The Best Boat Diving Site in Andaman for Beginners and non-swimmers
Turtle Beach and Tribe Gate are the best places for scuba diving in Andaman for those who are new to swimming or don’t know about swimming. Being remotely located has helped preserve marine life. You ride away from the hustle-bustle of the island and reach a dive site where your fellow divers on the boat and instructors are the only people you will see.
The description below is an example of what you can see during your scuba dive in Tribe Gate
Tribe Gate
Tribe gate is located about 2km East of Havelock. The Reef resembles a small mountain surrounded by sand, with the top of the reef starting at 3 meters and its deepest point at 12 meters.
Tribe gate is a vibrant reef with plenty to see at all depths. The reef is home to schools of snappers, fusiliers, surgeon fish, parrot fish, and clown fish.
If you take a closer look at the reef you may even find camouflaged fishes like scorpion and crocodile fishes, along with octopuses and sting rays.
The dive site is ideal for beginner and intermediate divers, given the wide array of fish life that is present.
The description below is an example of what you can see during your scuba dive in Turtle Beach
Turtle Beach
Turtle beach is a fringing reef located on the North Western side of Havelock, near Elephant Beach.
The top of the reef starts at 1 meter and continues down to a sandy bottom at 12 meters.
Due to the presence of vibrant coral life and its sheltered location, it acts as a nursery for juvenile fishes.
Some of the fish you are likely to see include damsel fish, banner fish, Moorish idols, clown fish, fusiliers, surgeon fish, and groupers.
As the name suggests you may also have a chance of spotting a Turtle!
Turtle beach is ideal for first-time divers due to its calm waters, good visibility, and gradual increase in depth.

The shore dive is well suited to the first-time diver that is new to swimming or has apprehensions about entering the sea and is equally enjoyable for those that love spending time in the water.

What Our Clients Say
I took a 4-day beginners scuba diving course with Seahawks – highly recommend it.
These guys are unlike many of the commercial companies who want to squeeze money out of you. They just love water and diving! They want you to have a good time and dedicate as much time as you need. I had a great time learning and they made me very comfortable with the dive, after which we tried out different diving spots. Deb and his team are awesome!
Team Seahawks in one of the most professional Diving company in Andaman
I have seen companies offering scuba at 1500/- while Seahawks will charge you 3500/- for shore diving and 4500/- for boat diving (both negotiable) but they will ensure they make your every penny worth it.
They made the experience so blissful and charming that once you are IN the water, you don’t want to come out and listen to them being our guides underwater
They are certified to do what they do
So once in havelock, go for SeaHawks only. these things are not for saving money, you do it once in your lifetime so make sure it’s worth it
Special mention to Vysakh, Foolzaan and Guddu bhai for making the trip memorable ❤️
Scuba diving and the evening kayak experience were simply amazing. Staff and dive masters were very friendly, professional, experienced and patient with explanations and did not hurry us. Awesome! Super impressed with Havelock on the whole
I did Snorkeling as well which was again wonderful and we did the Island Hop tour which was mind blowing. Nobody does island hopping as good as them and it was worth it. Me and my husband had one of the best days of this trip thanks to Seahawks Scuba. It was AMAZING and I highly recommend them!

Awesome awesome experience. We took the not dive. I’m a non swimmer and was frightened, but the team taught everything calmly with cognizance of my fears. I could easily dive. And I was so overwhelmed after seeing the underwater life I would’ve started crying. We spent 45-50 min under water and it was an experience I’ll never forget. Special thanks to Guddu and Vysakh and all the very happy and fun boat crew. Don’t be afraid if you cannot swim. You can easily do it.
