M.V. Mars Wreck Dive Site

M.V. Mars Wreck Dive Site is an underwater shipwreck dive site located off the coast of Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island) in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. The wreck of the cargo vessel M.V. Mars rests on the seabed at shallow depth and has become an artificial reef. It is notable as a popular scuba diving site known for accessible depth, marine life colonization, and clear waters, attracting certified divers and beginners with instructor-led dives.

Visitors can expect a boat ride from Swaraj Dweep to an open-water dive site where the wreck of M.V. Mars lies on a sandy seabed at shallow depth. The site is accessed only with licensed dive operators. Underwater, divers can see the largely intact wreck structure colonized by corals and sponges, surrounded by reef fish and other marine life. Visibility is generally good in season. No permanent structures exist at the site itself; all services are provided by dive boats.
