Dive Spot Guide•
Bus Stop
Bus Stop is a beginner-friendly Neil Island boat dive with a gentle slope.
Local operator required
Bus Stop is typically visited with a local Neil Island operator rather than as an independent shore entry.
Plan it as a local-operator boat dive on the west side of Neil Island, with gentle reef steps, garden eels, and easy buoyancy practice.
About Bus Stop
Bus Stop is a beginner-friendly boat dive on Neil Island in the Andaman Islands, centered on a gentle sandy slope with scattered rock patches and small reef steps. The site rewards relaxed buoyancy work with garden eels, soft coral patches, and a steady mix of reef fish, while the western-side location makes it a classic local-operator dive rather than a casual beach stop.
