About S.S. Inchkett Wreck Dive Site
S.S. Inchkett Wreck is an underwater shipwreck dive site located off the coast of Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island) in the Andaman Islands. The wreck is the remains of a British cargo steamship that sank in the late 1950s and now rests at a depth of about 30-35 metres. Notable for its intact structure and rich marine life, it is regarded as one of Andaman's premier wreck dives for experienced divers.
