What customers are saying:

I had the best experience with Avathi Outdoors when I tried scuba diving for the first time. Price is also reasonable and definitely worth the experience.

The trainers are absolutely lovely and are patient and encouraging. The dive itself was mesmerizing. I would recommend them any time especially for first timers and non swimmers.

Awesome experience.. very professional team, very interactive and detailed training and wonderful support while scube diving. The whole team is amazing. Everyone should go for scuba diving once in a lifetime and I'm sure they will keep going again and again as they start once diving and will be falling in love with the ocean.

I did 2 fun dives and it was amazing! They made sure that we were well prepared right from the beginning with clear communication. And their dive center is pretty cool. It was well organised and well thought out.

Probably one of the best dive centers I've come across. Our instructor Naveen was really so helpful and made sure we had an excellent time. Ajay took some really good underwater footage that I can now use for my videos!

Scuba Diving in Pondicherry FAQs

What happens if I run out of air? 

Firstly, it is highly unlikely that this will ever happen. During your PADI Open Water Diver course you will be taught how to monitor your air supply frequently and you will learn that we never dive until the tank is empty, we always end the dive before air supply becomes an issue. You will also learn several different ways to deal with an “out of air situation” safely so in the unlikely event that you did run out you will have the skills required to manage the situation.

How long will my dive last for?

The dive will last for 30 minutes in the sea. 

How deep will I have to dive?

You will experience another world wearing scuba equipment with one of our Instructors diving to a maximum depth of 12 meters into the Bay of Bengal.

I wear glasses, can I still dive?

Yes absolutely. One option is to dive in contact lenses – daily disposables are best in case you lose one during some of the mask skills which can happen from time to time. 

I’m not much of a reader, will I manage the theory?

Yes. The PADI Open Water Diver course is designed to make it accessible to everyone. We are certain that you will manage to learn what is required to sail past the Explore Scuba Diving Course. Our fun and knowledgeable instructors will guide through every step. You may also feel free to ask the instructors to ask any doubts during the session. 

Will there be dangerous marine life?

This depends entirely on where you are diving and what you understand by “dangerous”. In some areas there are corals or plants which may sting if you brush up against them. Most marine animals do not attack and have stingers for defensive reasons only. Your instructor will explain to you how to interact with marine life in an observatory way which means you will experience some great encounters with many wonderful species. The golden rule is not to touch anything – most humans would be annoyed if something they didn’t know came into their environment and poked them!

I’m not a strong swimmer, is this going to be a problem?

This course is designed for everyone. It is not necessary to be a strong swimmer or have any prior knowledge of scuba diving to do this course.

Also, there will one instructor per diver diving along with you.

What is the lower and upper age limit for scuba diving?
