Scuba diving in Andaman is a very popular activity worldwide. Andaman is not an exception especially since it is home to one of the densest ecosystems of coral reefs and formations. It is one of the very few dense and varied coral systems in the world which is why scuba diving in Andaman is a perfect choice. Many islands of Andaman are surrounded by long stretches of coral reefs which are usually several hundred meters wide. It makes the experience unique and hard to find anywhere else. When you do scuba diving in Andaman, you get to get a close-up view of beautiful orange clownfish, sea anemones, starfish, and shellfish swimming around.

This one is for those who love water activities but are not that keen on going in the water.
