What People Say About Us
Right from start I was comfortable. They ensured I was comfortable during my in-water training. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Instructors and Dive masters were great. Provided me with a lot of time to get used to water. Photos & videos came out fantastic.
Praveen Durgirala, India
Did a fun dive with the team. Had a great time, saw so much sea life. The Dive master was very professional and took care of everything. I just relaxed and enjoyed my dive. Highly recommend.
Shishir Chand, Canada
An intimate and highly professional dive shop in Havelock. Devlina and Hari are highly experienced divers who made sure our dives were safe, both for us & the reefs, enjoyable and informative. There are many bigger dive shops in the island but we chose to go with Dev and Hari as you feel well taken care of and the people experience is something you do not want to miss. It is like being a part of the dive family.
