The PADI Scuba Diver course on Neil Island is the quick route to a recognised qualification, certifying you to dive to 12 metres with a professional on the Andamans' gentle reefs. It suits travellers who want to dive without committing to the full Open Water course.
PADI Scuba Diver uses PADI Touch eLearning, is a credited subset of Open Water certifying to 12 m under supervision, and upgrades to full Open Water with a PADI card.
Training takes place on Neil's calm shallow reefs such as Nemo Reef (5-12 m) and Coral Safari, where clownfish and parrotfish appear at easy depths. The warm 27-30C water and steady November-May season make learning comfortable.
