    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Step Up is a gentle drift dive, perfect for newer divers building confidence in the Andaman Islands. We've seen plenty of reef fish sheltering among the sandy patches and small coral bommies. Keep an eye out for stingrays in the sand. It’s a solid spot for getting comfortable with the local conditions.
