PORT BLAIR

GETTING THERE

Direct flights are available from Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad, taking between 2 to 3.5 hours depending on your departure location.

Port Blair is the capital city of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which are renowned for their golden beaches and crystal clear waters filled with exotic marine life.

The waters surrounding Port Blair are home to a fascinating array of marine creatures, from dolphins and jellyfish to manta rays and reef fishes. Divers can look forward to admiring and interacting with a host of different sea turtle species, including the green turtle, hawksbill turtle, leatherback turtle and olive ridley turtle. But as you swim through colourful clusters of corals and seabed gardens, make sure to keep your eyes peeled for poisonous sea snakes!

CORRUPTION ROCK

This pinnacle is so tall, its top emerges from the water surface. One side of the pinnacle slopes down to 14 metres while the other side dips to depths of 30 metres. Thrill seekers can even explore a dropoff that goes down to 40 metres or more. Barracudas, jacks, snappers, tunas, eagle rays and scorpionfish can all be found flourishing here. If timed correctly, you might even encounter hundreds of different nudibranchs. Unicornfish, glassfish, damsels and triggerfish can be found in the shallower parts of the reef.
