1) Which island is best for Snorkelling?
Andaman and Nicobar Islands have several islands that offer great snorkelling opportunities. Among them, Havelock Island is widely considered the best island for snorkelling in Andaman. The island is home to some of the best coral reefs in the Andaman and offers several snorkelling sites such as Elephant Beach, Radhanagar Beach, and Vijaynagar Beach. These sites have clear waters with excellent visibility and are home to a wide variety of marine life, including colorful fish, sea turtles, rays, and reef sharks. Other islands in Andaman, such as North Bay, Neil Island, and Jollybuoy Island, are also popular for snorkelling and offer a chance to explore the underwater world of the Andaman Islands.

2) What is the best time to do it?
The best time for snorkelling in Andaman is during the dry season, which lasts from November to May. During this period, the weather is pleasant, the seas are calm, and the underwater visibility is high, making it an ideal time for snorkelling. The water temperature during this season is also comfortable, ranging from 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, which is perfect for spending time in the water.

It’s important to note that weather patterns can be unpredictable, and it’s always best to check the current weather conditions before planning any snorkelling activity. Additionally, during the monsoon season from June to September, the sea conditions can be rough, and the underwater visibility may be poor, making it less ideal for snorkelling. Therefore, it’s advisable to plan your snorkelling trip during the dry season to ensure the best experience possible.

3) Is there a age limit for Snorkelling?
There is no specific age limit for snorkelling in Andaman. Children as young as 6 or 7 years old can participate in snorkelling with proper guidance and supervision. However, it’s important to note that snorkelling requires a certain level of physical fitness and swimming ability. If you have any concerns about your or your child’s ability to participate in snorkelling, it’s best to consult with the tour operator before booking your excursion.

Additionally, some tour operators may have their own age limits and requirements for snorkelling, and it’s important to check with them before booking your tour. They may also require participants to undergo a short training session before snorkelling to ensure their safety and the safety of others in the water. It’s always best to follow the guidance of the tour operator and take all necessary precautions while snorkelling to have a safe and enjoyable experience.

4) Is it necessary to know swimming for snorkelling?
While knowing how to swim is not mandatory for snorkelling, it’s highly recommended that participants have at least basic swimming skills. Snorkelling involves floating on the surface of the water and swimming with fins to get a better view of the underwater world. In case of any emergency, being able to swim can help you get back to the boat or shore safely.

Additionally, snorkelling can be physically demanding, and having swimming skills can help you conserve your energy and enjoy the experience for a longer time. If you don’t know how to swim, it’s recommended that you take swimming lessons before your snorkelling trip to feel more comfortable in the water.

That being said, snorkelling tour operators usually provide life jackets and other safety equipment to ensure the safety of participants. They may also have snorkelling guides who can assist you in the water and help you enjoy the experience even if you are not an experienced swimmer. It’s important to communicate your swimming abilities and any concerns you may have to the tour operator before booking your snorkelling excursion.
