We recently launched Flying Mantas - Mumbai's first dive shop. We offer PADI and SSI certifications and organize trips to various destinations in and around India.
In India, the two most popular destinations for scuba diving are the Andamans and the Lakshadweep islands both world class diving destinations and spectacularly beautiful. There are also some very interesting dive destinations along the west coast of India. We recently conducted a 3 day trip from Mumbai to Netrani Island in Karnataka. The diving was very interesting with some beautiful underwater formations, good fish life (lion fish, porcupine fish, snappers, scorpion fish, barracuda, lobsters, crabs, and the occasional turtle and shark), and even a couple of unexploded torpedoes. Visibility is typically between 8-15 meters (25-50 feet) and the water is warm: 29 C (84 F).
We are also going to explore Dwarka as a potential destination for a short trip from Mumbai (this could also be pretty convenient from Rajasthan). We will provide an update after we check it out.
For our certifications, we typically conduct our confined training in a pool in Mumbai either at Hotel Sea Princess at Juhu or at Body Rhythms at Mantralaya. The open water check out dives can be completed on one of our trips or on a referral.
