Step 1
<p>Your adventure begins with a speedboat ride from Havelock jetty to Elephant Beach, one of the best coral spots in the Andamans. After a short safety briefing, you’ll board the semi-submarine and step down into its air-conditioned viewing cabin, which sits below the water line. Take your seat beside the large glass windows as the vessel slowly glides over the reef. Watch colourful corals, sea fans and schools of tropical fish like clownfish, parrotfish and butterflyfish swim right past you, just like a giant aquarium. On lucky days, you may even spot a turtle! A guide explains what you’re seeing in simple Hindi and English. You stay completely dry, with no swimming or diving needed, making it perfect for kids, seniors and non-swimmers. Take plenty of photos before heading back to the beach.</p>
