Answer: The Wall diving site is close to Havelock Island in Andaman and Nicobar Island. You’d have to first reach Havelock Island via a ferry as there is no other way to go to Havelock. Also, as a tourist, you’d only get ferries from Port Blair. Port Blair also has an international airport and has regular flights from many places in India and some neighbouring countries. Your flight ticket is the only big travel expense that you have to make. The ferries that start from the Phoenix Jetty at Port Blair are very cheap and cost you just around INR 300-500 per person. You can also get chair cars to sit and enjoy the stunning view. Havelock Island is around 70 km away from Port Blair, so you may need 2-3 hours to reach the island. The Wall’s diving spot is again another 15-20 minutes away from Havelock. You’ll get many boat rides to the spot at diving centres. The diving centres usually add the cost of a boat ride to the full diving package.
