Dive center

Lacadives

PADI 5 Star Dive Center

Lacadives are the pioneers of scuba diving in India and will give you an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Chidiya Tapu is south of Port Blair (40 min drive south from the airport), a magnificent location that has a lush and pristine heritage of natural wonders. This beautifully secluded spot is an escape from the regular crowd of visitors at Havelock islands, giving Lacadives the luxury of rarely encountering other dive boats on the reef. 

Guests are given a highly personalized experience, where instead of a multitude of divers crowding the boat, we focus on each diver’s individual comfort and minimize our footprint on the reefs. 

Chidiya Tapu also has great exploration opportunities on land; one can walk to the lighthouse, visit the biological reserve and observe many species endemic to the Andaman. It is a paradise for bird-watchers; avid enthusiasts will enjoy the drive down from Port Blair. It's also believed to be the best place to see sunsets on the Andaman Islands. 15 minutes away from our dive center lies a shipwreck, the remnants of an East India Company cargo boat that sank in 1918, making for a breath-taking view and yet another amazing feature of the location! 

The outer edges of the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park and the islands of Rutland and Cinque have a number of potential dive sites yet to be explored. From the dives that we have done in the area so far, we know that these waters offer some spectacular diving. So come, do some exploring with Lacadives and who knows – you just might get to name a new dive site!

What to expect

This course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives. You try out different specialties while gaining experience under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. You log dives and develop capabilities as you find new ways to have fun scuba diving. You’ll plan your learning path with your instructor by choosing from a long list of Adventure Dives. There are two required dives – Deep and Underwater Navigation – and you choose the other three, for a total of five dives. During the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving. The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive refines your compass navigation skills and helps you better navigate using kick-cycles, visual landmarks and time. The other knowledge and skills you get vary with your interest and the adventures you have – photography, buoyancy control, fish identification, exploring wrecks and many more.
