Come experience life in the idyllic Andamans, and learn to dive while you are at it.

We want you to be good divers, and will do whatever it takes to get you there.

The package includes:

  • All meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
  • SSI Open Water certification (PADI also possible - see below)

It is possible to do an Advanced Course as an extension to this package. To do so, please plan to stay 3 additional nights (priced as above) and pay Rs 8000 extra for the SSI Advanced Adventurer course (PADI also possible - see below).

3 main benefits: (i) improve your diving skills and retention after you leave, (2) learn to dive up to 30m while visiting some of the highlight sites of the Andamans and (3) get a great price.

Please note the following:

  • You can substitute a PADI Course for an SSI OW Course for Rs 2,500 extra. The main reason for the difference is the extra cost of the manual that you are required to purchase as part of the PADI course, and the cost of having these manuals mailed to you

  • Add Rs 400 per day to the Standard Hut prices for an Upgraded Hut

  • In case you need extra time to complete the course, we will be happy to do so at no extra charge; however, in such cases, this extra instruction will replace the 2 additional fun dives that are included in the package above unless you extend your stay to match the number of days of extra instruction that you need.

This package is available year-long.

4) "New Season" Diver Special

Traditionally, August to October have been termed the off-season in the Andamans. However, based on our recent findings, this period actually offers some really special diving in terms of fish life and activity. Yes, it is true that there are occasional showers, but the seas are mostly flat and our dive sites tend to be accessible. Most importantly, the number of fish that can be seen increases dramatically during this period - we have seen schools of 30 manta rays go soaring by, been funnelled by over 300 barracudas, been surrounded by a swirling shoal of over 500 fusiliers and lot more.

We are offering the following package for divers during this period:

  • 6 nights accommodation
  • All meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
  • 5 days/10 dives
  • 1 night dive
  • All gear and divemaster fees
  • All pickups and transfers in Port Blair and Havelock
