Our Philosophy
A yogi follows the spiritual path to nirvana – the attainment of bliss through meditation. Scuba diving is a lot like meditation. When you are underwater you leave your natural element and enter a suspended state. You can hear your every breath and feel life coursing through your veins. Akin to Nirvana, diving opens your mind to a different world that you have never seen or experienced. Forget your worries; your duties and responsibilities; forget the past and the future- live in the moment Become one with the element- – become a Scuba Yogi.
Scuba Yogi is a globally certified, locally owned PADI dive center on the beautiful Neil Island. Whether you’re new to the world of scuba diving, looking to experience your first dive or a seasoned diver looking to take your professional qualifications to the next level, our highly qualified instructors are here to help! Discover the beautiful emerald waters, local marine life and white sand beaches of Neil Island on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of the Indian Subcontinent.
