★★★★★ Jonny’s Gorge
Johnny’s Gorge is one of the most spectacular dive sites around Havelock. It is named after an Andaman local, a Karen, who discovered the dive site many years ago. It is a deep dive site well suited for advanced divers.
★★★★☆ Raptors Abode
Nestled amongst the hills in Kanjipuram just outside of Chennai, this abandoned stone quarry is a hidden gem. Slowly filling up with rainwater that has trickled in through the rocks, a beautiful lake has formed with clear blue water. This makes it a great place to dive.
★★★★★ Dicksons Pinnacle
A visit to Havelock island is not complete without at least one dive at Dixon’s Pinnacle. The pinnacles were discovered years ago by a local Andaman instructor called Dickson and since then the site has been the one of the most popular dive sites around Havelock.
★★★★★ Oasis, Tuticorin
Coral reef site surrounded by fields of seagrass. Great for beginners and training as there is soft sand and seagrass surrounding the site. Always present are schools of tropical fish: sweepers, angelfish, bannerfish, anemonefish and more. Site is surrounded by hundreds of seastars.
★★★★☆ Cozy Canyon
One of the best dive sites off the coast of Chennai. Teeming with marine life of all kinds. Currents can get quite strong here and visibility is variable, but a very worthwhile dive.
★★★★☆ S.S Rita/Suzys Wreck
This site is great for any one from beginners to advanced divers. It starts from a shallow depth of just 2 meters and goes down to a depth of 12 meters. A lot of wholes and windows along the side of the wreck make for great spots to look in and enjoy the fish life that have occupied this incredible dive site.
★★★★★ The Wall
The Wall is a good site for deep dives and is easily assessable from Havelock. A great site for fun dives and training courses. This site must be dived early in the morning due to passenger ferries.
★★★★★ Jackson's Bar
Along with Dixon’s Pinnacles and Johnny’s Gorge, it completes the holy trinity of must-see dive sites around Havelock. A truly spectacular dive! Lots of schooling fish and hunting action.
★★★★★ Margarita’s Mischief
This is one of three most popular dive sites located between Havelock and Neil Island. Margarita’s mischief is a long chain of rock mounds extending southward and is known for a particular variety of sea grass that dugongs love.
★★★★★ Bus Stop
Characterized by a captivating expanse, the site is settled with a gentle slope dispersed with small reefs and rocks on a sandy bottom. The pockets of dispersed rocks serve as a pristine habitat for fish and create a dramatic stage for divers to experience both micro and macro life forms.
★★★★☆ Pebble Beach
Pebble Beach is a favorite dive site at Netrani Island due to the usually good visibility and the great marine life. You can even spend the whole diving day here, you will never get bored.
★★★★★ Busy Buro
Busy Burro (busy old man) is located in the channel between Havelock and Neil island. It’s a beautiful natural plateau, where one can expect mild to strong currents around spring tide.
★★★★★ Great Wall
Wall of staghorn coral stretching for hundreds of metres. Surrounded by seagrass fields and soft sand. Slight surge requires good buoyancy skills to avoid the sharp coral.
★★★★☆ Govind’s Garden
Fields of sea grass scattered with patches of hard corals. Great for beginners who want to practice buoyancy, finning and photography. Clear waters and no current.
★★★★★ Bomb Rock East
This location got its name from the fact that the Indian Navy kept and occasionally keeps using this rock for target practice. Despite this, there is very little visible environmental damage here. The depth is a bit greater here (18-25 m) and it drops rapidly.
