Why to visit Snorkeling at North Bay
North Bay is a small island near Port Blair that is ideal for all kinds of aquatic activities, including snorkelling. Because the island is so small, visitors come to enjoy some fun and adventure in the ocean. The waters are pure and perfectly shallow, providing for a clear view of the underwater world with no distortions.
In terms of marine life, the area has one of the most diversified and rich coral populations in the Andaman Islands, which is protected by the Andaman administration. The bordering reefs are home to a diverse range of fish and sea creatures, such as lobsters and shrimp, which form a beautiful barrier around the snorkeler. Dive a little deeper to see lobsters, clown fish families, and stone fish lurking beneath the corals. For all divers, especially first-timers, the experience is a perfect blend of thrill and fun.
To go to North Bay, you'll need to take a ferry from the Aberdeen Marine Jetty. Alternatively, you can schedule your own ship and take your own equipment to the island, where you can snorkel for many hours.
