The world under water has always been out of reach for humans. What it looks like and the visuals it holds has fascinated us. It was only when Scuba diving practices start, that common citizens could now experience the underwater world. Scuba stands for self-contained underwater breathing apparatus. It lets divers carry their own source of compressed gas allowing them greater independence and freedom of movement underwater. The compressed air is a mixture of air and oxygen called enriched air or nitrox.
This plan lets you explore Scuba diving. This is ideal for beginners to explore, understand Scuba and finally get CERTIFIED. With us you get the SSI (Scuba Schools International)- Open Water Diver Course. This course empowers you with the certification needed to dive across the world. This is your international certification to be a clan member of the underwater diving community!
In this course, personalized training is combined with in-water practice sessions to ensure you have the skills and experience required to become truly comfortable underwater. You will have an expert team of mentors at all times. We will have mentors with each diver to assist you during the dive. These expert divers are trained in the procedures and have the skills appropriate to host you. These include standard operating procedures for using the equipment and dealing with the general hazards of the underwater environment, and emergency procedures for self-help and assistance of a similarly equipped diver experiencing problems.
Our dive site will be Havelock. Havelock offers the easiest access to clear water diving in India. The visibility is usually over 30 meters, water temperatures are in the 27 to 30 degree Celsius range. The marine life rich of the region is rich and diverse making it an explorer’s delight.
