It was an amazing fun diving trip to Netran. Not only did we see beautiful marine life, including lion fishes, barracudas, Eels and a HUGE turtle (!!!), Absolute SCUBA always manages to get the most amazing people together and the boat is always filled laughter, banter and fun. I would do it again in an heartbeat ????✨

It was an amazing experience at Netrani. Akshay was a bit strict, but it was necessary as an instructor. The dives were beautiful, and I’m glad I completed my certification with Absolute Scuba.

I had an amazing experience with Absolute Scuba during my PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course at Netrani! The entire trip was very well managed, with seamless arrangements that made the experience smooth and enjoyable. Shaun, Mike, Anup were so helpful in each aspect. A special shoutout to trainer Akshay, who was not only highly skilled but also made the learning process fun and engaging. His guidance underwater and tips during dives were invaluable. The dive spots at Netrani were breathtaking, and thanks to the excellent organization and Akshay’s expertise, I felt confident and safe throughout. Highly recommend Absolute Scuba for anyone looking to explore the underwater world!
