We visited this place early February 2020 and was left spell bound to what we saw, not only under the water, but even on the surface, the quality and passion to of Gypsy Divers speaks!
These guys are professionals! We were 4 very keen people interested to take a dive. When we walked to Gypsy,and they took us through some briefing and a declaration to sign. In some time, we were all dressed up in some good quality dive suits and we were taking training sessions for our dive. The trainers are very passionate and had enough patience to run though the training repeatedly until we were made comfortable. There was no sign of haste to go through the training again and again. We then set forth on a boat for our first dive. A back flip, the dive, and then the world of underwater was explored. Each of us were accompanied by an expert and professional diver who took us in and brought us out with atmost perfection. These guys are not just professional, but they are fun loving too and ensured we enjoyed our first dive without any traces of fear. With fun and enthusiasm we completed our dive and at the end, we were gifted with loads of cool pics. Now that's gonna fill the Instagram page!
I recommend all the enthusiast to take a dive here and do ensure you go for the boat dive! Just worth every minute and every penny.

Hi,
We visited Havelock 4m 27/2/21 to 2/3/21 & dis ws my 3rd visit 2 d Islands. I ws keen of doing boat dive dis time. Came 2 knw of Gypsy divers 4m a friend, seen their work & listened their stories, so decided of doing it with them.
It ws magical under water. Gypsy divers takes all the necessary precautions. Your safety is their first priority. Plus d divers r very understanding. They will take care of ur comfort level and make sure I'll enjoy your dive instead of getting any bad experiences out of it.
So all the dive centres will provide u some photographs and video of ur dive, which is complimentary. And the quality of photography n videos is exceptional compared to their counterparts. This acts as a cherry on top. Believe me on this photographs and video stuff not all dive centres are giving you the memories you crave for. All the best Gypsy divers keep up d good work and keep growing. Will surely visit again.
My rating would be 5/5

This was my first diving experience and me and my mum went for snorkelling followed by me going for a boat-dive scuba! I loved everything from the clarity on instructions and authentic formalities at the desk, by Suruchi Ma'am and her friendliness to the actual dive and the diving instructor Marshall who made me feel very safe throughout. ^_^
The freedom to explore the beautiful part of the reef chosen, for near to like, an hour in total, and the patience shown by everyone to me being a newbie was appreciated.
The speed boat ride into the amazing green sea (for the dive) and the certificate given for scuba later were the cherry on the top!! ^_^
Suruchi even suggested a change in the itinery that made our day easier and stayed with us until our driver came to pick us up even though she had to go for lunch. Very good people :)

This scuba was booked through our travel agent and it was dam expensive. Some of our friends opted other scuba which was very reasonable in price. I thought if it is expensive, it should be beat but that was not the scenario. They were good in sighting so that is amazing part of andman. But all basic facilities provided by Gypsy divers were not up to the mark. They are not having good reception area. Action cam used by them were below average and they were not able to click good pics and videos. They don't have basic facilities of clean bathrooms and changing rooms. Very hesitating sharing WiFi password with you
Guys seriously after paying 5k and others paying 3k felt like cheated by Gypsy Divers.
But yes, scuba is best experience in Andman. Everybody has to give a try to it

My wife and I chose 'Gypsy Divers Dive Resort' on the recommendation of a friend and we had a great time there. It was a holistic experience. Our accomodation was clean and spacious with a balcony overlooking the adjacent turquoise beach. The convenience of staying here was that we could just get out of bed and go for snorkelling, scuba diving or just chill out by the beach.
They also have a very capable team lead by Poonam Darne and Bhavna. We had Rekha didi who would serve us delicious home cooked meals and Santosh Darne for engaging in long indulging conversations, be it local sights or the mysteries of the undersea life. The dive guides, Marshall, Tathoo and the others were also very enthusiastic and knew their way around the best spots on the reef. One should also plan their activities and negotiate the prices of the packages beforehand. We really enjoyed our stay and the overall experience at Gypsy Diver's and will surely be back again for more.

It was a great experience for going for my first time Scuba dive ( I am 53+) with Gypsy Divers. They have a great crew and very good equipment. The capability and expertise of all the Diving coaches and crew gave us complete confidence and we had a great dive and could share space with at least 10 different species of marine creatures.
The Crystal waters and amazing temperatures made the day thrilling.

We opted for 'shore snorkeling' and Poonam along with her partner convinced us to take the ' deeper water' snorkeling while riding on a boat further into the sea for a better experience. We had initially agreed to a boat snorkel for Rs. 3000 per head the day before while evaluating our options, but chose the shore snorkeling as it was cheaper. Yes, it was a brilliant experience however the corals were all dead (no fault of theirs). The trainers and assistant were wonderful and the boat ride was wonderful.
However, I've personally seen better in the Andaman's from previous trips. We felt safe and our younger children were on the boat while we snorkeled.
When we returned the ladies demanded RS. 3500 which was not the price we had agreed to. They started raising their voices and shouting back at us, What was a wonderful snorkeling experience was ruined within seconds. It was my 7yr old daughter's first experience in snorkeling and all the awe she felt was destroyed thanks to their loud voices. It was an easy way to arm twist their guests in to paying more by stating they took us to a different location, which we did not know nor had asked for. They kept lying and arguing with us. We walked off without paying the extra and didn't collect the underwater photographs either
Very confused two women. Very unprofessional and terrible ethics. i would advise you to avoid them. There are many more options to choose from on Havelock

Hey Kripaw
We cannot apologize enough that you felt it was a negative experience and appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. Gypsy Divers values every feedback's and is always concerned about the Guest Dive Experience as it is our top priority to ensure all guests receive an outstanding and memorable diving experience, while in a safe and welcoming environment.
We inform all our guests about our charges cancellation policies, refunds, before their dive / snorkeling Certification programs and collect the payment upfront to avoid any confusions regarding the same. We offer the same charges which are published on our website & the rate card at dive shop with no hidden charges.
Gypsy Divers is a Dive school where we Passionately encourage every guest to get introduced to the ocean world in a great manner.
As you said in your review ‘’ We had initially agreed to a'' BOAT SNORKEL'' for Rs. 3000 per head the day before while evaluating our options, but chose the ''SHORE SNORKELING '' as it was cheaper.’’ You & your family were aware of that from initially a day before
On the sunny day for snorkeling, It was your call at the last minute to change your plans from a shore snorkel program (after making the payment for the same) to a boat snorkel program with all your kids on boat. While guests who are not part of the program are not allowed on the boat, we made an exception for your kids and provided special care-taker crew with all safety measures & special snacks drinks for kids & for all of you on the boat. We sent boat for snorkeling to a site which is quite far from Havelock island..near john Lawrence island. We sent Snorkeling the instructor & Photographer diver with you on the trip .
When you all returned we heard "WOW!" cheer reviews from you & your lovely kids that left a smile on everyone’s face. We sweat hard, try our best, try to take great care & at the same time value that WOW million dollar Smile. Especially from kids, that WOW smile is greater than any 5* rating reviews on planet its priceless .
Our office team made aware about charges for photography for you & kids and your family without any hidden or extra cost (please check on website as well ). there was no confusion from our side that made you upset.
we like to inform you that
In past three years, we are Running the show of Gypsy divers .. not a single guest has complained about desk office rude behavior with guests … our 150 organic reviews on Trip Advisor proved that already. Its just you & family found some confusion or any trick ..but its never like that. Pics videos are still safe with us ,we would love to share with you on email or what’s app.
I appreciate that we cannot get it right all of the time but hope that when we make a mistake, we really try to rectify it during the guests dive program, to ensure that they leave us feeling happy and relaxed. Please do contact us so that we can deliver the memorable dive experience next time.
I hope that you will revisit so we can make amends in some way for your disappointment.”

We were a group of 3 including 2 teenagers and did a boat dive with them in Dec 22. They had 3 divers go with us in the water, plus a photographer and an additional 2 people on the boat. The divers were very skilled and we had a great time exploring the reef.
They use high quality equipment, which fitted us well, no leakages. Highly recommended.

In a place like havelock where there are probably more scuba diving centres than people it was difficult for me to figure out the good ones. And in places like these I generally avoid going by the resort’s recommendation. This place shows up on google search and had honest reviews and our experience matched the reviews.
From booking to the actual diving everything was a breeze. The dive master was very patient and took us through the motions.
My diving instructor was very calm and reassuring. He made my first dive very memorable. Saw some pretty good marine life and he made sure to point out animals of interest.

thanks for choosing Gypsy divers for your scuba dive program. we truly appreciate it.
we ask you apology for that your photograph was not upto the mark. we ask you sorry for that. we used best cameras & our photographers are trained skilled, but if weather and underwater conditions visibility is not supporting then we couldn’t deliver the best of the best.
we are truly sorry for that.
looking forward to dive with you again .
thank you
