This world isn’t a fantasy—it’s the underwater realm of the Andaman Islands, and with the PADI Open Water Diver Course in Andaman, you hold the key.
Imagine a secret world bathed in emerald light, where ancient coral structures form cities and silent, majestic creatures glide by. This world isn’t a fantasy—it’s the underwater realm of the Andaman Islands, and with the PADI Open Water Diver Course in Andaman, you hold the key.
At Dive Andaman, we believe learning to dive is less about a class and more about a rebirth. We transform you from a land-bound observer into an aquatic explorer. If your heart pounds for adventure, this is the definitive guide to why the pristine, vibrant, and sheltered waters of the Andamans are the only place you should earn your scuba certification. This is the ultimate first step into the thrilling world of Scuba Diving in Andaman Islands.
Why choose this remote archipelago for your foundational training? Because the Andamans offer a distinct combination of clarity, calm, and unparalleled beauty, creating an ideal nursery for new divers.
When you’re learning critical safety skills, you don’t want to fight strong currents or peer through murky water. The diving seasons in the Andamans boast spectacular visibility, often reaching the 25-meter mark. More importantly, the protected bays around Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) provide the tranquil, current-free conditions that allow you to master buoyancy and emergency procedures without unnecessary stress. This calmness ensures your focus stays on your training, making the PADI Open Water Diver Course in Andaman a smooth, confidence-building experience.
Your training dives here aren’t just skill-checks—they’re your first major encounters with marine life. As you practice your skills, you’ll be sharing the water with schools of iridescent reef fish, perhaps a curious sea snake, or a majestic spotted eagle ray. The Andamans are home to some of the most vibrant and untouched coral ecosystems in the Bay of Bengal. Earning your PADI Open Water Diver Course in Andaman here means your first moments as a certified diver are guaranteed to be filled with wonder, fueling a lifetime passion for the ocean.
We deliberately avoid the ‘dive factory’ approach. Your safety and comfort are paramount. Our PADI-certified Instructors maintain small student-to-instructor ratios, meaning you get the focused, personalized coaching necessary to truly master the skills. We take the time to drill excellent habits, especially buoyancy control, ensuring you become a safe, relaxed, and environmentally conscious diver from day one.

The PADI Open Water Diver Course in Andaman follows a globally standardized, three-part curriculum. We bring it to life in a way that maximizes your time underwater.
You’ll cover the fundamental physics, pressure effects, dive planning, and safety protocols. To maximize your beach and dive time, we highly recommend PADI eLearning. Complete the theory modules at home, and arrive ready to jump straight into the water!
This is where you move into the water to practice skills in a controlled environment, such as a shallow bay. Under the direct supervision of your Dive Andaman Instructor, you’ll learn everything from clearing a flooded mask and performing an efficient fin pivot to responding to a simulated out-of-air scenario. You practice until the movements become instinctive.
Over four unforgettable open-water dives, you’ll demonstrate the mastery of your skills at some of the Andamans’ most beautiful shallow sites. Upon successful completion, you’ll earn your certification, enabling you to dive with a buddy, independently, to a depth of 18 meters (60 feet) anywhere on the planet. This certification is your global passport to the 71% of Earth you’ve never seen.
The PADI Open Water Diver Course in Andaman is structured as an evolution, moving you seamlessly from theory to open-water explorer. It typically takes 3-4 days, but our focus is always on your comfort and mastery, not the clock.
This is the foundation. You’ll learn the physics of diving, safe planning procedures, equipment function, and critical environmental awareness. We highly recommend PADI eLearning—completing the theory online before you arrive. This means less time in our island classroom and more time where you want to be: in the water!
Under the direct supervision of your Dive Andaman instructor, you will practice every fundamental skill—from removing and replacing your gear underwater to responding to simulated out-of-air scenarios. We conduct this phase in shallow, calm environments that mimic a pool, giving you the control and comfort needed to develop muscle memory for safety procedures.
This is the payoff! Over four mandatory dives in the spectacular open waters of the Andamans, you will apply your skills and begin your exploration. This is where you truly earn your fins. Successful completion of these dives grants you the PADI Open Water Diver Course in Andaman certification, certifying you to dive independently (with a buddy) to depths of up to 18 meters (60 feet) anywhere in the world.
