Scuba diving for beginners

The white-sand beaches and crystal clear waters of the Andaman Islands have been a must-visit destination among ocean lovers from all around the world. A few of them like to spend time just sitting by the white sand beach and looking at the pristine blue water with their loved ones. Some of them go to explore the ocean while participating in fantastic water sports during their holidays. Other love hopping beaches around these islands.

The most desired adventure water sport is scuba diving in Andaman. As per our 15 years’ experience, 8 tourists out of 10 would like to go scuba diving. Sometimes it is not possible for the tourists to complete a full scuba diving certification course due to either they don’t have enough time or they feel the certification course is not really their cup of tea. Those tourists look for an activity, which lets them feel the thrill of underwater as well as explore the exotic coral reef and colourful fish.

Kids should be above 8 years and should be physically and mentally fit to dive.
