Shipwrecks, reefs and first dives.
From your first breath underwater to advanced wreck certification, we’ve been diving Goa’s waters since 2009. Small boats, unhurried briefings, and instructors who dive here every week of the season.
Where we actually dive.
Bounty Bay
Sand and scattered rock at 10m — where confined-water skills are signed off.
Davy Jones’ Locker
Shallow at 12m, sheltered, and the site most first dives happen on.
Suzy’s Wreck
A 1930s cargo steamer at 18m, broken into three sections and thick with glassfish.
Six sites, chosen on the morning.
Six sites in regular rotation around Grande Island, including Umah Gumah Reef, the Grande Plateau and Sail Rock, a pinnacle dropping to 22m for certified divers only. Which you get depends on visibility and swell on the morning, not on a schedule printed in advance.
November to February brings the best visibility, 12–18m, and calm seas. March to May is the warmest water, with 8–14m. June to September is the monsoon, and we are closed.
Boats leave at 07:30.
A first dive
Skills on sand at Bounty Bay, then the sheltered reef at Davy Jones’ Locker.
Certified wreck and reef dives
Two divers per guide on wreck dives, with sites chosen on the morning.
Courses, first breath to advanced wreck
Four students per instructor, with two instructors and a boat handler on every trip.
Small boats, unhurried briefings.
Nobody is graded and nobody is rushed. But diving is a physical activity and the honest answer matters more than the encouraging one.
From the briefing
Goa Scuba & Dive Co.
What we expect, and what to bring.
Everything technical is included in your course fee. Read the safety standards before you book — we would rather you arrive knowing what we expect than find out on the jetty.
A 200m unaided swim
Tested in the pool on day one, with a ten-minute unassisted float in the same session.
Twelve hours without a drink
The minimum since your last alcoholic drink before you dive.
Your certification card
Certified dives only — a digital card in the PADI app is fine, a photo of it is not.
Swimwear worn under clothes
Boats leave at 07:30 and there is no changing room at the jetty. Arrive ready.
Reef-safe sunscreen only
Oxybenzone bleaches the coral we take you to see. We sell a reef-safe SPF50 at cost if you forget.
A towel and a dry layer
Even in April the run back to Baina is cold at speed once you are wet.
Read the safety standards before you book.
Two instructors and a boat handler on every trip, whatever the group size. Closed through the monsoon.
