Bhushan and team gives you the best experience of scuba diving in the most reasonable price. Bhushan helped us to the maximum extent to make this trip easy and memorable. I suggest everyone to go scuba diving through him and not any packages since not everyone takes you deep sea. Most of them just make you stay on the surface of the water with an oxygen cylinder and take pictures. Bhushan and team were extremely helpful and humble. Would definitely recommend them any day! Thank you, you guys were the best!

Thank you Bhushan, Yogesh, Gaurav, Jaywant & team for providing us with fond memories and awesome experience.We were visiting Tarkarli for the first time. And first time in an unknown place, a commercialised zone, there is always a fear of being cheated. So we had planned to spend time at Sndhudurg fort, play in the beach and go for Dolphin safari. At the same time we were also searching the internet for water sport / adventure service providers. There were many listings and we decided to approach one by one. That's when we contacted Bhushan. He was first one we had called. Right from patiently answering our queries related to SCUBA diving and helping us plan the entire trip, we were very impressed. He was down to earth, genuine & trustworthy, that we ended finalizing his team (before 10 days of our intended travel) for our first SCUBA diving experience. Bhushan is a one stop person and was always available over phone whenever we needed him. He had helped us obtain the best of bargains for the boating safari and for water sports. He also helped us to savour the local delicacies at the best venues in Tarkarli. It was a very pleasant experience and we felt that Bhushan & team were almost like one among us. Bhushan stays on land and coordinates with Yogesh & team to provide the ultimate experience. Yogesh is a Diver cum instructor who accompanied us on the boat to the diving spot. We took the private diving package offered by them as two of us in our 3 member group didn't know swimming and hydrophobic. Not knowing swimming is not a constraint but a boon in the case of assisted SCUBA diving. The private package included divers for each one of us. Fully filled oxygen tanks (usable for 2 hrs underwater) for each one of us, a instructor and a boatsman. So 7 of us in one boat to the diving spot. The first thing in assisted SCUBA diving is to get accustomed to the breathing sequence and second is to have complete undoubted faith on your diving instructor. We changed to our diving suits and had a 15 minute briefing session on the do's and don'ts. Then we stepped out of the boat into the water for practising breathing sequence. The sooner you get accustomed to, the more you can spend time under water. But there was no hurry. Yogesh and team waited patiently while we got accustomed. As mentioned, they helped in overcoming the fear of water and also took pains to generate the confidence.. and they took us under water. At a depth of 30 feet!! under water we were shown fishes, sea plants, coral reefs & ocean bed. It was truly an amazing and mesmerizing experience. Each one of us spent about 40 minutes underwater with underwater photoshoot and video & with about 20 mins to get used to the breathing routine. Overall one half day well spent. Note: Underwater visibility is weather dependent. The day when we dove, visibility was bit poor and we had to reach to around 30 feet (close enough) to actually see the marine life, which otherwise on a clear day would be visible from about 15-20 feet. Verdict: Would strongly recommend Bhushan to anyone visiting Tarkarli and their private SCUBA diving package for getting a once in a lifetime experience of SCUBA diving especially when you're doing it for the first time. Special mention: Knowledge of swimming is not mandatory. #scubadiving, #divevengurla, #bhushan, #yogesh, #scubadivingtarkarli, #Tarkarli.
