The Andaman and Nicobar Islands have added four new scuba-diving sites to boost marine adventure tourism in the region. Tourism officials said the newly opened locations offer vibrant coral reefs, diverse marine life, and improved diving experiences for beginners as well as experienced divers. The initiative aims to strengthen Andaman’s position as one of India’s leading diving destinations and attract more international adventure travellers. Authorities are also focusing on sustainable marine tourism practices to protect fragile underwater ecosystems. Local operators believe the expansion of dive sites will support tourism businesses, generate employment, and encourage longer visitor stays across the islands.
