Sea Walk In North Bay

Sea walking at North Bay Island (located just off Port Blair in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands) is one of the most thrilling and accessible underwater adventures, allowing non-swimmers to walk right along the ocean floor. Unlike scuba diving, which requires specialized training and equipment, sea walking lets you breathe naturally underwater through a specially designed oxygen-fed helmet that rests comfortably on your shoulders. Your journey begins with a short boat ride from Port Blair to the North Bay floating platform, where expert instructors provide a quick, comprehensive briefing on safety signals and equalization techniques. Once you descend a sturdy ladder down into the shallow, sandy seabed—typically at a depth of about 15 to 20 feet—you are surrounded by a breathtaking, crystal-clear aquatic world. As you walk along the ocean floor, vibrant schools of tropical fish, including parrotfish, butterflyfish, and damselfish, swim right up to you, and you can marvel at colorful coral formations and diverse marine life up close. Because your head and face remain completely dry and you can wear prescription glasses inside the helmet, sea walking offers a remarkably comfortable, immersive, and unforgettable window into the underwater wonders of the Andamans.
