For more tourist places in Pondicherry, check out my 2-day tour: • PONDICHERRY in 2 Days:...
This was my first time scuba diving in India and I wasn't sure what to expect, and was a bit nervous to head out into the deep ocean BUT was very happy with this experience. There were so many fish to see and it was beautiful being underwater.

Hey Benjamin...thanks for making such an amazing clip about our dive center...it's so well done...it really sums up the whole experience that people are going through: from buying Stemitil to getting ready for the pool training or the amazing beauty of gazing over blue waters up to the horizon...we didn't meet, cause I am just now visiting my family in Germany...but I'm the "wall mural artist" and Apurva's partner at Urban Nomad....so..hope to see you next time...

I did my pool training in Bangalore at a swimming pool near cubbon park and did my open water dive in Pattaya Thailand. It made for a great adventure. I guess the north part of the Andeman Islands is the place to go. Will have to try that

It was really good to see you with an instructor to watch the undersea wonders in the bay of Bengal. Pondicherry seems to be a better place for foreigners and the well instructed scuba diving for freshers.👍

So you did the dive on 19th Sep 2021? Beautiful underwater shots. Coincidentally, my SIL is going over tomorrow morning to your place, Thiruvannamalai and I was telling her about you :). Then I saw the scuba diving video and asked her to go over to Pondi and try it out. Doing my bit to spread your popularity around a bit! :) Let us see !!!

Did they take you to the bottom of the site to the parking lot where the car is placed at the temple's reef on a discover scuba? I have been to that site and that point is way deeper than 8m beyond what is allowed in DSD

@kritishanbhag9891 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Harshit, I am sure they followed standards and took him to a maximum depth of only 12 m as a Discover Scuba Diver.

Wait, what? They give your PADI Scuba Diver certification if you spend time in the pool in the morning and piggy-back or piggy-front in the ocean with an instructor? So, month worth of time I spent on different training, including decompression table reading, planning, etc are all total waste, I can go to Pondicherry and spend $100 and become a PADI Scuba Diver in a day and knowing nothing about scuba diving? WTF!
