Yes! For our introduction programs, no swimming skills are required. You can do a Discover Scuba Diving program, down to 12 meters, along with a qualified instructor, or even enroll for our Scuba Diver Program!

It’s actually safer than driving to the dive centre in the morning. All courses and diving experiences include briefings on safety procedures. All our instructors and divemasters are professionals with international qualifications not only in Scuba Diving, but also in Emergency First Response. They will make sure you’re having a fun time while staying 100% safe.

Well, that depends on you, your breathing rate, and the depth you are diving at. If you are taking up your PADI Open Water course you will learn all about it. Having said so, we’re trying to have all DSDs spend between 20–30 minutes underwater, and certified divers can stay longer depending on their experience and the conditions of the dive.

Each course and diving experience has a fixed price, and these prices have been set to offer the possibility of diving to the largest amount of people, while not accepting any compromise on the quality of service and equipment.

Course and programme timings vary depending on the activity and conditions. Our team will confirm your exact reporting and session time during booking.

From half a day to half a year, we have experiences, courses and programs for everyone. Our complete price list also contains the duration of each program. Have a look!

If you haven’t been diving for a while, you should probably consider taking a “refresher” course to go over the standard skills and procedures again. How long is “a while”? It depends on your previous diving experience and certification level. Have a chat with our instructors and get a tailor-made refresher.

In the sea! We leave from the harbour and head out to between 3 and 15km from shore. Some of our sites feature sand bottom and artificial reef, some deeper sites a rocky bottom and gorgeous landscape. Please see our dive sites information for more details.

We are open 365 days a year! There is always fun to be had and great underwater experiences to enjoy. Having said so, February–April and September–November are among the best months for scuba diving in Pondicherry. Changes in currents produce calm and still waters and 20m–30m visibility.

A wide range of corals, lionfish, grouper, kingfish, moray eels, torpedo rays, parrot fish, sea snakes, triggerfish, butterfly fish, angels, banner fish, crustaceans and, if you’re lucky, eagle rays, manta rays, whale sharks, turtles and dolphins!

Not at this stage – all our dive sites are a few kilometers away from the shore, and at depths that make them available only to scuba divers. But stay tuned! We might be able to answer the numerous requests for a snorkeling site in the near future.

We are located in several places all across India. Visit our locations page to know more.
