Learn to Scuba In Your City (Mumbai) and practice social distancing underwater (On a weekend or even a weekday). We are flexible and will be happy to customize it to your needs.
Scuba diving is an exciting and a new age sport which is taking over the world and can now be experienced and learnt in Mumbai and the outskirts.
We have three programs as follows :
- Try Scuba (Non-swimmers are welcome)
- PADI Open Water Certification (Swimmers only)
- Scuba Refresher (Swimmers and certified divers)
1. Try Scuba
If you’ve watched your friend or a Bollywood star scuba dive but aren’t sure if you would be able to enjoy it as much and doubt your swimming abilities (Non-swimmers are welcome), we have the Try Scuba program especially for you.
Our experienced instructor will guide you through some basic safety skills and give you a short introduction about the scuba equipment before you experience your first breath underwater. This hour-long program (Land briefing + one dive in the pool) is to introduce you to the scuba equipment which will help you breathe underwater like a fish.
You may decide to take the PADI Open Water Course after this, if you wish to explore the gorgeous marine life in our oceans.
Please note that Try Scuba is not a certified course and is only an experience which could (I’m sure it will) open the gates to 78% of our Earth's surface (Water).

2. PADI Open Water Certification (Confined/Pool sessions only)
To drive a car, one needs a driver’s license. To be able to rent scuba equipment and go diving (With a dive buddy of course) one needs a diver’s license.
The PADI Open Water Certification allows one to go diving anywhere around the world, up to a depth of 18 metres (59 feet).
Pre-requisites :

Debriefing.
Day 2 includes some more safety skills in and underwater, practicing those safety skills and some fun games. Debriefing and end of the city/pool part of the training.

On successfully completing the online theory and the 2 half days of pool training, you can now go to any dive destination of your choice (With the referral form we have filled in) to the more exciting part of your course, the open water dives.
You will need to complete 4 dives in the open water (Can be a lake, sea or the ocean) which can be typically completed in 2 days (2 half days). The skills which were practiced in the pool will need to be demonstrated to the instructor who is taking you diving. On successfully completing the dives, you will be a PADI Open Water Diver.

3. Scuba Refresher (For swimmers and certified divers)
If you are a certified diver who has not been diving for a long time or has booked a diving trip, especially a liveaboard one (Living on a yacht for say a week and diving at least thrice a day), the Scuba Refresher program is highly recommended for you.
This includes getting back to some knowledge about the scuba system, how to kit up and de-kit, which would be followed by safety skills underwater.
The intent of the Scuba Refresher program is to make you feel comfortable and safe enough to enjoy from the very first dive on your dive trip.
