Andhra Pradesh

Andhra Pradesh offers coastal diving along the eastern seaboard of India, facing the Bay of Bengal. The region’s scuba activity centers on sheltered waters and small coastal sites near urban hubs, with limited offshore dive options compared with India’s southern reef systems. Expect warm tropical to subtropical conditions, sandy and reef-associated habitats near river mouths, and visibility that varies with monsoon-driven turbidities. Dive centers around Vizag (Visakhapatnam) serve local shore dives and boat trips to nearby sites. The region is more about accessible, easy-going coastal diving for beginners or weekend trips than world-class offshore reefs.
