"Geographic isolation, mysterious Stone Age cultures, uncharted waters and a rich maritime history give the Andamans' an exotic charm and appeal all of their own”

Liveaboard and Diving Impressions from SEAL

The Andamans’ are a group of picturesque islands, big and small, inhabited and uninhabited, comprising five hundred and seventy two islands, islets and rocks, lying in the southeastern part of the Bay of Bengal. They lie along an arc, in a long and narrow broken chain, running approximately North-South, stretching nearly eight hundred kilometres. Belonging to India, but geographically related to Myanmar and Indonesia.

Considered a rustic backwater, the Andamans have disappeared into obscurity, long forgotten and definitely far off the beaten track of the average tourist or traveller. The Andaman Islands do not have a commercial fishing industry; the only fishermen we see are small sailing outriggers or purse–net beach-based fishing operations by the local villagers.

Geographically the Andaman Islands are the tip of a sub-aquatic mountain range, with waters dropping steeply to great depths on both the east and west coasts of the main Andaman Island chain.

Liveaboard and Diving Impressions from SEAL

With depths of more than two kilometres, the ocean is guaranteed to be crystal clear, swept with a rich oceanic current, which provides abundant food to support the rich and diverse marine life. This, combined with the lack of commercial fishing, ensures that the Andaman Islands offer some of the very best diving in the Indian Ocean.

We have been running dive trips in the Andaman Islands since the late 1980’s but due to local administrative bureaucracy, we had to curtail our diving operations in the Andamans for the past five years. A change of heart by the Andaman Administration now means that we are welcomed back to resume our very successful diving cruises to the very best dive sites that we know of in the Andaman Islands.
