Step 1
<p>Your dive day begins with a short boat ride from Aberdeen jetty in Port Blair to North Bay Island. At the dive centre, change into a wetsuit and meet your certified Divemaster. In shallow water near the shore, you’ll learn how to breathe through the regulator, clear your mask and use simple hand signals. Once you feel comfortable, your Divemaster holds on to you and guides you slowly deeper. For the next 20–30 minutes, explore North Bay’s famous coral wall, full of colourful corals, sea anemones and schools of tropical fish. You don’t need to swim, just breathe slowly and enjoy the view while your Divemaster controls your movement. Our underwater photographer captures your dive, and the photos and videos are shared to your phone after you return to shore.</p>
