Lacadives at Havelock

Set within the leafy grounds of the Taj Exotica Resort & Spa on Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep), Lacadives is a PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Center within walking distance of the famed Radhanagar Beach. A dedicated training pool handles confined-water sessions, and a team of six PADI Instructors guides you through the warm waters of the Andaman Sea.

Courses and diving

Whether you're taking your first breaths underwater or logging deep dives, there's a fit here. Learn the fundamentals with the PADI Open Water Diver course, step up to Advanced Open Water, add a PADI Night Diver rating, or join a Half-Day Dive Trip from USD 102. The reefs around Havelock suit new and experienced divers alike, with the celebrated trio of Johnny's Gorge, Jackson's Bar, and Dixon's Pinnacle a must for deep-diving fanatics.

Expect healthy reefs and rich marine life — sharks, turtles, rays, eels, molluscs, corals, and more. With Air Fills, Nitrox, a dive boat, and instruction in English, Bengali, and Hindi, it's a welcoming base for divers of every level.
