Barefoot Scuba

I had mentally prepared myself for the adventure of a lifetime – scuba diving in Havelock Islands, Andaman. After extensive research, I decided to choose Barefoot Scuba Resort for this ultimate experience in the Bay of Bengal. As a first-timer, I enrolled for the Discovery Scuba Diving (DSD) program, a 3-hour session that included filling out a medical questionnaire, registering on the PADI app, short theory session with Instructor Ravi Singh sir, learning a few basic skills on the shore, and then heading out for the final dive. The resort is fully equipped with all the necessary resources and gear for scuba diving, and the diving takes place directly from their private beach. During the final dive, I encountered a moment of discomfort when I flipped into the water. As I descended deeper into the ocean, I felt a lot of pressure in my ears and began to panic. That's when my research and my instructor's expertise kicked in. He quickly sprang into action, calmed me down, and guided me through the steps to relieve the discomfort. His confidence and clear instructions were exactly what I needed. Without his support, I may have given up, but his encouragement kept me going. Once I overcame that initial hurdle of equalising, I was immersed in a world I had never seen before. I was mesmerized by the marine life around me. With each breath, I gained more control, and the experience became surreal. My instructor guided me through the dive, pointing out incredible sights and ensuring I felt comfortable. I descended to a depth of 10 meters and spent 45 minutes exploring the underwater world. It was truly a life-changing experience that I will cherish forever. I am grateful to Barefoot Scuba for making this dream a reality, with special thanks to Instructor Ravi Singh for creating unforgettable memories that I will cherish forever. I will always be thankful for this incredible adventure and look forward to returning again soon! 🌊🤿✨

I had an incredible experience with Barefoot Scuba, a PADI 5-star dive center. I enrolled in the Discover Scuba program, and from start to finish, the team made the experience seamless and enjoyable. The instructors were friendly, highly experienced, and took the time to explain the basics of scuba diving in a 20-minute theoretical session. After completing the registration on the PADI website and the e-learning material, we moved on to a hands-on practice session at the beach, where they demonstrated essential scuba techniques. This practice lasted about 20–30 minutes, ensuring I felt comfortable before the actual dive. We then headed out to deeper waters by boat for the dive itself. The instructor was incredibly patient, encouraging me throughout the experience. The dive lasted around 39 minutes, reaching a depth of 12 meters below sea level. It was an unforgettable adventure, made even more special by the stunning underwater scenery. To capture the moment, they took high-quality photos and videos with a GoPro, giving me lasting memories of this incredible experience. I’m truly grateful to the entire Barefoot Scuba team for making this such a beautiful and memorable dive!

The instructor and team at Barefoot Scuba, including Jobin, Mia, Danish, Anto, Gayathri, and Sonal, are truly exceptional.

They're patient & encouraging with beginners, attentive to safety, and deeply knowledgeable about the marine ecosystem. Their camaraderie and dedication make every dive not just safe but also incredibly fun and engaging. This team truly elevates Barefoot Scuba to one of the best dive centers in Havelock!

We enjoyed scuba diving with barefoot. My 12 year old wanted to dive but we were scared. The professionals were passionate friendly and trained us well. The dive was awesome. They take us to dive even the non - swimmers. We went upto 10 m deep.

⭐ The Best Diving Institute—Hands Down! ⭐ If you want to feel calm, confident, and completely at home underwater, Mia and team are the instructors you need. Their blend of technical expertise, patience, and reassurance makes all the difference—especially for new divers. I started nervous, unsure if I’d get the hang of it. But with clear instructions, expert guidance, and an almost magical ability to make you feel at ease, I went from anxious to absolutely loving it. By the end, I wasn’t just checking off skills—I completed my advanced course in diving. If you're considering learning to dive or improving your skills, don’t look anywhere else. Book your dive now—you won’t regret it! 📍 Location: Barefoot Scuba, Havelock Andamans ✅ Would I recommend? 1000% YES!

The diving was incredible, and the instructors were very helpful and fun to interact with. They’re also extremely knowledgeable about local dive sites and fauna. My instructor, Avinash, helped me get my open water and advanced diver certifications while making it fun. The resort itself is great with an amazing secluded beach view and nice cabins. The food place on the resort is meh but usually since you’re so hungry before and after diving it doesn’t really matter. Had a great time and highly recommend

I received a recommendation from a friend to visit Barefoot Scuba Resort, and after conducting some basic research, I decided to book my stay. The response from Sonal, a company executive, was very prompt and clear, with no ambiguity. Despite my last-minute change of plans, she kindly accommodated me. I visited the facility in May, and the pick-up and drop-off service from the airport to the ferry was impeccable. The staff were punctual, always wore smiles, were well-groomed, and the taxis were clean and well-maintained. The resort is located by the sea with a private beach, and all the rooms are made of wood. The rooms feature soft, subtle lighting, an AC, table fan, tea kettle, geyser, towels, soaps, and a bed with a mosquito net. One reason to stay at this beach rather than Radhanagar Beach is that the sea here is flat and shallow. You can walk a kilometer into it without the risk of drowning, and the water is much clearer, making it easy for both adults and children to swim without fear. The breakfast at the resort was excellent, and the café was clean and well-maintained. Regarding scuba diving, Barefoot Scuba Resort is the first IDC-certified PADI 5-star dive center in India. I took a full scuba refresher course followed by fun dives. My instructor,AMITH KUMAR , took care of everything and explained everything patiently. He was very professional and ensured that all equipment was properly arranged the day before the dives.He was very co operative during dives too checking periodically that everything was alright. Other instructors, including Akshay, Mia, Aadhya, Kingston, and Saili, were all extremely supportive and helpful. The resort follows stringent safety protocols and never compromises on the rules, ensuring that every dive goes as planned. I highly recommend Barefoot Scuba Resort for scuba diving; they are one of the best in India. and im coming again with my family next time for sure , thanks barefoot.. u guys are amazing

Three of us went snorkelling with barefoot scuba and they were brilliant. We went to a lovely reef, a very short boat ride away. I was dubious at first as there is so much scuba oh the island that there would be any good snorkelling spots, but we saw loads of cool fish in good visibility. We were incredibly lucky and manage to see 3 dolphins!! They swam so close and it was amazing. The guides were super friendly and helpful. 10/10 experience
