spots. The instructors will always stay close, they know how to read the water and won’t take you anywhere you won’t handle.
The first dive will probably feel a bit new, as you’re getting used to the gear, breathing, and your weight underwater. But the second dive is different. You stop thinking about all that. You move more easily. You see more. You notice the way light falls over coral. You spot smaller fish tucked between rocks. You experience the dive, not just survive it.
There’s no figuring things out last minute. Once you book the dive, the team handles the rest. If you’re staying within 3 km of the dive centre, they’ll come pick you up. Doesn’t matter if you’re at a fancy resort or a simple guesthouse, they’ve got you covered. Usually, this includes spots near Beach No. 5 or Beach No. 3. Here’s what’s included in the 2-Dives Scuba Diving Packages in Havelock Island:
Two open-water dives with a certified instructor
You just need to show up with your swimwear, a towel, and a change of clothes. If you wear contact lenses or glasses, let them know ahead of time so they can give you the right mask. You’ll also be asked to fill out a basic health form—nothing heavy, just to make sure you’re good to go. This isn’t one of those dive trips where they nickel and dime you for everything. No extra charge for the gear, no weird add-ons. It’s all included.
One dive is fine, but it’s never enough. That first time you go under, your brain’s still sorting everything out. You’re thinking about your breathing, checking your depth, adjusting your mask. You’re present, but not looking. By the second dive, it’s a different story. You start relaxing. Your movements feel more natural. You’re not fiddling with gear or fighting buoyancy. That’s when you start seeing things. That’s when the dive becomes real.
These 2 Dives Scuba Diving Packages in Havelock Island are built around that second dive. It’s not about doing more for the sake of more. It’s about getting a second chance to settle in, to enjoy the water, to see what’s around you instead of just getting through it. For beginners, it’s the easiest way to get comfortable with diving .without jumping straight into a course. For returning divers, it’s a relaxed, low-pressure way to reconnect with the reef without all the structure of training. Either way, two dives are better than one. Every time.
The 2 Dives Scuba Diving Packages in Havelock Island are for people who want to experience the ocean slowly and with proper guidance. You don’t need to be a swimmer. You don’t need to have dived before. You just need to be open to something new and calm. These dives are made for comfort. Nothing is rushed, and you’re never pushed beyond what you can handle.
It’s a beginner-friendly diving option in the Andaman Islands. The instructor is with you from start to finish. You won’t be in a big group, and you won’t be expected to figure things out on your own. Everything is explained, shown, and done at your pace.
This kind of package works especially well if you:
If you’re 10 years or older and medically fit, you’re eligible. It’s one of the easiest ways to experience real scuba diving in the Andamans without taking a full course.
If you’re doing the 2-Dives Scuba Diving Packages in Havelock Island, block out the day. Don’t squeeze other plans around it. The dive takes about five hours, including briefings, surface breaks, and boat time.
Some days, visibility will be clear and you’ll see more schools of fish. On others, coral stands out more than the fish. Conditions shift, and that’s part of what makes each dive different. You’re not watching a planned show. You’re entering a natural environment and seeing what it has to offer that day.
The instructor will take care of every minor detail, such as helping you to get into the wetsuit. Checking and ensuring that you get all the equipment and in proper conditions. He will provide a fitting mask according to your size. They will be there every second so that you can get help if you are facing any issues like breathing, ear pressure or balance.
Your first dive will feel like an introduction. You’ll focus on your gear, your breathing, and staying calm. The second dive is where everything clicks. You start noticing things: fish moving around coral, light patterns in the water, and tiny life that you missed earlier.
The best part about these 2 Dives Scuba Diving Packages in Havelock Island isn’t how deep you go or how long you stay underwater. It’s what you feel. It’s how quiet everything becomes. How slow your thoughts get. How the reef goes on with its life, whether you’re there or not.
Most people remember the second dive more. That’s when you stop adjusting and start observing. You stop focusing on the equipment and start noticing the reef. You feel the current move around you. You see small flashes of colour that weren’t there a second ago.
You’ll probably remember:
You’re not just ticking off a travel activity. You’re taking time in a world that doesn’t work like ours, and for a little while, you’re part of it. That’s what makes this dive special. That’s why people come back.
