Shoulder re-opening after monsoon: sites reopen, currents attract schooling fish and reef sharks, with improving visibility as seas settle.
Peak season: 20–100ft+ visibility, calm seas, 79–82°F water; best reef encounters with sharks, rays & turtles at sites like The Wall and Dixon's Pinnacle.
Pre-monsoon warmth (82–86°F) draws larger pelagics — manta rays and occasional whale sharks — while seas stay calm and dive sites remain accessible.
Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) offers both shore and boat entries across 20+ sites — Nemo Reef, Elephant Beach, The Wall, and Turtle Beach — with 81–86°F water, 15–40 m (49–131 ft) visibility, reef sharks, mantas, turtles, dugongs, and seasonal whale sharks; suits all skill levels.
Also known for: Fresh seafood — particularly Sonia's fish curry and live-catch lobster/crab
The all-in above is the typical price. A few times a year, Andaman Islands (Havelock) fares drop 25–50% below that. StokedFare watches dive destinations from your home airport 24/7 and pings you the second one crosses that line — free.
