Semi Submarine in Andaman

See the sea from below without getting wet. A semi submarine ride in Andaman with Andaman Emerald Tour takes you into a specially built vessel with an underwater viewing deck, where large windows open onto coral reefs, shoals of fish, and the shifting blue light beneath the surface. There is no swimming, no diving gear, and no need to change clothes. You simply sit back in a comfortable cabin and watch the marine world drift past your window.
