Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this first dive experience different?

Most intro dives take you to one type of site. This package gives you two on the same trip — a shipwreck and a coral reef.

•
Dive 1 — Shipwreck: a sunken vessel on the seabed, with fish living in and around the structure.

•
Dive 2 — Coral reef: a natural reef with corals and the fish that live on it.

Two different underwater environments in one morning, both run as guided dives for absolute beginners.
Your day, step by step

•
Welcome & briefing: You meet the FlyingFish Scuba School team. Your instructor covers the basics — hand signals, how the equipment works, and how the two dives will go.

•
Boat ride: A boat ride from the jetty out towards Grande Island, with views of the Goan coastline on the way.

•
Gearing up: Your instructor helps you into your equipment — buoyancy vest (BCD), regulator, mask, and fins — and checks the fit.

•
Dive 1 — the shipwreck (approx. 20 mins): You enter the warm Arabian Sea with your instructor and descend together once you're comfortable breathing at the surface. The instructor stays beside you, often holding on, while you explore the outside of a shallow, beginner-friendly wreck and watch the fish gathered around it.

•
Surface interval: Back on the boat for refreshments and a rest. We may move the boat to the reef during this break.

•
Dive 2 — the coral reef (approx. 20 mins): Back underwater with your instructor for the second dive. The reef is livelier and more colourful than the wreck — coral and schools of bright fish swimming past.

•
Return: After the second dive we head back to shore.

What the two dives feel like
The two dives are very different. The wreck dive is quiet — a submerged structure with marine life that has settled into it, sometimes larger fish sheltering inside. The reef dive is the opposite: lots of colour and movement, smaller fish like parrotfish, angelfish, and butterflyfish, and coral in every shape (look, don't touch). Breathing underwater and floating weightless is the part most people remember.
How we keep it safe
We run the same safety standards on both dives, wreck included:

•
Your instructor is physically with you the whole time, on both dives.

•
Dives stay shallow — typically a maximum of 12 meters (40 feet).

•
We explore the outside of the wreck only. We never enter overhead spaces.

•
You get a clear briefing on the procedures before you enter the water.

•
The scuba gear is well maintained and checked before use.

Goa for a varied first dive
Goa's coastline suits this kind of two-dive trip — shallow wrecks sit close to natural reefs, so we can show you both in one outing. The sea is usually calm and warm through the season (October-May), which makes for easy diving if it's your first time.

Is this first dive experience right for you?

This Wreck & Reef program is a good fit if you are:

• A beginner who wants more than a single standard intro dive.

• Interested in both shipwrecks and coral reefs.

• In Goa looking for a half-day activity.

• A couple or group wanting to do it together.

• Keen to try scuba diving in a safe, guided way.

A few details to know:

• This is a first dive experience, not a certification course.

• It includes two guided dives, about 20 minutes each.

• No prior swimming or diving experience is needed.

• Minimum age is 10 years (please confirm when booking).

If two dives sound better than one, this is the package to book. Our team will guide you through both sites and you keep the photos and video.

My wife and I had an amazing experience with Flying Fish Scuba School and instructor Sunny. Despite her never having been in a swimming pool, my wife completed her dive course successfully thanks to their incredible support and professionalism. If you want quality instruction and genuine care—not scams—this is the place. 100% worth it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. you are looking for scuba diving in Goa, you’ve likely noticed dozens of operators offering "5-in-1" water sports combos at low prices. As a tourist, I was skeptical of these "scammy" setups. I decided to go with FlyingFish Scuba School (based at the Novotel Resort) based on the review It was definitely the right call and I can easily say it's the BEST scuba diving experience in Goa.

The Training & Team
The experience started with a thorough pool session, which was incredibly helpful for getting comfortable with the gear and breathing techniques before heading into open water. A huge shoutout to Mr. Dinesh and Ms. Maitri, they were phenomenal. Both were professional, friendly, and reliable, which is exactly what you want when you’re 10-12 meters underwater.

The Dive (Scuba 40)
I opted for the 40-minute dive. The marine life was beautiful; I saw a variety of fish and healthy coral reefs. They also provided video footage from an action camera, which was a great bonus.
Note on visibility: While the shipwreck is a major draw, we couldn't see it during my session due to visibility issues. It’s worth keeping in mind that nature doesn't always cooperate, but the rest of the dive more than made up for it.

Facilities & Logistics
The logistics were handled very well:

Changing Rooms: Clean and accessible facilities to change out of wet clothes both after the pool session and after returning from the jetty.

Refreshments: Proper snacks were provided, which were much appreciated after the energy-intensive dive.

Safety: The 1:1 instructor-to-student ratio during the dive made the whole experience feel very secure.

Verdict
If you want a "real" diving experience rather than a rushed tourist activity, this is a solid choice. It felt safe, organized, and honest. FlyingFish scuba surely made th diving experience memorable!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. - Did an Open Water DiverScuba course with flying fish scuba in goa. This course stands out because at the same course price across India you get 4+2 speciality course dives, which can hugely improve your performance. As there base is at novotel candolim, you get better convenience if you decide to stay at the resort.

- Our instructor was Anirudh. He was amazing, supportive and clarified all our doubts. You can trust him and his experience. You will learn a lot over the duration of course.

- Dive sites are amazing both the wreck and coral colony.

Happy Diving!

 Verified 40+40 scuba diving
It’s spell bounding experience, I can’t express my happiness. I took 40+40 min long scuba diving . That was intensive and tedious though. I was very eager to see corals and under water 🗺️ world. My instructor Dinesh who truly genuine, with lot of patience listened to me because I was very very anxious once dived into sea!!! I almost gave up, but I asked him 5 mins and repeated the same pool training, eventually I made it😍❣️!! I dived deep equalising my ears often as I have sinusitis problem that caused sharp pain in my ears. My instructor was really helpful and cooperative. Thank you flyingfish scuba for making my dive easier and possible 🪸💖💙

Ashish was an excellent scuba diving trainer and made the whole experience very comfortable. He explained everything clearly and was very patient, especially with beginners. I felt completely safe and confident under his guidance. His calm nature and professionalism made the dive even more enjoyable. Highly recommend Ashish to anyone trying scuba diving for the first time!
