From the moment you step into our center at Govind Nagar on Havelock Island, the emphasis on safety, personalized instruction, and top-tier equipment is unmistakable. We believe that the ocean belongs to everyone, whether you are a curious first-timer eager to take your first breath underwater or a seasoned diver looking to log dozens of new adventures. Our team’s deep local knowledge transforms every dive from a simple activity into an immersive exploration of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands’ most treasured reef systems and marine habitats.

The foundation of every great dive is the instructor by your side and the gear you wear, and we have invested heavily in both.

Paired with meticulously maintained, modern equipment, this expertise ensures you feel confident, comfortable, and free to focus on the breathtaking coral gardens, playful reef fish, and gentle sea turtles that call these waters home.

Dive Courses & Certification Programs

We deliver structured scuba education that turns a passion into a lifelong skill. Our PADI-certified curriculum covers the full spectrum of proficiency, empowering you to explore deeper and more independently. Whether you are testing the waters with a short resort program or committing to a professional-level certification, the progression is logical, supportive, and hands-on.

Discover Scuba Diving

For those with zero experience, this introductory program is the perfect snapshot of the underwater realm. After a concise briefing on basic safety and equipment, you’ll enter the water in a strictly controlled, shallow environment under the direct supervision of an instructor. It is an ideal way to gauge your comfort and curiosity before enrolling in a full course, available at a special price of ₹7500.

Open Water Diver Course

This is the global gold standard for beginner certifications. Over several days, you combine knowledge development with confined-water skill practice and four open-water dives. Upon completion, you earn a license to dive anywhere in the world to a depth of 18 meters, making it the most rewarding investment in your diving future.

Advanced & Specialty Courses

Already certified? Expand your capabilities with advanced buoyancy workshops, deep diving specializations, underwater navigation, and night diving. These focused modules build confidence and open up a broader range of dive sites, including deeper walls and drift dives that are inaccessible to novices. Our instructors tailor each specialty to the unique conditions of Havelock’s reefs.

Guided Diving Experiences

Certified divers looking to maximize their time underwater can join our guided dive trips designed around the island’s finest locations. We match dive groups to appropriate skill levels, ensuring everyone enjoys a safe and exhilarating outing. Your guide’s intimate familiarity with local currents, visibility patterns, and marine life hotspots elevates each dive from a standard exploration to a personalized safari.

Boat Dives

Many of Havelock’s most iconic sites—including vibrant coral walls and secluded pinnacles—are best accessed by our custom dive boats. A typical boat dive morning includes at least two tanks, surface intervals with refreshments, and stunning coastal scenery. Expect to drift alongside barracuda, Napoleon wrasse, and dense schools of fusiliers.

Shore Diving Adventures

Available at a special price of ₹2900, our shore dives offer a flexible, low-stress entry into the water directly from the beach. This option is particularly popular among beginners who prefer a gentle, gradual transition, as well as macro photographers who enjoy spending extended time examining critter-rich sandy bottoms and shallow patch reefs.

Kayak Sea Adventures

Above the surface, our kayak excursions provide a serene yet active way to appreciate the Andaman coastline. Glide over crystalline, waist-deep waters as you navigate through hidden coves and mangrove-fringed channels. There is no motor noise—just the rhythmic dip of your paddle and the occasional splash of a jumping fish. It is a wonderful complement to diving, offering a different perspective on the island’s ecosystem and a great opportunity for birdwatching and photography.

Serving Bamboo Flat & the Andaman Islands

Strategically located on Havelock Island, we serve not only the immediate Govind Nagar and Beach No. 2 areas but also guests from Bamboo Flat, Port Blair, and across the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The island’s reliable ferry connections and our well-established local transport network make daily dive trips seamless, whether you are staying at a nearby resort or commuting from another part of the archipelago.

Our recommendations extend beyond dive sites. The team freely shares insider tips on the best times to visit Radhanagar Beach, where to find the freshest seafood, and how to plan multi-day itineraries that blend water sports, jungle treks, and cultural visits. This holistic, community-centered approach ensures you leave not just with a logbook full of stamps, but with a genuine connection to the rhythm of island life.
