Only dives: fun dives and night dives

We have a number of options to help you continue your education, and our instructors and up-to-date equipment are at your disposal. Lakshadweep Scuba Adventures has the most experienced and highly qualified instructors in the country, and has trained the highest number of professionals and scuba divers. We follow the buddy system on every dive.

Fun diving

The divers’ day at Lakshadweep Scuba Adventures begins at 7:00 a.m. Early morning dives are usually refreshing, and it is a good time to see sharks, dolphins and rays.

Certified divers go to sites we plan ahead of time around their interests and skills and the state of the sea. Just before you get in the water, the instructors give a full briefing on safety and on the site. Back at the dive centre, we log the dives, talk about the fish and corals we saw and share photographs from the trip.

We also run night dives. Many marine animals are nocturnal, so the reef at night is a different place.

For students of diving, the schedule of activities can vary and is decided by the course instructor.

Staying several days?

Most certified divers come for several days. The Fun Dive Package puts your dives, your stay in an AC dormitory, the AC Lodge or the Beach Resort, your meals, your entry permit fee, airport pickup and drop, and equipment in one price per head: 8, 10, 14 or 20 dives, with 4, 5, 7 or 9 nights. It is linked beside the dates.
