About Dive Adda
An internationally certified dive centre, proudly affiliated with SSI, born out of a life spent working under water.
Dive Adda was founded by a professional with 15 years of service in the Indian Navy, over a decade in submarines and 10 years in the oil & gas industry. That experience under water is what the centre is built on.
Today our SSI certified instructors take complete beginners on their first breath underwater, train divers up to professional level, and run snorkeling and water activities in Visakhapatnam and Rajahmundry.
