DIVEIndia - Andaman Islands
DIVEIndia, based in the Andamans, is a solid choice for exploring the local sites around Neil Island. They run regular trips to popular spots, often spotting pelagics and schooling fish. We'd suggest them for divers who appreciate straightforward logistics and a focus on getting in the water without fuss. Good for those looking to rack up a few dives away from the busier Havelock scene.
