“Reefs and islands, with the marine park fees always included”
A dive and snorkel operator that publishes marine park fees in the headline price because hiding them is how the industry got its reputation.
Instruction was patient — I came in nervous and finished wanting to book the next level. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Good value for what's included.
Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Would book with them again.
Conditions were poor for two of the days, which nobody can control, but the schedule wasn't adjusted. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.
Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.
Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Would send friends their way.

Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. No hesitation recommending them.
Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Solid operator.
Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Would book with them again.
Five to ten metres on a good day, which is modest — this is not the Andamans. What it is, is the closest real dive site to Mumbai and Pune by a very long way.
