It allows participants to explore the stunning underwater landscapes of the Andaman Sea under the guidance of a certified PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) instructor.

Best Time:

During these months, the weather is more stable, and the seas are calmer, providing optimal conditions for diving. Monsoon season, which occurs from May to September, can bring rough seas and reduced visibility, making it less favorable for diving activities.

Favorable Weather Conditions:

The weather in the Andamans is generally warm and tropical throughout the year. During the dry season (November to April), temperatures range from 24°C to 30°C (75°F to 86°F), with lower humidity and calm seas. This period is considered the peak tourist season.

Important Points to Consider:

No swimming skills required.
Participants must be aged between 10 and 50 years with no medical conditions, those over 50 require a doctor’s certificate.
Allow 24 hours between diving and flights.
No major surgeries within the past year.
Heart or blood pressure issues are not permitted.
Travelers with sinus problems are not allowed.

How does it work

Upon arrival at the dive shop, you’ll complete an indemnity and medical form.
Once cleared and fitted into a wetsuit, you’ll watch a detailed training video before proceeding to the beach with your instructor.
There, you’ll learn underwater communication and basic skills before embarking on your dive, guided by your instructor, to depths of up to 12 meters.
Upon completion, you’ll receive an online PADI DSD Certificate.

Thrilling Underwater Exploration:

Experience the thrill of exploring the mesmerizing underwater world of the Andaman Sea. Witness vibrant coral reefs, diverse marine life, and possibly encounter exotic fish and other fascinating creatures.

Sense of Achievement:

Experience a sense of accomplishment as you successfully complete the scuba diving skills and explore the underwater environment. Overcoming any initial apprehensions can be incredibly rewarding.

Increased Appreciation for Marine Life:

Gain a deeper appreciation for the marine environment and the importance of conservation. Seeing marine life in its natural habitat often fosters a greater understanding of the need to protect and preserve these ecosystems.
