Hello

My name's Sarah. I've never been scuba diving, but have always really wanted to. My boyfriend and I are going to India for 6 months very soon. We'll be mostly around the south coast.

We both very much want to get into scuba diving whilst we're there, and I wonder if anyone knows anything about diving in India? If anyone has any recommendations or advice it'd be much appreciated!

Thanks

Sarah (and Sam)

I am not qualified and have never been to india, but if you want to do SCUBA diving i'm pretty sure you need to be qualified & I personaly wouldnt dive in a forein country if i wasnt qualiafied.

Where specifically are you going?

Hi

We're flying to Mumbai, and then heading south and basically travelling round the coast. Our plans are really vague, as we're up for deciding what to do when we get there ans we can see what everywhere is like.

Thanks

Well I meant any kind of diving really. That's why I asked for advice.

The sea off the Mumbai coast is not really fit for diving: Low viz and quite polluted. The closest divie site is Goa which is an hour away by air.

very true !! Mumbai is a definite no no but we are in Goa and while the viz isnt the best, we can definitely promise you will have a great time and see lots of stuff !! pls check our website at www.barracudadiving.com. as to doing courses in a "foreign country" pls rest assured we are a 5 star PADI center and cater mostly to British and other europeans.

we are currently closed but will reopen for the new season on 2nd oct, 2009 and look forward to hearing from you. regards.
