Short on time in Pondicherry? The PADI Scuba Diver certification is a streamlined subset of Open Water, earned in about two days and letting you dive the Bay of Bengal to 12m under professional supervision. It's a practical first credential for travellers exploring Pondicherry's reefs.
PADI Scuba Diver covers a subset of the Open Water eLearning and dives, can be upgraded to full Open Water anytime, and issues a lifetime PADI certification under the Project AWARE ethic.
Scuba Diver training dives stay shallow, to 12m, on Pondicherry's calm Bay of Bengal reefs and fish-aggregation sites. The Oct-May season and 27-30C water make easy training conditions among parrotfish, butterflyfish and reef life.
