I was extremely scared being a non swimmer, but I ended up enjoying scuba diving in Andaman for non swimmers with Frogman, and it turned out to be amazing. I knew I was in good hands. Just follow the instructions they give and keep calm. They suggested lighthouse to me and it was the best. Go with Frogman for an amazing and safe experience.

We went to the Light house point. Saw a very different world. Learnt a new skill. Enjoyed ! Must do activity in Andaman. They have professional divers to train and take you down. Just follow the simple instructions they will take care of everything else.

My scuba diving experience was nothing short of special, and a huge part of that is thanks to the incredible instructors at Frogman. They were attentive, encouraging, and made sure safety was the top priority while keeping the vibe relaxed and fun. If you're planning on scuba diving in Andaman, you're in the best possible hands with this crew!
Chaynika Tanejatoday

Had an amazing experience with Frogman!, Suchith the owner, personally welcomed us and accompanied us, ensuring everything went smoothly. Ketan was my diver throughout the experience and was absolutely fantastic at making a non-swimmer like me feel safe, comfortable, and confident underwater. His professionalism and patience made all the difference! A special thanks to Kavya for capturing some wonderful pictures of this unforgettable experience. A friendly, professional, and supportive team. Highly recommend Frogman, especially for first-time divers and non-swimmers!

aakansha vyas2 days ago

We had an amazing scuba diving experience! The package included pick-up and drop-off from our hotel, all the necessary diving gear, and a wetsuit, making the entire experience very convenient.
Before the dive, the team provided proper training in shallow water, explaining underwater communication signals, breathing techniques, and how to handle any issues that might arise underwater. This helped us feel more comfortable and prepared.
The divers were extremely supportive, patient, and helpful throughout the experience. I experienced some ear pain during the dive, and my dive instructor was very understanding and patiently helped me equalise the pressure in my ears, which I really appreciated.
Underwater, we got to see a beautiful variety of corals and colourful fish. The experience was truly mesmerising and something we will remember for a long time!
Another great part was that the team clicked plenty of underwater pictures and videos, all included in the package, so we could take home some wonderful memories.
Overall, a fantastic experience with a professional, supportive, and friendly team. Highly recommended for anyone looking to try scuba diving!

Our visit to Havelock (Govind nagar Beach) with Frogman for scuba diving and snorkeling was an absolutely amazing experience. Everything was organized very well by Mr. Suchit Sir, who was present throughout the entire experience and made sure we were comfortable and safe at all times. The team was extremely professional, supportive, and friendly. Safety was clearly their top priority, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Underwater, we saw beautiful corals and a wide variety of colorful fish in the deep sea it was truly a different and unforgettable world. I sincerely thank the entire Frogman team and everyone who supported us during the activity. I would highly recommend Frogman to anyone visiting for scuba diving or snorkeling. Keep up the great work, guys! Thank you, Frogman 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸!

 Verified Magical experience
Just to give a little context why i felt what i felt, so it start way back ten years ago when i as going in swimming pool near my house and i had near death experience as i didn’t know how to swim and i was trying in deep water, so this time naturally i was so afraid to go in the sea and before this i had already tried this scuba diving in Gili island, Bali and at that time also i couldn’t do it though i took the training but eventually i said no to go with them in the ocean. This time also i was more afraid rather but all you need is a hand of someone who will tell you that you can do it don’t worry. So this piece is being taken care by my girlfriend too needless to say but there was one scuba instructor ( Mr. Ketan) special thanks to him, he did an amazing job- he told me at the start don’t think too much as i was panicking at the time of training session and he gave me good 10 minutes to do the practice afterward i was little reluctant to go in the sea again i was this close to say that i would not be able to do this time as well, but i didn’t say anything rather i and my gf went with these guys and then we took a dive and when i was floating at the surface only then he told me that lets do it again, afterwards he took me inside but not that deep just to make me feel comfortable with the water first and then suddenly when i started looking allover in the ocean there were different different type of fish and other mammals it was worth to watch, just want to say this that he held me in there throughout and when i started swimming and got comfortable then i was doing alone too without his help but still he didn’t let me go out of his sight. So yeah it was an amazing experience as the water was crystal clear, mesmerising views underwater, felt like i was flying in there as it becomes so light weight once you start enjoying it and most importantly one item off my bucket list. Also these scuba instructors are well behaved, well mannered, and well spoken too.

Common Questions About Scuba Diving in Havelock

Do I need to know how to swim to scuba dive in Havelock?

No swimming skills are needed for our beginner programs! For the Try Dive (Shore or Boat), a dedicated Frogman instructor will be with you 1:1, holding your hand and managing your equipment the entire time. You just need to breathe and enjoy the view.

Note: If you want to do a full certification course (like the RAID Open Water course), basic swimming skills are required.

Is scuba diving safe for beginners?

Yes, absolutely. At Frogman, we maintain a 100% safety record. We follow strict RAID safety protocols. All our equipment is premium quality and sanitized daily. Before you enter the water, we provide a full training session in waist-deep water to ensure you are comfortable.

Most first-timers start with our Try Scuba Diving experience in Havelock.

What is the scuba diving age limit in Havelock?

Minimum age for a try dive is 10 years: shallow-water practice up to 5 m, then an open-water dive up to 12 m.

8 and 9 Years: Children can do the RAID Try Dive Cadet in shallow water only, up to 2 m.
No upper age limit: Everyone fills in a medical form, and you only need a doctor’s sign-off if you answer yes to any medical question. See our scuba diving courses in Andaman for course ages.

What is the best scuba diving timing in Havelock Island?

The diving season in Swaraj Dweep (Havelock) is open year-round, but the best visibility is from October to May. During these months, the sea is calm, and underwater visibility can reach up to 20-30 meters. Monsoon months (June-Sept) still get good diving days when the sea allows, and the reefs are quieter.

Browse our dive sites in Havelock to see what each season offers.

Can I wear glasses or contact lenses underwater?

You cannot wear glasses inside the mask, but contact lenses are perfectly fine. If you wear powered spectacles, let us know in advance, we can arrange a prescription mask for you so you don’t miss any details of the reef!

How long does the entire activity take?

Plan for about 2 to 3 hours in total. This includes:

Pickup from your hotel
Training & briefing (30 mins)
Travel to the dive site
30 minutes underwater time
Return transfer & photo sharing It fits perfectly into a half-day itinerary.

What is the difference between Shore Dive and Boat Dive?

Shore Dive: You walk into the sea from the beach. Best for nervous beginners. (Site: Nemo Reef)
Boat Dive: We take a boat to deeper, clearer waters away from the crowd. Best for better visibility and more fish. (Sites: Tribe Gate, Juvis)

How do I book and get my photos?

You can book directly via WhatsApp or our website to get the transparent scuba diving cost in Havelock. Photos & Videos: We transfer your HD footage directly to your phone immediately after the dive – no waiting, no extra cost!

How much does scuba diving cost in Havelock Island?

Scuba diving in Havelock starts from Rs 3,500 for a shore dive at Nemo Reef. Boat dives cost Rs 4,000 to Rs 7,500. All Frogman packages include equipment, instructor, training, hotel pickup, and HD photos/videos. No hidden charges, ever. Check the scuba diving in Havelock price guide for the full breakdown.

What marine life will I see while scuba diving in Havelock?

Havelock Island has some of the richest marine biodiversity in India. On a typical dive you can expect to see:

Nemo Reef: Clownfish (Nemo!), sea anemones, parrotfish, damselfish, and soft corals
Tribe Gate: Sea turtles, lionfish, moray eels, giant groupers, and hard coral formations
The Wall: Barracuda, reef sharks (harmless), rays, and massive sea fans

Visibility in Havelock regularly reaches 15-25 meters. On a good day you can see the reef from the boat.

How do I reach Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep)?

First fly to Port Blair (Veer Savarkar International Airport). From there, take a government ferry or private cruise (Makruzz, Nautika, Green Ocean) to Havelock. The ferry ride takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. We recommend booking ferry tickets in advance during peak season (October-May). Once you reach Havelock jetty, we handle your pickup.

Spending a day in Port Blair before your ferry? Read our Cellular Jail visiting guide.

Can I get a RAID certification in Havelock?

Yes! Frogman Adventures offers full RAID certification courses right here in Havelock Island. Our most popular course is the RAID Open Water (3-4 days), which certifies you to dive up to 18 meters worldwide. We also offer Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver, and specialty courses. Havelock is one of the most affordable places in the world to get certified, with warm water all year and calm, clear training bays.

Which dive sites will we visit?

The best spots for scuba diving in Havelock Island are:

Nemo Reef (Beach No. 2): Best for beginners. Shore entry, rich coral, and clownfish. This is where most first-time divers start.
Tribe Gate: A boat dive site with sea turtles, larger fish, and better visibility. Our most popular site.
The Wall: For certified divers. A dramatic coral wall dropping to 30+ meters with barracuda and reef sharks.
Dixon Pinnacle: Advanced site known for large pelagic fish and strong currents.

Frogman Adventures operates at all these sites – see the full list of dive sites in Havelock. We pick the best one based on weather, tides, and your experience level.

How deep can you go scuba diving in Havelock Island?

The scuba diving depth in Havelock Island depends on your certification:

Try Dive (beginners): up to 12 meters. Enough to see coral gardens, clownfish, and sea turtles.
RAID Open Water certified: Up to 18 meters. Access to Tribe Gate, The Wall top, and Nemo Reef deep sections.
Advanced Open Water: Up to 30 meters. Access to Dixon Pinnacle, Jackson Bar, and deep wall dives.

Even at beginner depths (up to 12m), you see plenty because the coral starts very shallow here compared to most dive destinations.

Your Scuba Diving Options in Havelock, Explained

Most travellers who write to us have the same question: which dive should I pick? Here is how we explain it at the dive centre.

First time underwater? Start with a try dive

A try dive needs no licence and no swimming. After training in waist-deep water, your instructor takes you onto the reef at a maximum depth of 12 metres. You can walk in from the shore at Nemo Reef, or take a short boat ride to quieter reefs like Tribe Gate, where the water is clearer and the fish life is bigger. Read about diving as a beginner or non swimmer to see which suits you. If you are nervous, start with the shore dive; it is the gentlest introduction we know.

Already certified? Go fun diving

If you hold an Open Water licence or higher, Havelock is where Indian divers come to spend their logged dives. Johnny's Gorge, Dixon's Pinnacle and The Wall carry sharks, rays, turtles and schooling barracuda through the season, and the boat rides out to them are short. We sort groups by experience, so you are never stuck swimming behind a training batch. See our fun dive packages or browse all 21 dive sites to plan your days.

Want a licence? Learn here

Havelock is one of the calmest and most affordable places in the world to get certified. The RAID Open Water course takes 3 to 4 days, our batches stay at a maximum of four students per instructor, and the water holds 27 to 30 degrees all year. Shallow training bays and daily boat access to real reefs mean students here progress faster than in cold-water destinations. Dates and details are on our courses page.

Every Frogman package includes equipment, training, hotel pickup and free photos and videos, and our full price list is published so you can compare before you book. Still unsure? Message us on WhatsApp and tell us who is coming - age, swimming comfort, any medical points. We will suggest the right dive honestly, even if it is the cheaper one. That is how a local dive centre works.
