    Things to Look Out For

    field notes
    1

    Diving needs more days than you think

    Open Water certification is three full days, not an afternoon. If you actually want to dive. Not just snorkel. Extend Havelock by two nights or you will only get the 20-minute intro dives.

    2

    Ferries are at the mercy of the sea, even off-season

    Inter-island ferries (Port Blair ↔ Havelock ↔ Neil) get cancelled in choppy weather. November to April is reliable, but the premium private ferries (Makruzz, Green Ocean) cost 3× the government boats and sell out three weeks ahead in peak season. Book early or risk a missed connection.

    3

    The Sound & Light show is the obvious evening, there are better ones

    Cellular Jail's nightly Sound & Light brings every Port Blair tourist into the same courtyard. A less-trafficked alternative: a sunset walking tour of Aberdeen Bazaar with a guide whose grandfather was actually held in the jail. Tibro can arrange it.

    Your Memoir

    Here's how you'll remember it.

    Cellular Jail — Port Blair, India

    Day 1. Cellular Jail, the names on the wall

    Day1
    ✦ Memoir

    The light-and-sound show at the Cellular Jail starts at six. Before that we walked the cell wing. Three storeys of solitary, each room the size of a closet, the names of those who died here carved into the wall outside the gallows. Nobody said much on the auto back to the hotel.

    Port Blair01
    Radhanagar — Havelock, India

    Day 3. Radhanagar at six, only the boatman

    Day3
    ✦ Memoir

    Beach No. 7 in low light is the version that makes the lists. We got there an hour before sunset and stayed past it. The sand goes orange, the sea goes the colour of a duck's egg, and a fisherman on the rocks at the south end was the only other person.

    Havelock02
    Elephant Beach — Havelock, India

    Day 4. Elephant Beach, mask down, the table-coral wall

    Day4
    ✦ Memoir

    The boat to Elephant Beach is twenty minutes and you can see the bottom for most of it. We snorkelled the reef on the north side. Table coral, two reef sharks well below us, and a parrotfish that came right up to my mask before deciding I wasn't worth investigating.

    Havelock03
    Neil Island — Neil Island, India

    Day 5. Neil Island, natural bridge at low tide

    Day5
    ✦ Memoir

    Neil at low tide gives you the natural bridge. A basalt arch the sea cut over a few thousand years, walkable for about forty minutes either side of dead-low. We were the only people on the rocks. A small crab carried a piece of seaweed past my foot like it had somewhere to be.
