Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your first dive
The most popular destinations are Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep), Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep), North Bay Island, and Port Blair. Havelock is generally considered the best.
Havelock Island is a diver's paradise with crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and incredible marine biodiversity. It has a high density of PADI-certified schools, excellent shore and boat dive sites, and calm conditions suitable for all levels.
Some of the top dive sites in Havelock include Nemo Reef (perfect for shore dives), Elephant Beach, Lighthouse Reef, Tribe Gate, and Juvis. Each offers a unique underwater experience.
You can book through reputable online travel platforms, local tour operators, or by contacting PADI-certified diving schools directly. It's often recommended to book in advance, especially during the peak tourist season.
Always follow your instructor's guidance, don't touch the corals or marine life, remember to equalize your ears frequently, stay relaxed to conserve air, and ensure your gear fits properly before entering the water.
No, you do not need to know how to swim for introductory (discovery) scuba diving. You will be accompanied by a professional instructor who will guide you throughout the dive.
The best time for scuba diving in Andaman is from October to May, when the seas are calm, the visibility is excellent, and weather conditions are ideal for underwater activities.
Yes, scuba diving in Andaman is safe when done with licensed and reputable operators. They follow international safety standards (PADI/SSI), provide thorough training and briefings, and maintain well-kept equipment.
Wear comfortable swimwear or a quick-dry shirt and shorts. A wetsuit will be provided by the dive center to be worn over your swimwear. Avoid shoes, heels, or boots — flip-flops are best for the shop.
Yes. People with respiratory illnesses (like asthma), heart conditions, severe high/low blood pressure, or who are pregnant should generally not dive. A medical questionnaire is mandatory before diving, and you may need a doctor's clearance.
Most diving centers offer underwater photography and videography services as part of the package or for an additional fee. It's a great way to capture your experience.
Yes! Andaman is one of the best places in India for PADI and SSI certification courses, such as Open Water Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver.
An Open Water Diver course typically takes 3 to 4 days, while the Advanced Open Water Diver course takes 2 to 3 days. It includes theory, confined water training, and open water dives.
Yes, for certification courses (unlike discovery dives), you generally need basic swimming skills, such as being able to swim 200 metres and float/tread water for 10 minutes.
Absolutely. PADI and SSI certifications obtained in the Andaman Islands are internationally recognised and valid at dive centres around the world for a lifetime.

Had a fab experience. And I had done scuba diving before in Spain and still my experience with Dive Master was sooo much better. Was a little scary during the training but a piece if advice don't quit even if you are scared. One on one diver will be there with you and you will have a blast. Thanks to my diver, Leah was superb!!!

Exceptional Service and an Unforgettable Experience!
We booked a private charter for island hopping, snorkelling, fun fishing and sunset, it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish.
Shayam was exceptionally professional in handling the booking, clearly explaining what was included and reassuring us about refund options in case of bad weather. His approach gave us great confidence even before we set off.
The crew were truly outstanding. They genuinely cared about ensuring we had the best possible time. Dipesh, Deepak, Laya, and the cameraman went above and beyond to make the trip memorable. Their kindness and encouragement helped my wife, who’s usually afraid of water, enjoy snorkelling for the first time and she absolutely loved it.
The speedboat ride around the islands was thrilling, and snorkelling at Wilson Island was breathtaking, we explored a magical underwater world under perfect sunlight. Fun fishing was also a highlight, as we caught several groupers, triggers, and snappers. To top it off, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset to end the day.
It was a truly wonderful experience, and we’ll definitely do it again.

This was my 3rd scuba diving experience and was the best one till now. I had booked for gold package which costed around 4.5k per person. Dive master Deepak and Albert were very supportive. We were initially trained for 15-20 minutes at Nemo beach and later went to Red pillar for actual dive. I was able to go as deep as 12 m. Found Nemo, Lion fish, Sting ray, Rainbow fish and lot more.

Our very first scuba diving experience..and what an incredible one it was with The Dive Master! From the moment we arrived, everything felt safe, exciting, and so well-organized. A huge shoutout to our amazing dive masters, Albert and Don, who made the entire dive unforgettable. They were patient, friendly, and highly professional..guiding us every step of the way and never leaving our side for a second.
The underwater world they showed us was beyond anything we could have imagined, surreal, vibrant, and absolutely magical. If you’ve ever dreamed of exploring the ocean, The Dive Master is the team to do it with. Perfect for beginners and experienced divers alike! 100% recommended!

Lovely first time experience of a deep dive. Sam, my instructor was very professional and was concerned for safety at all times.
Would suggest to have more time for training, so as to not get afraid during the actual dives.

Had an awesome experience with the dive masters ! Best thing is they provide pick up and drop facility from your hotel without any cost which is a big relief when you're leaving early morning. They gave early instructions and made us feel comfortable before the dive which I feel is really important. A big thank you to my instructor, Deepak who ensured I do not panic or face any issues underwater. Highly recommend even if you are going for the first time !! 🙌🙌

We went here to do scuba diving.
when you enter they give you a little biref, then they ask you to keep your belongings on the shelf and give you consent form to fill. After that they give you clothes to change. They have changing rooms. Then they take you to the beach where a diver will tell you how to breathe and sign important for the dive. They give you time to practice. Then on a boat you go to the diving location. There you wear the cylinders and masks and jump into the ocean. The diver will hold you from the very beginning and there is no safety risk. They click you pictures and shoot a small video as well. I just hope they increase the area of the dive.
So many poeple in such small space. You can neither see anything properly nor your pictures will come good. There will always be someone photo bombing. Also I feel the photos look pretty fake because they ask everyone to make the same poses. There is nothing candid. Other than that great experience.

One of the best Dive Centres I have been to. I did my Advanced Open water course here and I have to say they are really phenomenal. I had Saurav as my instructor, a.k.a Panda and he was really fun and easy going. The biggest difference that I felt here was that these guys know to keep the fun in diving. Otherwise dive centres are very business like. If you are someone who is a little apprehensive of Diving, or scared of water! This is the place you want to learn.

This is one of the best dive centres in Havelock. I did my advanced scuba certification from here and it was so good. The pacing of the dives were comfortable, no rush to finish the course on their time which is a welcome effort. They made it so easy to learn that it didn’t feel like a course, more like friends doing diving. Panda, our instructor understands you so well, he gives the right solutions to make you feel at ease.

I recently had my first scuba diving experience at The Dive Master with Instructor Sam, and it was absolutely fantastic! Training was thorough and made me feel completely safe and confident underwater. The instructor's patience and clear guidance turned what could have been a daunting experience into a thrilling adventure. The vibrant marine life we explored was breathtaking, and I can't wait to dive again. Highly recommend The Dive Master for an unforgettable scuba diving experience!

I recently had the opportunity to dive with The dive masters scuba, and as a beginner diver, I was thoroughly impressed by the level of care and attention given to novice divers. The instructors, especially Sam, provided clear and detailed instructions, emphasizing safety above all else.
Sam’s patience with beginners like myself was commendable, as he dedicated time to ensure my comfort and confidence beneath the water's surface. His expertise and support fostered a sense of trust and enthusiasm, enabling me to fully appreciate the marvels of the underwater realm.
I wholeheartedly endorse Sam as an instructor for anyone looking to explore the world of scuba diving.
Sam, here are my Tamil reviews for you.

Last year I went diving at this school with a friend who had just gotten certified. They took great care of us both at all times. They kept an eye on my friend throughout the entire dive. The entire team was very friendly and cordial. They invited us to coffees and as we finished the dive they provided us with the photos and videos they took of us during the dive, all at no extra cost. Highly recommended.

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a scuba diving adventure with The Dive Master. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a warm and friendly team. My Diver, Manoj, was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also very supportive throughout the entire experience.
The dive itself was nothing short of extraordinary. As a first time diver, I was initially nervous, but my instructor's guidance quickly put me at ease. The underwater world we explored was nothing short of breathtaking – from vibrant coral reefs to colorful marine life, every moment felt like a surreal journey into another realm. I also want to thank Akash, my photographer who helped me capture so many beautiful moments and made this such a memorable experience.
Overall, my scuba diving experience with The Dive Master was an unforgettable one. The combination of friendly staff, supportive instructors, and awe-inspiring underwater scenery made it a truly memorable adventure. Whether you're a seasoned diver or someone looking to dip their toes into the world of scuba, I highly recommend giving them a try. You won't be disappointed!"

A life time experience I would say. The whole crew of TDM is amazing. Mr. Deepak (trainer) was very patient and he in a very calm & composed nature guided and trained us. My wife who was very afraid was handled beautifully by him. Even they were short of time but still they hold it for us and the crew members were humble and gentlemen. They continuously encouraged her. Mr. Sam & Mr. Deepesh were our diving instructors. They beautifully took us through the whole experience. My wife wasn’t able to go to the whole depth of 18 meters but they still managed to take her to 4-5 meters and she enjoyed it comfortably. They give their best so that we can draw best from the amount we paid. Totally worth it.
