Earn your PADI Open Water Diver certification on Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep), the calmest Andaman base, where four training dives unfold over clownfish-filled reefs and gentle drop-offs. Finishing the eLearning before you arrive means more time underwater at sites like Coral Safari and The Wall.
PADI Open Water uses PADI Touch eLearning you can finish from home, four open-water dives, and issues a PADI Open Water Diver card with Project AWARE conservation content.
Open Water training dives use Neil's sheltered, sandy reefs such as Nemo Reef (5-12 m) and Coral Safari (5-20 m), working gradually to 18 metres where you may meet green turtles, snappers and feather-tail stingrays. Calm November-May conditions and warm 27-30C water make these among India's friendliest sites to learn.
