Remoteness of the Andamans

Go there for eco-tourism or scuba diving and to get away from the hustle-bustle.

The Andman reefs are considered among the most pristine on earth.

You don't want to go to Andaman without getting down to the coral reefs. Some of the greatest Scuba diving anywhere.

We saw:
Colorful Sea Snakes
Sting Rays
Sea Turtle
Parrot Fish

Getting Around

Andaman Easy Rider

Renting a motorcycle is a great way to get around. If you do not have a strong self esteem then bring your own helmet.

This looks like a very interesting spot to relax in! I hope that it is still there after the recent devestating tsunami.
