★★★★★ Vishal was so amazing! Starting with my open water refresher to going for 4 fun dives as my dive buddy with depths varying up to 18 meters and great bottom time... Together we spotted two humphead parrotfish, turtle, moray eel, octopus, lionfish, and countless rare fish species- havelock diving at its best. Dive sites: Red Pillar (water current kicked my a$$), Tribe gate (Spotted turtle resting in the corals & 2 Humphead Parotfish), Coral Garden (spotted an octopus, morey eel) and Lighthouse - (my get comfortable in calm waters dive.) Lacadives has a fantastic crew - professional, punctual, and great vibes on board with music and light refreshments. Also ended up making some great diving friends - which says a lot about the kind of crowd this place attracts. Highly recommend Lacadives to anyone diving in Havelock.

★★★★★ I completed my Advanced Open Water Diver certification with Lacadives, and it was an outstanding experience. Based on multiple recommendations, I chose Lacadives, and it truly lives up to its reputation as one of the best dive centres in Havelock. A special mention to my instructor, Ravi, who was exceptional. He is patient, highly skilled, and has an incredible eye for spotting marine life, which made every dive even more memorable. The entire process with Lacadives was smooth and well-organised, making the experience seamless from start to finish. Easily one of the best four days I have spent in Havelock. Highly recommended.

★★★★★ This was my daughter’s first time dive anywhere and we were very particular in ensuring we picked a dive centre that have professional, PADI certified trainers…..Lacadives rose beyond my expectations…..right from the initial booking, the patience to explain the dos and don’ts of Diving, especially for first timers….the attention to detail, the patience and calmness they showed us to ensure we felt excited and safe….. Whether you know to swim or don’t, or even if it’s your first time in water…..you cannot go wrong with Lacadives….amazing crew and Turtle Beach in particular was a great spot for training with the shallow waters and the the dive itself has amazing reefs…. Special shout out to Muaadh and Gokul….Muaadh took my daughter down to 40 feet (12 metres) and was very careful on the ascend up to ensure she doesn’t feel the pressure, he was calm, patient and very experienced…..highly recommend Muaadh for anyone that is looking to dive and Gokul also, very professional, knowledgeable about the waters… Overall, great crew, great fun and we will be back for sure!!! Thank you Lacadives for an unforgettable experience!!!

★★★★★ During our week at Seashell on Havelock, diving with the team at Lacadives was excellent. The team really did all they could to make us feel safe, asking which were our favourite sites to revisit and organising a very special trip to Dixon’s Pinnacles. It was my wife’s first dive in 25 years and she was understandably nervous but after a refresher and some gentle coaxing and patience she was diving with confidence. It was a dream of mine to have her as my buddy. Wish granted. A special shout out for Vibodh who accompanied me on all my dives after the first day. His briefings were thorough, his eyes for rock like octopus and other well hidden species are sharp. He’s also very good at bubble rings. He’s a very professional act. Boat crew, office staff and everybody. Thank you!
