Answer: While you can scuba dive all year round, it is the weather that plays spoilsport during monsoons. Getting underwater is risky during rain. That’s why most diving centres cancel all scuba diving appointments if the weather is not good. The Andamans is a tropical region, and the chances of heavy and arbitrary rain are also high during the monsoons. The monsoon season in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands starts around July and lasts up to September. So, any time before or after that should be good for scuba diving. The best time to scuba dive in Broken Ledge Havelock Island is from late October to March. This is because the weather is great around this time and the chances of rain are less. You can also go scuba diving until June; however, the weather is very hot and humid around that time. Also, there are always chances of frequent rains.
