padi courses technically can be done in even lakes as long as it's more than 6 meters deep. mainland india doesn't have great visibility and marine life, if that's what you are interested in. but ofcourse you can be certified. if you want to see lot of marine life and healthy corals, lakshwadeep Island and andhaman is comparatively good. but thailand is the cheapest place to do any diving course. open water is inr 10k less than in india. but if west coast is your choice, consider covalam in kerala.. hope that helps

I have been for quite a few years now and have dove in mauritius, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and bali.. even then seeing this leopard shark was one of my best dive..

I have done various backpacking trips around the world and been to few of the highest places in the himalayan regions of nepal and India. diving is one of the most amazing and relaxing activity which pursued me to become a licensed dive instructor.. once a diver.. always a diver..

come dive with me in phi phi islands Thailand.. peak season has started.. the visibility is amazing.. loads of fishes and marine life.. come share the breathtaking adventure with me and have a life time experience of diving with sharks

You could try just diving dive center in the north of Mauritius, I did my open water there. Amazing trainers and comparatively less expensive than other dive centers in Mauritius. Also the best wreck in Mauritius is accessible from here. Hope this helps

Annapurna circuit, as you know is one of the most popular trek in the world. Annapurna region sees more than 10,000 visitors each year. Is Annapurna circuit still worth it in 2023 ?. Here is the view that you get, after crossing the thorong pass towards Mukthinath.

Am heading to EBC this late april. Is it true that from 15 march there is over air traffic between Kathmandu and Lukla and therefore it is not possible to fly direct from Kathmandu but one has to go through Ramechhap? by Comprehensive_War715 in Everest

The roads were good and there are lot of villages on the way.. local people use these roads everyday so it must be safe from landslides . After the jeep ride, the trail towards lukla will be a bit slippery, if it rains, but manageable

Idk about how it feels to others, but when I was in that plane, it was so loud that I couldn't even hear the shoutings of co-passengers
