Sailing
Sailing in the Andaman Islands is nice between December to mid-March. Expect hot sunny conditions during the day, cooler nights and a steady 15 to 20 knots of wind.
Scuba Diving
Scuba diving in the Andamans is world class. With many open ocean dive sites one could see large numbers of manta rays, whale sharks, whales and sharks.
Sport Fishing
The Andaman Islands have not been commercially fished much. As a result the fish life is truly incredible. As the fish in this area generally die of old age rather than being caught, they grow to a femarkable size.
Surfing
During March, April and early May, winter storms far away in the southern Indian Ocean create huge swells that that create perfect surf breaks on the west coast of the Andaman Islands
