Barefoot Retreats and Leisure Pvt. Ltd.Resort

Barefoot Scuba has been running in the Andaman Islands since 2005. It operates as Barefoot Retreats and Leisure Pvt. Ltd., a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort based on Havelock Island. Six speedboats customized for diving, a filling station, a classroom and a library make up the setup.

The team steers clear of the crowded dive-factory style and keeps its diver-to-professional ratio low. Back on land, a resort on Beach No. 3 offers sea-facing cottages and an all-day cafe. Teaching is in English and Hindi, with other languages on request.
