Get PADI certified at Havelock Island with Frogman. From your first Open Water certification to professional Divemaster - small batches, expert instructors, top-notch dive sites.
Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep) is one of the best places in India to get your PADI certification. Warm water year-round at 27–30°C, visibility of 15–25 metres, and dive sites that are a 10-minute boat ride from shore - not a 3-hour trip like most mainland centres. Whether you want your first Open Water certification or you're going all the way to PADI Divemaster, the Andaman Islands offer outstanding training conditions.
At Frogman, every PADI course is taught by full-time instructors who live and dive here daily. We keep a strict 2–4 student-to-instructor ratio - no factory batches, no rushing through skills. You train on real coral reefs at sites like Nemo Reef and Aquarium, not in a swimming pool. Explore all 6 PADI courses we offer below.
