The team at the dive shop is great, make you feel welcome. The equipment is good and well maintained. Gary and his team are great. Great dive sites with many interesting things to see, wreck , fishes and coral
Absolutely amazing experience with Gary and his team! I and husband are doing scuba diving for the 2nd time with this team. They have very good security measures and give very clear instructions. The location is great too. We thoroughly enjoyed our time under water with the support of the team who are very well trained. I highly recommend Goa Diving with Gary and his team!
While I came here for a 3 day open water course and because of how good the experience was, ended up doing a 2 month dive master course.
I have always wanted to be in water and most of my vacations are planned around sea. Having done a handful of Scuba dives previously, including one in Maldives, I was enthused to do a 3 day course. I chose Goa Diving since it's one of the few Padi certified dive centers in Goa and I am glad I did so.
Goa Diving is managed by the crew, who is friendly, experienced and most importantly patient. The experience was markedly different from all other experiences I previously had. They explained in detail about various scenarios without managing to get me or my husband intimidated, which is very easy to happen when you are not a good swimmer. This is a point where I feel many other non certified local dive shops fail as they are not equipped to properly plan a dive and would take you for a 5-10 minute "tea bag dive" just for photography.
The dive locations are amazing as well and had enough variety to keep you intrigued. Moreover, Goa Diving sets the expectations clear in terms of visibility and experience, based on the day, and never sets you up for disappointment.
Thank you Goa Diving for such a memorable and joyous experience and I will always come back whenever I have a chance.
Amazing experience , great team led by Gary. Had the most amazing scuba experience including the British Ship wreck site...Gary was a real pro, a suave person humble and genuine in his guidance...Lavi - the rockstar who kept on the lively moments, helped with local tips....The most humble boatmen Jockey ever smiling...Plus the other team members Divya , Shameen...All of them gave a lifetime of experience..I did 2 dives with my teeneger son and kudos to Gary and team for providing the best training, taking time and care of us and providing more tha 40 mins of under water experience under sea and similar time above it for Swimming and snorkelling.
Trust me ..If u wanna get the real PADI certified experience in a peaceful and real scuba exp in Goa , with limited persons...Gary is the go to man...Beware of other operators which might sound cheaper yet they are more of a hoards of people in one boat providing just few minutes of water experience ..That too not at the real point of dive...ie near the Grande island.
If u are planning for Scuba in Goa...Just try these amazing bunch of professional, yet courteous guys who are safe and also provide genuine scuba experience....Kudos to you...Gary, Lavi and Jockey....Waiting to meet u guys again
Gary and his team is just awesome....simply awesome...levit will make sure in every possible way to make you feel comfortable if you are a first time diver like he did for my wife. Had a great experience. One has to prebook with them since they dont do a lot of batches. But unlike other scuba diving places in goa they give you more attention and time.
Just don't expect too much as the photos you see on shop or pamplet, it's just value for money "day toure" that includes some water sports, scuba diving, and boat ride including breakfast and lunch with beer and soft drinks... Do BARGAIN best price is 1600 per person
A Mesmerizing Dive Experience with Goa Diving
Unleashing the Depths of Goa's Underwater Wonderland
As an avid adventure enthusiast and a passionate scuba diver, my recent experience with Goa Diving, located adjacent to Bogmalo Panchayat on Bogmalo Beach, Chicolna, Vasco da Gama, was nothing short of extraordinary. Established in 1991, Goa Diving holds the distinction of being Goa's first dive school, and as a PADI center, it offers a comprehensive range of courses for divers of all levels. Having joined as a PADI Divemaster trainee, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the vibrant underwater world and discover the hidden treasures of Goa's marine ecosystem.
Impeccable Training and Professionalism:
Right from the moment I set foot in the dive center, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the friendly and experienced team at Goa Diving. Their dedication to providing top-notch training was evident in every aspect of their operations. The PADI courses offered are meticulously designed and cater to both beginners and experienced divers seeking professional certifications. Under the guidance of highly skilled instructors, I received comprehensive theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical training, ensuring that I was well-prepared to handle the challenges of diving.

The dive sites selected by Goa Diving are nothing short of breathtaking. From vibrant coral reefs to sunken shipwrecks, each dive promised a unique and awe-inspiring experience. As a trainee, I had the opportunity to dive alongside experienced instructors who shared their immense knowledge and expertise. The dive excursions were well-organized and conducted with utmost attention to safety. The equipment provided was modern and well-maintained and ensured a comfortable and secure dive experience.
The underwater world of Goa is a true marvel. The dives with Goa Diving allowed me to witness the incredible diversity of marine life that thrives in these waters. From colourful schools of tropical fish to mesmerizing coral formations, every dive felt like a journey into a different realm. The instructors at Goa Diving were not only adept at spotting hidden marine creatures but also provided valuable insights into the ecology and conservation efforts in the region. It was truly an educational and eye-opening experience.
One aspect that stood out during my time with Goa Diving was their exceptional customer service. The staff members were friendly, accommodating, and always willing to address any concerns or queries. The dive center itself was well-maintained, creating a welcoming atmosphere for divers. The team at Goa Diving went above and beyond to ensure that every diver felt comfortable, safe, and fully immersed in the adventure.

The best Diving school in goa, absolutely amazing....my mother is 63 and the goa diving team was an absolute blessing...they are so patient, allow proper time for new first timers to absorb this difficult adventure. Gary is just perfect instructor.. if you are coming to goa for diving just trust him. Will be back soon to do a full course with him.
