Based out of the Dancing Dugong Resort, our Neil dive center offers a full array of scuba certification courses, ranging from Open Water Diver all the way to Stress & Rescue and Specialty training, as well as daily dive trips for certified divers.

Why Neil?
Well, as Havelock continues to grow, we feel that the best way for divers to experience the magic of the Andamans is at a quieter, more laid back location far away from the package tourist crowds – that way, we can continue offering the type of diving experience that has been our hallmark since the day we started diving in the Andamans (when 4 divers was a busy day): small groups, pristine reefs, expert dive guides and best of all – no crowds on the reef.

Neil will offer exactly that – a throwback to what diving was like in the Andamans back when it was just us, a couple of local island-style boats and a large unexplored ocean. Neil Island is also close to Port Blair and connected by daily ferries to both Havelock and Port Blair. In addition, having already dived some of the waters around it, we are very excited about the potential of the waters around this region, and we feel it will offer the same world-quality dive sites that make the diving in Havelock so amazing.

At present, we strongly recommend certified divers base themselves out of Neil – we can access all the top sites of Havelock like Johnny’s Gorge, Dixon’s Pinnacle, etc from Neil, and also have additional high-action sites which are not accessible from Havelock.
