Dive-site story
Situated along the sheltered coastline of Havelock Island in the Andaman archipelago, Nemo Reef serves as the primary training ground and house reef for local dive operations. The topography consists of a gradual sandy slope dotted with scattered hard coral bommies, sea anemone clusters, and small rocky outcrops. Calm conditions make this reef an ideal setting for initial open water training dives, skill checkouts, and relaxed macro photography.
Numerous sea anemone colonies populated by territorial clownfish pairs
Sheltered sandy channels populated by gobies, snapping shrimp, and resting rays
Easy, direct beach entry leading across gentle sand slopes
Location

Seasonality
The northeast monsoon brings optimal water clarity and calm weather, whereas the southwest monsoon during the middle of the year brings heavy rainfall and rougher seas.
