★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ 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!

★★★★★ Scuba diving can be pretty nerve-racking when you’re just starting out, so having a patient instructor really matters. We had a great experience at Lacadives while doing our Open Water Certification with Shriditha. She was calm, encouraging, and never made us feel rushed or stressed. The dives were well organised, and after each one we had a debrief that actually helped us understand what went right and what we could improve on for the next dive. That made a big difference to our confidence in the water. Overall, it was a very positive experience and we’d definitely recommend Lacadives to anyone learning to scuba dive.
