North Bay Island in March
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
Go in March — peak season delivers perfect visibility for snorkeling and diving, water temps hover at 28°C, and all marine activities run without weather delays.
Peak crowds
March is one of North Bay Island's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Andaman water-sports island busiest Oct–May during calm seas and clear skies; Jun–Sep monsoon/cyclone season sees fewest divers and snorkelers.
March at North Bay holds most of February's underwater clarity at lower travel costs. Visibility eases from 30m to 25-28m - the difference is barely registering on a glass-bottom hull. Air 27-32C, water 28-29C, humidity climbing toward 78 percent. Glass-bottom boats run their full timetable; sea-walk and beginner scuba slots that book out solid in February become walk-in available by March 15. The 20-minute crossing from Phoenix Bay is uninterrupted. PB-side hotel rates drop 25-30 percent versus January. Heat is real on the open boat - sunblock, hat, water bottle become non-optional. The reef has its first plankton-bloom days in the last week, which can drop visibility to 18-22m for 24-48 hours at a stretch but rarely longer.
