Ten dives across six days on Havelock, all with one guide - the trip for divers who would rather know four reefs properly than see nine once.
Moving islands costs you two half-days and a ferry queue. This trip does not: six days on Havelock, ten dives, and the same guide from the first to the last - who by day three knows what you are working on and plans the dive around it.
Why one island
Because the second dive on a site is always better than the first. You already know where the reef goes, so you spend the dive looking at things instead of following someone. Divers who come back to us have usually done this trip.
The optional course
Two of these ten dives can be the Advanced Open Water course dives at no extra charge beyond the certification fee. Say so at the enquiry stage and the itinerary is built to allow it.

Between the dives
Radhanagar, obviously. Kalapathar before seven. And the fifth afternoon off entirely - by then you will want it.
When to come
Best diving: November, December, January, February, March, April
Outside those months the trip still runs - visibility and sea state just move around, so ask us what the water is doing the week you are here.
Day by day
What the trip actually looks like once you are on the boat.
ArrivalTransfer, ferry and a kit check
Met at Port Blair, across on the afternoon sailing, kit sized and briefed the same evening.
- Transfer, Ferry
Dive day oneTurtle Bay and Jackson Bar
Two easy dives to settle weighting and trim before anything demanding. Your guide is watching how you dive, not just where.
- 2 dives
- Turtle Bay
- Breakfast, Surface snacks
- Shallow, Turtles
Dive day twoDixon Pinnacle, and the Lighthouse after dark
The deep one on a fresh morning, an afternoon off, and the night dive for anyone who wants it.
- 2 dives
- Dixon Pinnacle
- Breakfast, Surface snacks
- Deep, Night dive
Dive day threeJohnny's Gorge, twice
The same plateau on both tanks. The second dive is the one you will remember - you already know the layout, so you spend it looking under the ledges instead of finding them.
- 2 dives
- Johnny's Gorge
- Breakfast, Surface snacks
- Groupers, Macro
Dive day fourYour choice of two
By now you have opinions. Say what you want to dive over breakfast and we will go there.
- 2 dives
- Jackson Bar
- Breakfast, Surface snacks
- Flexible
Last divesTwo shallow dives, then the ferry
Shallow and close in so the no-fly clock starts early. Logs signed at the centre, ferry mid-afternoon.
- 2 dives
- Turtle Bay
- Breakfast
- Shallow, No-fly planning

From the water
Before you dive
The rules every diver on this trip is held to. None of them are negotiable, and none of them are a surprise on the day.
Minimum age
Divers must be 12 or older on the day of the dive.
Medical declaration
A medical declaration is signed by every diver. Answer yes to anything on it - asthma, heart conditions, recent surgery, pregnancy, prescription medication - and a physician's sign-off is needed before you dive. Tell us at the enquiry stage, not on the boat.Flying after diving
Leave at least 18 hours between your last dive and your flight. Book your trip home with that gap already in it - we cannot shorten it for you.
Insurance
Dive-specific insurance covering recreational diving to your certified depth is required and is not included. DAN World and DiveAssure both cover the Andamans; the nearest recompression chamber is in Port Blair.
This is general guidance for recreational diving, not medical advice about you. If any of it is a question rather than a formality, speak to a doctor before you travel.
The small print
Payment
Twenty-five per cent confirms the dates and holds your seats on the boat. The balance is due seven days before you arrive. We take bank transfer and UPI; card payment goes live when the gateway does.
Prices are per person unless the variant says otherwise, and taxes are included in the number you see.
Cancellation
Cancel more than 21 days out and the deposit is refunded in full. Between 21 and 7 days we keep the deposit. Inside 7 days the trip is charged in full, because the boat and the guide are already committed.
If we cancel a dive for weather or sea state, that dive is refunded or moved - your call, and there is no argument about it. A dive you sit out on medical advice is refunded in full.
Terms and conditions
Every diver signs a medical declaration and a liability release before entering the water. A "yes" on the medical form is not a refusal - it means a doctor signs it off first, and we will tell you that before you book rather than at the jetty.
Certification cards are checked on arrival. If your last dive was more than twelve months ago we will ask you to take a refresher, and it is chargeable.
Questions divers ask
Ten dives on one island - will it get repetitive?
Most sites are dived twice and they do not dive the same way twice. If you would rather cover ground, the Seven-Day Reef Explorer is the trip that moves.
Can I skip a dive?
Yes, and nobody will ask you to justify it. An unused dive on the itinerary is not refunded, but it can usually be moved to another day.
Is the night dive included?
Yes, on day three, and it is optional. Torches come from us.

What people say once the boat is back in
Ten dives on Havelock with one guide all week, which is what a photographer actually needs - by day three he knew what I was after and took me back to the same bommie twice. Nitrox at Johnny's Gorge is the difference between a photograph and an attempt at one.
