Temple Adventures - Scuba Diving Experience Center - SCUBA tour agency in Puducherry - Pondicherry, India

They are a bunch of super active lovely gang of passionate trainers who will make you very comfortable before taking you to the actual dive. The training inside a big tank in their office is the place you will learn A B C of diving and the way they train you is ultra professional. For a zero knowledge guy like me, they were able to teach patiently by ignoring my mistakes. They will train you till the time you gain confidence. Now one can say that , they are paid for the safety training and hence they are bound to do. I don't agree with that statement as I think training and teaching are the acts of patience and these trainers are not commercial or money minded. You can see that from their passion for the job. Okay, now post the training, ideally one should be taken to the sea for the diving. But for my bad luck when I was in Pondicherry, looked like there was some ban on deep sea diving. So I am not sure that has been lifted now as I write the review. So they took me to an hour and half drive location where they arranged my diving in a quarry. Might sound strange but that was the story I was told during my trip. So I couldn't change their narrative. So my dream diving expedition with fishes and Corals, and marine life in an ocean ended with a real dive in a muddy, dirty, stone filled quarry :-( I can't blame them because I was told about this before training. But they did say that I can see fishes ... I didn't see many but one fish was sleeping what a disastrous ending :-) But I did enjoy the process and I liked the dedication of the trainers. Again after my 45 mint dive I travelled back to their office to take a bath in fresh water. I am uploading a few photos of their first floor. Bathrooms, lockers, gears , all were well maintained. They also gave a certificate that is valid for a year with the PADI logo. Meaning if I go for dive again within a year, there will not be any training. They uploaded my photos in that evening...as anticipated the training photos were more clear due to water clarity. The quarry diving photos were almost surrounded with mud without any aquatic flora and fauna :-) Later, my friends told me that the Quarry Diving was very costly, but as I did it for the first time and I didn't have the previous experience. So I paid the amount they demanded.

It was a fantastic first time experience for my wife and me. Right from the training session to actually scuba diving into the ocean, the instructors were by our side ensuring safety at all times. Appreciate their kindness and patience in this regard. They gave us anti-sea sickness pill just before we left to the dive site. There's a coffee machine, safety lockers for bags(40L max)/valuables, shower rooms, changing rooms, parking available at their centre. They also provided fruits and snacks on the boat at diving site. As a compliment they provided a gift postcard, a QR vc card to scan & download pictures n videos. Yes fee-wise it is what it is, but you can always negotiate. I understand underwater photography is not an easy task, yet I feel that it'd be great and would make us even more happier if those moments captured includes some marine lives in the BG as much as possible.

1)This was my first ever scuba diving experience and I am glad I chose Temple Adventures for it. The Whole team was supportive & encouraging throughout. Like they say they have 15 years of experience in this business, The experience reflects into their services. 2) Writing this specially to thank Mr. "Manu" who was my instructor, Inbetween of dive I wanted to abort due to uneasiness but he guided me to come out of uneasiness and encouraged me to complete it.

My first but won't be the last underwater experience with Temple Adventure. They have a young energetic team of diving instructors in Pondicherry and they will make you feel comfortable and confidence using the diving equipments during the induction day in a big Indoor tank so no need to panic before diving into the ocean. A special thanks to instructor Mary for taking me underwater for an unforgettable experience diving next to fish and species. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone thinking of scuba diving and you will not be disappointed. Thank you all At Temple Adventure.

My first time scuba diving and I had a lovely experience! The whole crew is experienced and friendly. The weather was perfect for diving and visibility was good too. There were so many different species of fish at different depths of the dive ; it was truly a memorable day for me and I thank you, Temple Adventures, for that

They are doing an amazing job. I did scuba diving with 3 of my cousins there. It was truly a wonderful experience. We had great times of our life as it was our first attempt. They took care of all the safety measures. They provided us pool training session before the actual dive where they taught us how to use all the gears and equipments also the sign language. Their facilities were quite friendly and upgraded. We reached the location by a ferry boat that was also all together a great experience. While we danced otw there, we had fruits and other snacks. After the dive they were really quick to share all the photos and videos with us. All together I can say it was a fantastic experience of my life. I'm definitely going to contact them in future for my further dives in and around INDIA. Great!!

They are a great team, right from the beginning, coordination of slot booking to receiving pics/vedios all is 10/10. My trainer was so good, I dived twice and I was doing it for the first time... In mid of bay Bengal it was such gala experience that unable to find words. Prep talk by one of the divers before we actually dived made me so comfortable, my trainer and each involved staff a thanks to you for proving with the life time experience... Thanks TEAM Temple, if I was there in pondi would have gone further for professional diver certification for sure.

We had an amazing experience while diving with temple at Maldives.The effort and the dedication that the team carried forward for a smooth dive trip made us super comfortable .Especially our instructor Pushkar , who taught us better techniques and corrected our basics like a full on support system.Starting from food to accommodation ,it was very good.We are super happy. What a fun dive trip !!!!
