A Note from Dom

Photo of the islands courtesy of Frank van der Linde of The Siren.  The lovely new yacht Siren should be your first choice to take you to The Andamans.  She is getting thumbs up from every side, a gorgeous boat, a fabulous crew.  Her first series of trips to remote islands from Port Blaire, India left her guests raving about the enchanting islands, the clear blue water, the fabulous soft corals and the plenitude of fish & she continues to delight her guests. You'll definitely want to add this boat to your wish list for diving Burma, Thailand, The Andamans and Komodo, too. Best season for The Andamans is from December to April so if you're tempted read on for details of the Siren below and don't hesitate to contact us for more information or to book spaces.

Cheers, Dom ANDAMAN ISLANDS OVERVIEW      The coastal water surrounding India's fabled Andaman Islands is the abode of one of the richest coral reef ecosystems in the world. This remote, rarely explored & largely pristine island archipelago boasts coral reefs & underwater formations that are virtually undamaged by human activity.  The islands (in red on the map below, to the east of India) are largely volcanic in origin, and the experience is for many, what diving used to be.  Little has changed here over the centuries, including the marine life.  The volcanic nature of land mass gifts divers with sweeping walls and great channels, most of which are wallpapered with healthy hard & soft corals, super sponges, fabulous fans.  You’ll find rare fish species of astonishing colors, plentiful schools of both large & medium-sized fish, along with rays in abundant quantities.
