Scuba Driving In India

Scuba diving is one of the most fun and thrilling underwater activities and with India’s long coastal line.
SCUBA (Acronym for Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus)
we have many destinations where you can dive and explore the marine life. If looking at colorful coral reefs, watching different kinds of fish swim by and learning to breathe underwater excites you, give scuba diving a try. We list top some of diving packages offered by different diving centers in different locations.
Located in the Bay of Bengal about 900km from India, the Andaman & Nicobar Islands are one of the few undiscovered gems that have escaped the clutches of mass tourism. There are no concrete-and-glass resorts offering all-inclusive deals, no nightclubs / discotheques, no shopping malls and no fancy restaurants.
