When to dive in the Andaman Islands

The best time to go diving in the Andaman Islands is from November to May, when seas are calm, visibility is high, and water temperatures range from 26–29°C. T

hese months offer ideal conditions for exploring vibrant coral reefs, encountering manta rays, reef sharks, and turtles, and visiting top dive sites like Havelock, Neil, and Barren Island.
