Dive Centers in the Andaman Islands

This page carries 6 schools. 6 are in the register and 6 name a training body. Read 2026-09-24.

6 are in the SSI register, which is a third party saying the business is listed and nothing more. Everything else is what the school states on its own site, quoted and dated. Nobody assessed any of them.

Every watersports business in and around the Andaman Islands that SSI publishes in its own register of affiliated centres, read on 24 September 2026. 6 in total: 6 by SSI. Each entry links to the register page it was read from, so the affiliation can be checked at the source rather than taken from here. 6 publish a website in the register. Absence means nothing on this page, and that is the important sentence on it. These are membership registers, not licences: a school that is not in them may simply not have joined, or may teach under a body that publishes no list at all. So this page is what these bodies list here and never the schools of Andaman Islands. What a listing proves is narrow. It says the body registers this business, on the date given. It says nothing about the teaching, the equipment, the boats or whether the school is open this season, and none of these businesses was assessed by anybody for this page. Nothing here was read on the operators' own sites yet, so this page carries no training body beyond the register's own, no languages and no quotes.

On a dive page, Green Fins means a named third party visited the business and scored it. Nothing on this page is like that. What is here is a register entry for 6 of them, and for the rest what the school states on its own site, quoted and dated.

What absence means here. Every business here is in one of these registers, so absence means the register does not carry the business, which is a statement about a list.

An equipment brand is not a training body. Several schools show Duotone, Cabrinha, Naish or North prominently. Those are gear sponsorships and certify nothing, so they are not recorded as affiliations, and a school that names only a brand shows a blank here.

A register entry can be opened; a claim cannot. Every affiliation taken from a register links to that body's own page for that business, so the listing can be read at the source instead of taken from here. Where a school's own words are shown instead, they are a claim with nothing behind them but the school, and they are labelled that way.

Why these registers and not others. A register earns its place here by being enumerable and citable: it has to list who is in it, and each entry has to have a page that names the business, so a reader can check the claim instead of taking it from us. Most do neither. Green Fins is the case that shows the difference, because its members are the best evidence in this directory and its member pages render the same bytes for a real centre and an invented one, so a Green Fins fact is stored with a centre id and never cited as a link. Twenty-five were tried and nine answer: what each one returned, with the date it was asked.
