This is an invitation to all divers to come and explore the final frontier in diving, the Andaman islands(neil island). We are the only dive shop on the island and have spent the last two years exploring the area and diving with our guests(now our friends).
This is one of those places that has just opened up to diving so if you want adventure, exploration and a chance to visit an island that is still not developed(no buildings, no petrol pumps,etc), this is it.

Hey
When in January will you be coming.
Exploration dives are a possibility depending on how experienced the rest of the group diving on that day are.
All sites on Neil Island have been discovered by us and dived by very few divers.
We are continuously discovering new sections of our dive sites.
Also ahve 2 dive sites where we ha e taken under 10 divers.
Regarding opening something here..will talk when you get here.
You may contact me on my cell No. 09474238646

I'll be on a liveaboard late March 2010 by Worldwide Dive and Sail, leaving out of Port Blair. They've discounted their normal rate recently. Checkout their website.
We are planning a trip to Andaman and Similan islands and any advice or tip would be a great help.
First season wise, when is the best time to dive in Andaman?
Or maybe even being more specific, is it worth it if we can only dive in the beginning of the season, let's say, October?
We are diving with to big ass cameras, where is be the best dive club for us?
I need an operator with big boats, is that even possible?
Also, is there a way to get from Andaman to Similan (Thailand) directly?
Maybe liveaboard or something like that?
Feel so stupid to go all the way back to India, fly to Bangkok and sail to the Similans when it is actually so close!
Sorry for the late reply, I finally didn't go to andaman islands. But if I want to go over there I will let u know for my next time.
