Lacadives at Havelock - Andaman Islands
Lacadives at Havelock is a solid pick for divers looking for professional PADI instruction in the Andamans. They run a well-organised operation, offering everything from beginner courses up to Instructor Development. What we really appreciate is their focus on smaller groups, which makes a big difference when you’re learning or just want a more relaxed dive. If you're keen to progress your diving education or you're a newer diver wanting a bit more hand-holding than a typical resort shop, Lacadives is a strong contender.
