About LACADIVES
Lacadives has come a long way since it’s inception on Kadmat in 1995. Our Lakshadweep chapter covers a 16-year history of some of the most remote and exclusive diving in the country, including a 10-year partnership with CGH-Earth on the beautiful island of Bangaram.
In 2008 we opened a dive center on Havelock in the Andaman Islands, as well as 01 pool-training facilities in Mumbai. We also began partnering with some of the best liveaboard operators in Asia.
Our operations currently include our center at Chidiya Tapu, in the Andaman Islands, 2 mainland operations in Mumbai and Bangalore and a liveaboard network for the best dive destinations in Asia. The Lacadives team has safely trained over 5000 beginners and hosted numerous divers from all parts of the world.

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ I had an exceptional diving experience with Lacadives, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the moment I arrived, the team demonstrated professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for diving. Every aspect — from the briefing to the equipment check and underwater guidance — was handled with great care and precision. A special mention goes to Mr. Ravi kanth Ayinapuri whose expertise and calm demeanor made the entire experience truly outstanding. He patiently guided me through every step, ensured I was comfortable at all times, and shared his deep knowledge of marine life and diving techniques. His encouragement and attentiveness helped me feel confident and relaxed throughout the dive. The underwater world was absolutely stunning — crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and an incredible variety of marine creatures. It was an unforgettable experience that combined adventure, tranquility, and awe. Thank you, Lacadives and Mr. Ravi for making this dive such a memorable and enriching experience. Highly recommend Lacadives for anyone looking to try scuba diving ,even beginners like me .I look forward to diving with your team again on my next visit!

★★★★★ I was super nervous going into my first dive, but spending an hour with Irfan beforehand made all the difference. He took me through the key skills with so much patience and made me feel confident for our dive the next day. When we went out, it turned out to be one of the most magical experiences of my life. We saw octopus, parrotfish, clownfish, pipefish, angelfish, and so many more. Govinda and Irfan took the time to point out every bit of marine life and even captured fun photos and videos of us along the way. Most importantly, they guided me with such care that I felt completely safe and supported in the water—which has inspired me to keep diving in the future. The whole team was amazing. The boat hands were polite, efficient, and so helpful in getting our gear on and off smoothly. The boat itself was well-stocked with water and bananas, and the atmosphere was fun and relaxed. From start to finish, the Lacadives team was friendly, kind, and respectful. I couldn’t recommend them more highly—thank you for giving me an experience I’ll never forget!

★★★★★ Ravi was a fantastic instructor who provided great guidance and support during our dives. We appreciated the patience, encouragement, and effort he put into helping us complete our PADI Open Water certification. It truly was an amazing experience, and we’re so grateful to have learned from him! He explained everything so patiently and in so much detail. We learnt so much - not just about diving, but also about the ocean and marine life in general! His passion for diving really shows through, and it truly is infectious! As a result, we cannot wait to go diving again! We have now decided that every time we go on holiday near the ocean, we will always plan 1 or 2 days diving! It was wonderful to be back in the Andamans after my last visit many years ago, and the Andamans really is a fantastic place to dive! We will of course be coming back to the Andamans very soon, and hope to dive with Ravi again!
