Before you book
A clear plan.
A calmer start.
Your quote depends on the season, group size and dive or activity plan. We confirm the total for your agreed plan before you book—no hidden dive-day extras.
- Time to allow
- A typical guided dive may allow around 30–40 minutes underwater, depending on the agreed plan, air consumption, certification and conditions. Briefing, local transfers and return take additional time. Confirm the full outing window and number of dives with the team.
- Who can join
- For appropriately certified divers. Share your certification, recent logged experience and comfort level before booking. The team confirms the site, depth and any refresher or medical-clearance requirements; junior and training limits still apply.
- Included in your dive
- Your agreed dive price includes local dive transport, equipment, briefing and guided support, and underwater photos/videos. Confirm the meeting point and media-sharing arrangements with the team.
- Flights or ferries to Lakshadweep, accommodation and entry-permit fees are separate. Book travel and stays with the relevant providers.

Good to know
A few things before the blue.
Do I need Advanced Open Water?
A deeper plan, potentially up to 30 metres for eligible adult divers, requires suitable training and experience. Share your existing certification; the team can suggest an outing within your actual limits. A 30-metre dive is not guaranteed.
Can I choose a particular dive site?
Tell us which site interests you. The final site and route depend on your suitability, sea conditions and the team’s assessment that day. Site names are not a promise of cave, tunnel or other overhead access.
Are wildlife sightings guaranteed?
No. Coral reefs and marine life are natural environments. Encounters and visibility vary, and the guide may change a route to respect conditions and the reef.
What if I have not dived recently?
Tell the team when and where you last dived, your certification and approximate logged dives. A refresher or a shallower first outing may be needed before a deeper plan can be agreed.
What happens if conditions or travel plans change?
Calmer seas often help visibility, but visibility and wildlife are never guaranteed. Weather, Lakshadweep transport restrictions or entry-permit issues may require a different plan or cancellation. Any eligible refund depends on the circumstances and will be confirmed by the team; no fixed percentage is promised.
For guest cancellations, no refund is available once the guest and team are ready to begin the scheduled dive. This does not describe an operator cancellation for unsafe conditions. Discuss changes and applicable refund terms with the team before paying.
Booking information confirmed 31 October 2026. Ask the team for the terms that apply to your specific plan before payment.
