About the Activity

The PADI Open Water Diver Certification is an entry level scuba diving course that enables you to dive up to 18 meters along with a buddy without assistance. Under the guidance of a proficient PADI Instructor, you’ll receive thorough training in a comfortable and encouraging setting. 

Upon completing the course, you’ll acquire the necessary skills and understanding to embark on dives both domestically and internationally, while also becoming an advocate for the preservation of the underwater ecosystem.

Chidiyatapu, situated to the south of Port Blair is a quaint village where divers frequent all the time. Preferred for its proximity, the forests here might almost make you feel as if you’ve come to the Northern Andamans. Doing your open water diver course here is a fine experience in itself.
