About the experience
The ocean is a mysterious realm. Deep, dark and vast, under its shimmering surface, a world thrives away from civilization. Jellyfish with delicate translucent tentacles, fish with colorful fins, and anemones that dot the ocean floor create a surreal environment, with beauty that can only be believed when you see it with your own two eyes.
Scuba diving is a wonderful way to experience the magic of the ocean as you travel into the hidden world underwater. The Bay of Bengal swirls around Pondicherry, and under its dark swells lurk beautiful reefs, underwater caves, vibrant schools of fish, and a variety of marine flora.
This PADI Open Water Scuba Diving Course is the best way to dip your toes into the exciting watersport of scuba diving while exploring the mysterious Bay of Bengal. As a certified Open Water Scuba Diver, you can join a certified dive buddy and descend up to 18 meters underwater. The best part of this comprehensive course is that your scuba diving certificate will be recognized internationally! Over time, you can explore the iconic dive sites around the globe and experience the beauty of travel, under the glittering waves of the ocean.
The PADI Open Water Scuba Diving Course doesn’t take any short cuts as the master divers guide you through the art of scuba diving. During this 3 day course, you can build your scuba diving skills until you’re confident enough to brave the open water and navigate its depths seamlessly. The course ensures that there is one day spent in the pool and quarry developing your skills before heading to the deep blue and getting your dive on! You can scroll down for a breakdown of your course schedule in the itinerary section.
Although you don’t have to be a strong swimmer to take up this course, you should be able to swim non-stop and unaided for 200 meters or should be able to swim with snorkeling gear for 300 meters. Being comfortable in the water is key when it comes to learning scuba diving, so make sure you practice your swimming skills beforehand.
Water covers around 71% of the earth’s surface. Through this scuba diving course, you’re one step closer to discovering the unknown secrets of this ancient planet we call our home.

Thank you so much to all the instructors and people at Temple Adventurers. I'm a non-swimmer who has a fear of water, but the way everyone took care of me was so great. The first pool session was good, and the dive was a bit worrying due to fear. But once my instructor took me down, the world was totally different. I was excited and nervous, and it's going to be a core memory in my life. Thank you, Temple Adventurers. I recommend everyone to try scuba diving once in a lifetime with the OG Temple Adventure where you don’t need to worry about anything; they will take care of everything, and you just need to follow them.
