Cinque Island
North Cinque Island, South Andaman
11.31400°N, 92.71400°E
Uninhabited twin islands south of Port Blair, joined by a sandbar. Lacadives runs Cinque as a Chidiya Tapu day trip. Seahawks Scuba publishes 4–25 m, black coral, boulders and walls. Structured depth uses that operator range; the map mark is the North Cinque island, not a mooring.
