Diving Havelock and Neil Islands

These two islands, in the south of the Andaman Islands, are exceptional diving spots. Scuba diving in Havelock is fantastic for the many macro diving sites where you can see a whole host of tiny creatures such as shrimps, tiny nudibranch mollusks, juvenile and devil scorpionfish, wart slugs, and leaf fish. Neil Island is the lesser known and visited of the two islands and offers pristine coral reefs and a less crowded environment while diving. Although it is quieter, it is still easy to get to from Port Blair and Havelock.
