I had written several emails to barefoot dive in the Andamans and to their registered office at Chennai and deeply regret that not a single email of mine has been acknowledged, leave alone answering my queries. Indian diving is in a very sorry and sad state of affairs. It is very obvious that Indian dive instructors simply do not want to help.
I am now toying with the idea of setting up a diving school in India in the foreseeable future. And, I shall make it a point to engage PADI diving instructors and coaches from foreign shores only. This is one way by which, perhaps, Indian diving would be benefitted. While all is fair in love and war I hope that better sense prevails and we correct our self-egoistic views in totality. Cheers!
