Port Blair

Port Blair is the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Indian Ocean. It serves as the gateway to the archipelago, with most diving activity concentrated on nearby sites across the islands rather than within the city itself. The local dive scene is small, with a limited number of centers and occasional charters to nearby reefs, walls, and wrecks. Given its remote location, diving options typically involve day boat trips from Port Blair or trips further to the surrounding islands. Water is warm and visibility varies by site; bookings are best arranged ahead of time through local centers.
