star star star star star star star star star star
From January to December

In order to indulge in snorkeling in India, Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep Islands are the perfect destinations. In Andamans, one can enjoy the under-water marine life and view the rarest varieties of corals by snorkeling in the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park, Carbyn's Cove Tourism Complex, Havelock and other islands on all days from dawn to dusk depending on the weather. Lakshadweep is fast turning in to a water sports capital of India and particularly of the underwater sea sports. With its extensive coastline, coral islands, and magnificent diversity of marine life, Lakshadweep can be termed as the most engaging snorkeling destinations in the country.

The vast expanse of the Indian coastline offers great snorkeling options that tourists can experience during their vacations in India. Stretching many thousand kilometers, the Indian coastline holds the mighty waters of the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal. Dotted with the finest beaches, cliff promontories, mangroves, backwater, jewel-like island groups and marine life, there are wide snorkeling possibilities.

You can snorkel off the beaches, but for world class snorkeling join a speedboat tour to any of the small islands nearby. The island of Lakshadweep and Andamans / Nicobar Islands are a romantic snorkel paradise with more than one square kilometer of live coral and marvelous sea life set between two pristine tropical islands.

Snorkeling is the most popular ways to encounter the unique and exotic marine world of the Indian coastal region. India offers holidays at exceptional locations that are still unexplored and retain their elusive charm. Untouched by pollution, the blue, green and turquoise waters of its seas and oceans present the striking view of the Coral Sea beds. All divers and snorkels should be aware that it is a legal offence in the Marine Park to damage or remove coral. You must not damage coral.
