From their kickass Instagram feed (@scubaevolutionindia), to how patiently they answered all my queries over the emails and calls, to actually helping me become 'advance open water scuba diver', these guys are just fantastic.
Based out of Anjuna, the center has quite chill vibes for classroom training and nicely maintained pool for skill learning or even fun dive preps. perfectly working equipment, suits, proper travel arrangements, limited and decent crowd, and even healthy snacking post dives - there's no scope for disappointment.
Dive sites in Goa are quite average (with not greatest of visibility, but that's expected, right), what work wonders is - surprisingly good skill development and enhanced confidence to maneuver underwater by the end of course. Angshuman is a very well-traveled, kind and super encouraging instructor, who told me at the beginning of course as to how low visibility underwater will help me rather focus on developing and mastering my course skills, and it did. From struggling to maintain my buoyancy to being able to hold myself upside down like some seabat, he ensured that I learn more than I was supposed to as a part of course.
If you are thinking of a nice Fun dive or even course, SEI is an absolutely wonderful center.
Congratulations! You were fun to dive with too. We do hope to see you back diving with us for some col fun dives on some seldom dived sites and deeper exploration dives. Thank you for your recommendation.
Did a couple of fun dives with dive evolution around grande island - one at ss Rita and one at navy bay rocks. Though I dint expect much, I found both dives interesting. The second dive site had a lot of life and I saw a number of gobi shrimp pairs, a large grouper and lots of reef fish. Dive evolution has a super fun team- we dived with Skandan, Sanjay and Anshuman. The equipment were in great condition and the dive very enjoyable. Would certainly recommend dive evolution to all divers.
Thank you for the review. We had fun taking you diving. Goa has some exciting and challenging sites, we would love to see you return so we could show you some more of our wonderful ocean diversity.
This is best Dive Centre ever. They can make your dream come true. Either you want to go for a fun Dive or To become a scuba diving professional.
Ultimate teaching skill professional and with safety.
I also completed my IDC from S.E.I.
Thanking you the team. Without every once help I can't complete my Instructor Course. Now I feel I am also part of the team. Best of luck team.
Thank you Subra! We had a memorable time with you. Congratulations on completing your IDC and Qualifying as a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor with us. We wish you all the best for your future as a dive professional.
I chose Scuba Evolution India intially as they are veteran run. I am quite pleased with the outcome of that decision.
First things first, Goa is not your typical tropical dive destination. Don't expect 100ft viz. The best viz I had was around 30-40 feet. Having said that, if you know what to look for, there is a lot of stuff to see.
One of the issues with Goa is that you get a number of Discover Scuba Divers, and not a lot of certified divers. This limits the sites you can visit at times. Also, with each dive operation getting only a handful of divers, most of these ops share boats, which has further implications on the sites you will be diving at.
I was fortunate to spend a day on a boat with only certified divers, and no discover scuba divers. This allowed us to go to some sites that they don't get to go to otherwise. These were fantastic sites. There was a good variety of tropical aquatic life. We also visited the wreck, (carry a light and look inside the wreck!).
These limitations aside, SEI was well run. They brought a credit card machine to the boat, so I could pay there instead of going to the shop. There was clear communication to where we would meet them, and for most part they kept to the schedule (most delays were due to other dive ops).
Divemasters were respectful of the sea, and I saw them cleaning out trash as we saw it underwater. Big thumbs up for that!
My hope is that in the future, they get more certified divers to allow dives at the interesting sites (which are not crowded). This however isn't in their control, and I don't hold it against them.
I will use this dive-op again and recommend it.
Dear Dhaval, Thanks a ton for the encouragement. We are committed to providing the best Scuba Diving experience and training in India. And this review just makes our day
Warm Regards
I had a really great experience with SEI. My dive master was really encouraging and patient, and it's great to be around people who are so passionate and love what they do. I would recommend everyone to scuba dive at least once in their lives, it's a life-changing experience. Not only does diving allow you to explore beautiful vistas and appreciate nature, it's also a great way to deal with personal struggles such as anxiety and stress. Overall one of the best experiences of my life!
Hello agupta21604,
Overcoming your fear and experiencing scuba is indeed a beautiful feeling, we are glad you enjoyed your dive at the Scuba Evolution India. Hope to see you soon
Warm Regards
We dived today with the Scuba Evolution team and they are amazing. Everything was very clear and very professionally organized.
My girlfriend (who loves diving) hasn’t dived for over a year after a scary diving accident. Skandan and his team were patient and understanding and got her back to diving in the most comforting and safest way.
If you are looking for a place to dive then we couldn’t recommend this dive center more. The equipment is new and very well maintained, the staff are knowledgeable, kind and very helpful.
The boat is comfortable and a great way to start and end the day as the ride to the dive site it stunning. To top in off you even get snacks on the boat and who doesn’t like snacks. ;)
Hello, acodreams,
Your story has truly touched our heart and encouraged a lot of people who want to overcome their fear.
We are always aiming and committed at providing the best diving experience and this review is extremely encouraging.
