Quick Travel Consultant Answer
March is the single best month for scuba diving, snorkeling, and water sports in the Andaman Islands. The Bay of Bengal is at its calmest, underwater visibility reaches 25 to 30 meters, skies are clear blue, and sea breezes keep temperatures pleasant (24°C–31°C).
Why March is the Golden Window for the Andaman Islands
If your idea of a holiday involves powdery white coral sand, swimming in warm turquoise waters, and discovering vibrant coral reefs, March in the Andamans is unmatched.
The winter winds have subsided and the summer heat has not yet set in. The ocean becomes as flat and transparent as a swimming pool, offering scuba divers and snorkelers encounters with sea turtles, clownfish, manta rays, and live coral gardens.
