THE
ANDAMAN ISLANDS
That
sports fishermen may now be offered a trip to the Andaman
Islands is an event in itself,
because these mysterious islands were long cut off from the world
and voluntarily closed to tourists.
Some of the islands are still
off bounds to protect aboriginal tribes.
The Andaman Islands Archipelago,
a dependency of India, is nearer to Burma (Myanmar) or Thailand
than to India. The
Archipelago is made up of 329 islands and islets at the very center
of the Bay
of Bengal, some 1200 km east of Chennai and 665 km to the west
of Phuket.
Thanks to
an exceptional submarine environment of shoals, underwater
canyons and coral reefs, as well as years of isolation and
the complete absence of commercial fisheries, the waters around
the Andaman Islands offer vast richness, not only in the quantity,
but also in the diversity of the fish, to the extent that this
region is one of the future world leaders in sport fishing.
We have a profound respect for this environment and we practice
catch-and-release fishing whenever possible, a principle which
we and our guides promote with conviction.
We
have three years experience in the Andaman Archipelago...
So, why miss this opportunity to broaden your horizons ?
