Channel 62
Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including dugongs, sperm whales, spinner dolphins, nautiluses and pufferfish - Channel 62 offers some of Andaman Islands's richest drift diving.
Channel 62 is a straightforward drift dive, best for divers comfortable with moving water. We’ve found the currents here tend to push you gently along, making for an easy ride over a sloping reef. Keep an eye out for various reef fish darting amongst the coral patches. It’s a good choice for intermediate divers looking for a relaxed exploration rather than a complex navigation challenge.
