Best Time to Dive in Andaman

Many believe that rain can hamper diving, but the wind has more to do with it than rain. Prolonged periods of rain can create an issue with visibility, but that is rarely the case in Andaman.

The waters are the calmest between the months of November and May, making it the best season for scuba diving in Andaman. It is when visibility is unaffected and there is no rain. It is also the perfect time for beginners to learn the fun activity. The graph shows a slight dip during the monsoon months from June to September, which divers avoid.

Although the best time to visit Andaman for scuba diving is during the calmer months, the island is quite welcoming throughout the year. Before you jump in the waters, make sure to gear yourself properly with the necessary equipment. Wearing leggings under your swimwear can be an excellent choice as it gives you the flexibility to move around, and helps protect your skin from the harmful UV rays.
