Scuba Diving at Havelock
Scuba diving is the main activity on Havelock island other than
chilling out, lying on the beaches or hammocks and eating seafood. Andaman
Bubbles, Barefoot Scuba, DiveIndia and Doongi Dives are the top certified dive
centers, providing good equipment and offering dive training. You don’t need to
be a swimmer to do the discover scuba diving. The diving possibilities around
the Andamans are vast and it feels that what has been discovered is only the
beginning...and even that is pretty great. As of now Havelock is the center of
diving on the Andamans.
I headed straight to the boat of one of the diving center at havelock,were i suited up with the diving gear and were taught
various underwater signs & gestures before the dive. I was completely petrified, thankfully I had a very
composed trainer, who was really patient with me. My trainer was constantly telling me not to worry and that
he would be with me throughout the dive, guiding me. And somehow after
15 mins of dilly-dallying, and putting my head underwater numerous times
practicing to breathe through my mouth, i gathered some courage and
signalled my trainer to take me underwater, and after that there was no turning back, and I finally overcame my fear.
There is nothing like
breathing underwater. You feel your throat dry up, and try blowing air
from your nose but you can’t. In the struggle of breathing from your
mouth. And then you make
a conscious effort to try and convince yourself to breath from the
mouth. What fascinated me thoroughly was the sound of my own breath
underwater, it was hypnotising. We kept swimming, deeper and deeper and
my trainer kept on communicating through hand gestures to make sure I
was all right with the water pressure. We took pictures, saw so many
coral reefs and exotic colourful fishes. After about 25mins of exploring
the deep waters, my trainer brought me up slowly towards the boat. The
whole experience left me serene and mellow.I was in awe of the sheer magnificence of it all and just wanted time to
stand still. Exploring nature is a meditation in itself. The feeling of
power that you experience rejuvenates your inner self again
