PADI courses
From your first pool session to advanced navigation and deep-diving skills, our courses pair international PADI standards with the clarity of learning in a real island environment. Small groups keep every question welcome.
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
- Course duration varies by programme, eLearning preparation, assessments and conditions. Each course page lists an indicative schedule; confirm enough island time before booking travel.
- Who can join
- Age, swimming ability, prior certification, experience and medical documentation depend on the course. Review the individual prerequisites and let the instructor confirm your training plan.
- Your agreed quote
- 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.

Making your plan
Enquire. Plan. Confirm.
Send an enquiry → agree your diving and travel plan → receive booking confirmation. An enquiry alone is not a confirmed place. Please wait for written confirmation from Scuba Lak, or speak directly with the team by phone or WhatsApp to confirm your booking. Ask for the dates, group total, meeting arrangements and applicable terms in writing before payment.
Good to know
A few things before the blue.
Which course should I choose?
Share your current certification, swimming ability, goals and time on Kadmat. The instructor can recommend a suitable starting point; an enquiry does not guarantee acceptance or certification.
Is certification guaranteed within the listed time?
No. Schedules are indicative. Completion depends on meeting the programme’s knowledge, water-skills and assessment requirements, as well as conditions.
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.
