Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.

Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Simple food, well made, and enough of it.

Conditions were poor for two of the days, which nobody can control, but the schedule wasn't adjusted. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.

Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Worth every rupee.

Questions people ask
You need to be comfortable out of your depth in the sea. The beginner sessions stay in waist-deep water on a sand bottom, and an instructor is in the water with you.
