The story
Nicholson Island is an uninhabited island in Ritchie's Archipelago, part of the Andamans, about 52 km north-east of Port Blair. It belongs to South Andaman district and Port Blair taluk, and lies to the west of Peel Island. Its name honours Brigadier-General John Nicholson, an officer of the East India Company.
The island's main draw lies underwater: the water around Wall Point, at its southern end, is one of the principal diving sites used by tourists in these waters.
