Important

Our course price includes the cost of the PADI eManual. If you prefer eLearning we offer a discount on the course when you affiliate the code with ScubaLov. Please read the PADI Medical Statement instructions before signing up, as we need a self or doctor's declaration that you are fit to dive!

If you don’t like reading a book (i.e., the PADI eManual), we offer the PADI eLearning, which is a convenient and flexible way to complete the knowledge development portion of PADI scuba diving courses online, at your own pace. This allows divers to learn the theory from anywhere with internet access and spend more time on the practical, in-water training during their diving trip.

  • Engaging Learning Experience: Unlike the eManual, eLearning utilizes interactive videos, animations, and quizzes to make learning enjoyable and effective.
  • Skill Improvement: Online learning allows for continuous skill review and improvement, ensuring you are well-prepared for your practical sessions.
  • Confidence Building: By mastering the theoretical aspects online, you can feel more confident and comfortable during your in-water training. 
  • Access to Updated Materials: PADI eLearning provides access to the latest course materials and updates, ensuring you have the most current information.

When you sign up for PADI eLearning through ScubaLov, we offer you a discount of 6,000 INR on the PADI Advanced Open Water Course.

I use prescription medication. Can I dive?

It depends on the medication and your health condition. Before diving, you’ll need to fill out a medical form. If you answer “yes” to any questions, you’ll need clearance from a doctor to ensure it’s safe for you to dive. Safety first!

If you have any pre-existing medical condition, you will need a medical clearance from your doctor/physician. If you are above 50 years of age, you will need a medical clearance from your doctor/physician even if you have no medical conditions. If you are under 50 years of age and have no medical conditions, you can sign a self-declaration.

Even if you’re a doctor, it’s recommended to have another medical professional sign your form. This ensures an unbiased evaluation of your fitness to dive and aligns with diving safety protocols.

We strongly advise that you check the PADI Medical Statement before signing up for a course and traveling to the Andaman. We will need to see a medical clearance in case of a pre-existing medical condition, or when you above 50 years of age,  without it you cannot dive! On the island, you will not find a doctor who can assess your medical condition.

If, for some reason, your course is left incomplete, we will be able to refund you some money for what is left to be done. You can complete the course with us at a later date or you can obtain a referral form from us to complete your course elsewhere within 12 months time.

You can do up to three dives a day, subject to availability and pre-booking.

If it has been more than 6 months since you last dived, we advise you to undertake a ‘Refresher’ course, to revisit standard scuba diving skills and safety procedures. Our ‘full refresher’ is inclusive of one shore dive, while the ‘lite refresher’ includes two boat dives.

Both Neil and Havelock Islands are fantastic for scuba diving certifications! Havelock, while slightly more crowded, offers iconic dive sites and vibrant marine life, and Neil is quieter and more weather dependent, with untouched reefs and plentiful fishes, perfect for learning. Choose based on your vibe—adventurous or peaceful! We strongly advise you to sign up for our combo packages and dive on both Havelock and Neil Islands to experience the greatness of the Andamans.
