Continental Scuba - Andaman Islands
The Andaman Islands offer some intriguing diving, and Continental Scuba is one of the more established operations here. They’re based in Havelock, which is a good launchpad for exploring the local sites, many of which are known for healthy hard corals and a good chance of pelagics if you hit the currents right. What really sets them apart, though, is their focus on instructor training. If you’re serious about making a career out of diving in a less-trodden corner of the world, or just want to complete your IDC in a unique setting, these are the folks to talk to. We’ve seen their instructors at various dive shows, always happy to chat about what makes the Andamans special.
