 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding deep sea diving experience with Blue Corals Dive at Juvis. The 1-on-1 instructor guidance was top-notch, patient, and reassuring. Getting a full 50-minute dive rather than a rushed session makes all the difference, and the marine life was spectacular. Seamless hotel transfers and great photos/videos to take home. Highly recommended!

 Verified First flight to Swaraj Dweep & Scuba Diving I have done scuba diving for the first time, just by dint of detailed briefing I was able to experience another world that is out of human sight as they live under water including a variety of fishes and octopuses, coral reefs, etc. I would like to thank Team Blue Coral dive to make this experience quite memorable. Additionally, if someone is travelling with their kids, there is a girl who takes care of little ones perfectly. I shall endeavor to recommend Blue Coral to my near and dear ones as and when they visit Swaraj Dweep.

 Verified Snorkeling at Blue Corals Dive As a non swimmer who is also afraid of animals, I was a little apprehensive of snorkeling. I'm so glad I went ahead anyway, because it was an experience of a lifetime. The team made it so easy with a practice session, instructions, close 1:1 attention and top notch equipment. They charged 3000/- per person and it was worth every penny! The entire activity lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours! Say hi to Alpha the dog when you're around here!

 Verified One of a kind I went snorkeling and it was an amazing experience. The staff were extremely helpful and polite and gave ample time in the water to get the complete experience. Snorkeling cost was 3000 INR and the duration was 90 minutes roughly. There were 4 other people. Best for diving and snorkeling.
