Welcome to my World!! As a boy, I was fond of water and fish but never got an opportunity to learn to swim in my childhood. But I had a strong connection with water and Fish I was already on the water in the form of Draw-ing, Imagination in 1997. Indian Navy was my target that’s the reason I learned to swim without any instructor in the pool which was in 2009.
God never gives what you what, he always has a different plan for us. Indian Navy didn’t select me…. But I never stopped swimming till now… After completing my Diploma in Mechanical engineering started to work early in my life….
But still, I was missing something in my life …..Life was taking me where it wanted to take me…. Later I decide I want to take my life where I want to take it.
YOU CAN MULTIPLY MONEY ANYTIME IN YOUR LIFE SPAN… BUT NOT YOUR HAPPINESS…
Â
I wanted to do something related to water and I figured it out about Scuba Diving from my friend. And I paid almost 4 months of my salary to do till the professional level (Dive Master) as an Advance fee.
Made the toughest decision in my life after working decades in the Mechanical Industry (Hydraulic Engineer) where I was settled and secured a career in one of the biggest Germany companies in the world I finally resigned …. I still never forget that day…. Trust me it was the hardest decision for me because I wanted to survive without any salary for almost 1 + Year.
The adventure begins now I went to Goa first time in my life not to enjoy guys, but to complete my Divemaster course from Zero–Hero…And trust me guys this was the 1st time I have seen the ocean, sitting in the boat, staying away from my parents, Friends, and alone it was amazing and had lots of fever. I was about to quit because of mental, financial, physical stress…………. Just a thought came into my mind……
I STARTED WITH NOTHING …..NOW I STOP FOR NOTHING….
Then finally decide to just go with the flow….within six months and after a lot of study, training, and diving instead to stop as Divemaster ended to be an Instructor…..This was the best decision of my life. If you want to know more about me you need to wait for my Book…..
I have worked with many dive centres previously and currently working with a couple of Dive Centers in the East and West Coast of India. And I also have hands-on experience in Scuba Equipment. Mechanical engineering is in my blood I can’t live without it. Diving and Engineering are my passion like my two eyes.
That’s a reason I work 5 months as a Dive Professional & 7 months as Freelance Engineer, Swim teacher, Mountaineering.
In this website, I am going to talk about Scuba courses from Basic to Advance level, Dive Trip, Basic Freediving, Swimming, Equipment Sales, Service and many more…..

aravind subramanian2024-06-07Pravin (aka) under water monk ...is a great instructor . I have a huge fear of water and ocean bodies and he make me do both scuba diving and snorkelling. The best thing about Pravin is he understands that fear is normal and common and works with us to overcome the fear. He ensured that I felt safe and that I could do this in the ocean waters of the Andaman and Bali . I strongly recommend pravin for anyone who wants to learn anything to do with swimming, scuba diving, snorkelling ..basically anything to do with water. If you have no fears of water then Pravin can help you challenge yourself with ease and comfort. Thank you Pravin..great teachers are rare and you are one. All the best and to many more sessions with youSiddharth Santosh2024-05-20Exceptional coaching! Whether in the pool or exploring the depths, Praveen guidance has been invaluable. Patient, knowledgeable, and supportive, they've elevated my skills and confidence in swimming and snorkeling. Highly recommend for anyone looking to dive into aquatic adventures!"Jag K2024-05-11Had good expvignesh ravi2024-04-21My journey with Praveen started with a phone call in September 2023 for a swimming enquiry,the very first day he taught me swimming,i decided i am gonna do open water certification with him .He understands your requirements and your behaviour in water thoroughly and accordingly tweaks the strategy of his teaching to your capabilities and slowly pushes you to excel in all the required skills.i believe that was his biggest USP .. Praveen your way of teaching is what makes you to stand apart from others.i will come back to you for my future upskilling courses😊😊😊komal naik2024-03-04Wonderful instructor !dhiraj kumar2024-03-01I did my freediving certification with Praveen and it has been one of the best master student experiences for me. He is very meticulous with the teaching leaving no small detail behind right from theory and dry land breathing exercises in zoom to open water sessions in person. He was very patient and understanding with the times I was struggling in water but never stopped helping with details and techniques that pushed me to get pool certified and free dive more than 6m in open water. I am definitely gng back to him for 10m goals and beyond. If you are someone who is thinking of freediving , Praveen is one of the best in India.Prerna Pandey2024-02-22Praveen is a very dedicated and diligent trainer and focuses on getting the basics right. He trained us very patiently answering all our basic questions to get us comfortable with water. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is interested in going into water.Sneha Radhakrishnan2024-02-16When I decided to try my hands at Snorkelling and Scuba diving Praveen gave me clear detailed instructions and once I was in the water he methodically guided me and on the same day, in no time I was able to snorkel on my own with the help of his instructions and the confidence he shared, this was a big step for me as a non-swimmer. Absolutely glad I got to do my first dive with someone who knows his way in deep waters, Thank you Praveen :)Nakul Kakar2024-02-08If you want to go for any of the courses like open water and advance open water or a freediving course which I did then hands down This is your best option in India 🇮🇳. The instructor just don’t give up on the students and his technique and patience make the impossible also possible.
