About Group Dive Trips & Expeditions
Why I Dive Together
Honestly, being a diver from Bengaluru, I know what it’s like to crave the ocean even when you’re landlocked. Our group dive trips are all about bringing that namma Bengaluru (our Bengaluru) spirit to some of the world’s best underwater spots. You don’t just get a holiday, you get to explore with fellow ocean lovers and come back with new stories (and friends).
How We Roll
- I put community first. The dives are epic, but it’s the people that make it memorable.
- Safety is a must. Briefings, expert guides, no shortcuts.
- We respect the ocean. Whether it’s spotting a whale shark or a tiny nudibranch, we leave nature as we find it.
Where We Dive
- Maldives: Think liveaboard dive adventures, manta encounters, and chilling in a jacuzzi after a long day underwater.
- Lakshadweep: India’s secret gem - crazy clear water, vibrant reefs, easy to reach.
- Andamans: Rainforest meets reef. Small, focused groups for a tight dive crew.
- Philippines: For those who want a real guided scuba diving expedition - shipwrecks, elusive sharks, adventure.
- Malaysia: Dive off an old oil rig at Sipadan, legendary for big schools and turtles.
Who Joins Us
- Certified divers wanting just pure fun.
- Newbies and students - trips are beginner friendly for group diving and learning.
- Non-divers and snorkelers - plenty for you too, from island hopping to sun decks.
Beyond the Bubbles
It’s not just about what you see underwater. It’s the beach barbecues, goofy photos, and those chats that turn dive buddies into actual friends. If you’re obsessed with the ocean, you’ll fit right in.
What’s Included (Mostly)
- Stays at resorts or liveaboard yachts
- All meals (diving makes you hungry, trust me)
- Dives with tanks/weights, internal transfers, guides and instructors to keep things smooth

My Story
People always ask - Scuba diving in Bangalore, seriously? But yeah, ocean ka pull (pull of the ocean) is real, even in namma Bengaluru! That’s why Aquanaut India sits right on Brigade Road, not just as a store but as a hangout for anyone dreaming of underwater adventures. I’ve seen everyone – doctors, artists, whole families, kids, and loads of women getting certified. Once you’re underwater, no barriers, just freedom. The stories we collect, wild stuff! Like the guy in Kannada wanting gear for a flooded well. Dive in, join the madness.
