The easiest snorkeling in India is the shallow reef off Elephant Beach on Havelock and the North Bay boat trips from Port Blair. Netrani Island off Karnataka holds clearer water than the Goa coast, and Grande Island off Goa is usually combined with a boat cruise.
Season in India: October to May, when the sea is calm and visibility is at its best.
