Our passion for Scuba Diving and our endeavor to make dive education in India at par with International standards both in terms of quality and safety laid the foundation of Scuba Evolution India.
Co-founded by Navy veterans, with a multitude of experience of the sea, in the air, and underwater - the sheer love for the oceans, emphasis on safety first, and the will to be differentiated is what drives us towards the future.
We started as the first dive centre in the mainland to provide onsite accommodation. Since our inception in 2015, we have evolved into a PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) Five Star Instructor Development Dive Resort, PADI TecRec centre and a Public Safety Diver Training Institute.
As a customer-first dive centre, our beliefs are straightforward-
– We believe in safe Scuba Diving – in helping new divers explore a whole new environment without harming themselves or their surroundings.
– We believe in a healthy marine environment – uniting divers to speak for those who cannot- the threatened inhabitants of the marine world and protecting the ecosystem that was entrusted to us.
– We believe in extensively educating a new generation of recreational divers – giving them the right introduction to scuba diving, and continued quality dive education in Goa.
– We believe in holistic experiences – it is all about the experience we can provide to our customers - A diving experience which leaves you wanting more. High quality dive training and equipment, zero compromise on safety, and great fun too.
– We believe in exploring new frontiers – aim to discover new dive sites all over the country.
– Finally, we believe in the importance of research – discoveries that will help us climb to greater heights, as we plunge into more profound depths.
