This
review
is
not
about
particular
scuba
spot
or
service
provider,
it
applies
to
all
service
providers
and
scuba
spots.
I
done
scuba
in
this
particular
spot.
Here
Scuba
and
water
sports
are
one
of
the
cheapest
in
India.
Advantages:
1.
Cheapest
package.
I
am
not
mentioning
rates
here
as
most
of
clients
come
from
agents.
2.
Single
window
for
all
activity.
They
will
collect
you
from
single
spot.
1-2
minutes
of
instructions
and
throw
you
in
boat.
Mostly
with
40
another
peoples.
First
scuba
and
then
watersports
as
per
your
package
and
return
to
the
booking
counter.
Here
you
can
collect
your
scuba
video
(60-90
seconds)
Disadvantages:
1.
No
basic
safety
and
hygiene.
I
used
same
mouth
piece
for
scuba
which
was
in
mouth
of
earlier
person
2
minutes
ago.
2.
On
the
spot
underwater
breath
training.
Difficult
for
first
time
scuba
divers.
3.
Actual
scuba
duration
will
not
more
than
5
minutes
(including
training).
If
you
confident
enough
to
go
deep
towards
coral
then
only
they
will
take
you
there.
First
time
divers
will
not
handle
water
pressure
of
10
feet.
No
more
than
one
minutes
at
the
bottom.
4.
Water
quality
and
visibility
is
very
poor.
5.
They
feed
fish
food
to
attract
fishes.
I
dont
know
whether
it
is
good
or
bad
to
those
fishes.
They
must
feed
natural
food
which
available
in
their
natural
habitat.
Bread
and
other
food
must
be
prohibited.
6.
Corals
are
not
good,
looks
like
depressing
and
unhealthy.
7.
around
10-15
big
size
boats
(40
capacity
each)
anchored
in
same
spots
at
a
time.
Those
anchors
often
damage
corals.
8.
There
is
no
any
governing
body
or
union
controls
on
these
services.
Price
war
is
big
between
them.
Minimum
rates
means
compromise
in
service
and
quality.
9.
Other
rides
(Jet
ski,
banana
ride,
jumper
etc)
are
done
in
rush
and
these
are
not
solo
rides.
Even
parasailing
done
with
2
person.
10.
Everything
will
be
in
rush.
No
personal
space
or
customized
schedule
for
individual.
You
will
constantly
be
in
queue.
11.
Consider
other
costs
like
Lockers
airtight
pouches
etc.
Absence
/
less
number
of
changing
rooms
can
ruin
your
trip.
12.
You
must
take
bath
at
the
end
of
your
activities.
Many
service
provider
not
have
bathroom.
13.
Feels
like
unsustainable
eco
system.
They
will
ruin
corals
and
fishes
soon
due
to
excess
activities,
excess
fishing
and
lack
of
conservation.
