Andamans islands: a diving experience
Still less visited, this paradisaical archipelago will reveal its magnificent sand beaches, splendid coral reefs and an underwater world of an exceptional diversity. Also known for its cultural past (Bengali, Tamil, Burmese, native ethnic groups,...), Andaman shelters authentic small villages of fishermen and farmers.
Diving in Andaman is arguably one of the best experience: the rides are done in “Donguis”, traditional Burmese boats with engine. The landscapes are very varied: mangrove swamp, jungle and many luxuriant small islands... to arrive at the spot of diving where very often the only boat is yours. Spots of diving located at 45 mn - 1:30 of Havelock are numerous. No need to go down in great depths to see all that this archipelago has to offer: 50 soft and hard coral species of all colors, 10 clown-fish species, without forgetting mantas, tortoises and the peaceful silvertip and hammer-head sharks! When you meet groupers and napoleons, you are not dreaming: they are indeed huge!!!
Andaman deserves their place on the charts of international diving. Already, in 1990, Jacques-Yves Cousteau spoke about it in his documentary “Andaman Islands: Invisible islands...”
