	Andaman Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Within the sea to the east of the main Great Andaman island group is Barren Island, an active volcano (the only presently active volcano associated with the Indian subcontinent).
		Its volcanic activity is due to the ongoing subduction of the India Plate beneath the Andaman island arc, which forces magma to rise in this location of the Burma Plate.
		The volcanic island of Narcondam which lies further to the north was also formed by this process; however it has not recently been active.

		There is a vast variety of life in the seas all around the islands, from sharks and sting rays to fish of all shapes and sizes, not forgetting an enormous variety of crustaceans in the water, on the beach and on dry land.
		The Coco islands to the north received their name from the abundance of coconut palms growing there from times immemorial and it cannot be mere coincidence that these islands were just out of reach of aboriginal Andamanese canoes.

		A part of India, the Andaman Islands are one of the world's newest diving destinations and have yet to be properly explored for diving.

		Although in many of the near shore areas the visibility is limited, the offshore islands such as Passage Island, Barren Island, and Narcondam are rich in marine life-huge fish, sharks, manta rays, unbelievable coral growth-and are blessed with crystal-clear water.
