Melissa, our dive centre Manager, is a very familiar face in the local Andaman diving community. She moved to the islands on a whim over a decade ago and made Havelock her home. In 2011, she became one of the first female PADI dive instructors and also the first SSI female instructor to teach diving in the country.

A very strong and capable swimmer, staying calm underwater comes very naturally to her and she loves diving in currents and challenging conditions. Over time, she has built up a wealth of dive experience and has taught thousands of students how to dive.
