The best place in Havelock to have a wholesome scubadiving experience. The instructors and the supporting staff are thorough professionals and very helpful and cheerful. The best part was that... read more our accomodation was just a stone's throw away from the shore. The rooms are pristine and have been very tastefully done with all basic amenities and are regularly kept neat and clean. Their inhouse kitchen never let's you miss home cooked food and after a dive, that's basically all one craves for.
Thanks a lot to Poonam, Santosh, Bhawna and a special thanks to our instructor Rohan and the Gypsy divers team for a memorable trip.

  After being faced by plenty of choices for the scuba diving schools at the island, it might be a difficult decision for someone visiting the island to chose one! Well,... read more sometimes the worst thing to have is too many choices. I walked in the Gypsy after getting in contact with Poonam over the phone. She had been quite helpful and clear with her communications since the beginning. I dived with the school for approximately a week.

Starting from the stay, which is quite clean and well equiped. I couldn't have expected more.

Food : One of the best meals I had during my trip was from the kitchen of Gypsy. Truly homemade taste and served with love and smiles!

Dive Staff : Each divemaster/instructor on the team offers something to learn. Be it their diving stories, discussion on best practices, information on equipments and handeling. Everyone gives their best to make your diving experience immemorable and safe. I would like to thank Rohan for all his efforts in preparing me for being a responsible Rescue diver. After the training, I am always more confident and equiped with the techniques of providing emeregency care to someone in distress/need. Thanks a ton.

Management staff : Bhawna and Poonam are doing a great job in handling the management part of the dive school. The information that I recieved was clear. (a small improvement can be made on sharing of dive schedule for the following day a bit early). They made sure that all the planning, logistics , information about the essentials on the islands is handy to the students . All I was left, was to 'dive and learn'. Importantly, the finesse and excellence (as a women-run business) that you two bring is quite remarkable. Bravo!! There was a clear sense of emphathy that topped the amazing dives. It didn't take me long to feel like home while I was at school. Pure bliss, I would say. Would be great to have more women in the dive staff also , no? :)

Finally, I would like to thank you for making my dive experience unforgettable one and cheers to all the team for the hard work that they are putting in for creating a great experience for their students. I hope to see the GD family again someday :)

In retrospect, a choice well made. Highly recommended to other divers.

Gratitude,
Nishant

  Finding the perfect open water course instructors was initially a tough choice. But Poonam was really quick to respond and clarify all the details. We chose to stay in their... read more resort for the duration of course too. The rooms are aesthetically designed and will be the best option to resort during the course as its so nearby. The food menu doesnt have much varieties but the taste of it leaves you spell bound and makes you remind of your home. Gypsy Divers is like a family and it was such a great experience. The best part was learning the basics and skills from Rohan. He is patient and teaches you in a good comfortable pace. It was actually fun learning diving from him. A big thanks to Mr Santosh who is always happy to help with anything and everything. All in all a big thanks for such a great experience and giving us the memories of a life time.

  Very relaxed atmosphere. Trainers know their stuff. Cheerful ambience. Lots of bantering, friendly fun. Good equipment. The dive sites chosen were good for the advance specialization that I did.

Overall, it was very satisfying.

  I did 3 dives and it was amazing!! The entire experience was therapeutic and the scuba instructors were very sweet and nice.
