Step 1
<p>Your day starts with a 30–40 minute boat ride from Aberdeen jetty in Port Blair to North Bay Island, also called Coral Island. Enjoy views of the coastline and the famous lighthouse seen on the ₹20 note. At the sea walk point, our instructors give you a short safety briefing and teach you simple hand signals. They then place a special helmet on your head that supplies fresh air from above, so you breathe normally and your face stays dry. Climb down a ladder to the sandy seabed, about 5–7 metres deep. For 15–20 minutes, walk among bright corals, sea anemones and schools of clownfish and butterflyfish, with an expert diver beside you the whole time. Your underwater moments are captured on camera, so you go home with photos and videos to share.</p>
