The Dive Master Havelock

Absolutely legendary experience! 🤿🌊 I couldn’t have asked for a better dive school. I completed my Open Water + Advanced Open Water back-to-back, and the entire experience was incredible from start to finish. A special shoutout to my instructor Sukanto — he was incredibly patient and genuinely wanted me to get everything right. He kept repeating and explaining things until I properly mastered them, which made me feel really comfortable and confident underwater. The entire crew - Ratan, Kalyani, Adarsh, Ajay, Deepak were super friendly and welcoming. In just a few days, it honestly started feeling less like a dive school and more like a little family. ❤️ If you’re thinking about getting certified, I genuinely couldn’t recommend this school enough. Couldn’t have chosen a better place! Pro tip: Do yourself a favour and go during the off-season 🤿 Fewer people = more instructor attention, more time to learn, and basically a much better experience overall. And one last thing… if you get the chance, TRY THE BREAKFAST at least once the instructors and crew eat 😂😅 Trust me on this one.

The experience with the Dive master was exceptional. Manoj, our instructor made us feel comfortable from the very beginning, and his teaching approach built strong confidence and a sense of safety. He patiently answered all our questions and shared practical tips that really helped underwater. He was helpful and supportive throughout, training us with patience and giving a clear, detailed briefing with a touch of humour— “any mistake especially mask on forehead means a beer fine (which he won’t actually take)” rule that kept things fun. His attentiveness during the dive truly stood out. He constantly checked on us, ensuring we were safe and comfortable, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Another highlight was the beautiful dive sites Manoj took us to—they were truly unforgettable, filled with so many fishes and stunning coral formations, making the experience even more magical.✨ The entire team was friendly, well-organized, and balanced safety with fun. From Sukanto, who clearly explained how the course would proceed and walked us through each stage, to Arun, who guided us through equipment briefing, assembly and desembly. A special mention to Prabhu for the underwater photography and videography—the shots were clear and beautifully captured, giving us wonderful memories to take back.. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a safe and memorable scuba diving adventure. It feels great to now be a PADI OPEN WATER SCUBA DIVER!!!🤩

If only you're looking worthwhile and actually want to go with the best memory to go with them. The dive master is actually a very good option to go with. First of all they have a pickup and drop system from the hotel. It's so good there's 2 options for diving, either you can go for the shore diving(that my brother and I did) or you can go for the boat dive. We had an amazing experience, tbh it honest. The guides were so good, calm, and really cheerful, like you won't feel any kind of discomfort. Everything is managed so well. The camera person with us was "Deepak." He clicked such amazing pictures of us that we are going to cherish, really. A special mention to "The guides." The one with me was "Albert", he was really very calm and friendly, he instructs really well and the one with my brother was "Prabhuji" a very jolly guy and he was very good too. Overall, it was a very fun experience. I would highly highly recommend going with them that they are amazing and trained professionals.

I had already completed my Open Water certification earlier, and recently went back to do my Advanced Open Water with Divemaster in Havelock Island—and honestly, it turned out to be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, what really stood out was how seriously they take safety. Every dive is handled with care, and they make sure you’re completely comfortable and confident with both the theory and practical aspects before getting into the water. At the same time, they strike the perfect balance by making the entire experience incredibly fun. You’re not overwhelmed with just course material—they genuinely want you to enjoy every moment of it. The dive sites around Havelock are absolutely stunning—easily some of the best I’ve experienced. The marine life, visibility, and overall underwater experience were just beautiful and unforgettable. What makes this place even more special is the people. The whole Divemaster team truly feels like a family. They have this line—“enter as friends, leave as family”—and it couldn’t be more accurate. The warmth, energy, and vibe of the place make you feel instantly at home. A special shoutout to my instructor, Sukanto Sen, who made the entire experience even more memorable. He felt more like a friend than just an instructor—super knowledgeable, patient, and made every dive so much fun. From cool underwater tricks to just making sure we were always enjoying ourselves, he really elevated the whole experience. If you’re planning to dive in Havelock, I couldn’t recommend this place more. It’s the perfect combination of safety, learning, fun, and unforgettable memories.

Had an absolutely incredible experience with thedivemaster from start to finish. Honestly, this was one of the most well-organized and memorable adventure experiences I’ve had. The kayaking session was around 1.5 hours, and it was peaceful, exciting, and beautifully managed. The team made sure everyone was comfortable before starting, and throughout the entire experience they were extremely friendly, supportive, and energetic. Even if someone is a beginner, they guide you patiently without making you feel nervous. The real highlight was the 45-minute deep sea scuba diving experience. The underwater experience was absolutely breathtaking. The instructors and crew members were highly professional, calm, and safety-focused while still keeping the whole activity fun and exciting. They explained everything clearly, stayed with us throughout the dive, and made us feel completely safe underwater. What genuinely stood out was the attitude of the crew. Every single member was approachable, cheerful, and very caring. You can clearly see that they are passionate about what they do and truly want customers to enjoy every moment. Their coordination, hospitality, and positive energy made the entire trip unforgettable. The equipment was well-maintained, the guidance was excellent, and the overall management was top-class. No confusion, no stress — just a smooth and amazing experience from beginning to end. If anyone is looking for scuba diving or kayaking with a trustworthy, professional, and super friendly team, I would highly recommend thedivemaster without a second thought. Totally worth it and definitely an experience I’ll remember for a long time. Highly satisfied! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
