I had an amazing time doing my PADI Open Water course and a few fun dives with Lacadives in Havelock and Chidiyatapu.
The team was helpful right from when I started emailing them with requests for information.
They facilitated the 2-day pool training in Mumbai, followed by the 2-day Open Water dives in Havelock.
Pratik Shettigar was the Dive Instructor in Havelock and was extremely clear, patient and helpful while instructing me.
We were lucky to not run into crowds at Havelock while diving.
At Chidiyatapu, it was a blast doing fun dives with Havovi and team. I did fun dives, a friend did Discover Scuba and a third did snorkelling.
Chidiyatapu is relatively less travelled compared to Havelock and that showed in the quality of the reef. The size and diversity of sea life seemed to be better. While the reef wasn't as extensive as Havelock, it seemed less damaged.
Thanks to Greetika for helping us with all the bookings and the Big Tree recommendation. Do check out Big Tree if you are travelling to Chidiytapu. Diya and her team are amazing, and so are the food and accommodation.
Would definitely want to continue my dive training with Laca. - via
