From the very beginning, the planning was seamless. In the beginning thanks to Shameen and Zahaan for guiding me through everything—even helping me purchase my first set of dive equipment! Onboard, Anees, Armaan, and Azeem kept the energy high, making sure we were all comfortable, engaged, and having the best time possible.
The boat and crew were fantastic, and diving in Ras Muhammad was absolutely breathtaking—the visibility and marine life were incredibly vibrant. The wreck dives were unforgettable, almost like stepping into a slice of WWII history underwater. And let’s not forget the sunsets and amazing food, which made the whole experience even more surreal.
I came back with a bag full of cherished memories and some truly wonderful friendships. I’m already looking forward to planning the next one!
Thank you, Orca Dive Club, for the unforgettable memories

Becoming a certified diver was a dream I carried for over a decade, one I had attempted 8 years ago but walked away from after a fear of mask clearing took hold. Life moved on, but the dream stayed buried.
This year, I finally decided to do something just for myself. I reached out to friends, shared my story, and every single one of them said the same thing: “Go to Orca. You’ll be in the best hands.”
From the moment I spoke to Tasneem to that first terrifying dive, the journey was intense. I was scared, I panicked, and I almost gave up again. But Anees and the entire Orca team held space for me with patience, care, and discipline. The support from the group pushed me back in, and dive by dive, I began to transform.
By my 17th dive, I could clear my mask with confidence and a smile. I had come full circle.

From the very beginning, their professionalism and attention to detail put us at ease. The instructors were not only incredibly skilled but also exceptionally patient, ensuring that every step of the process was understood and practiced.
What truly stood out was how Shameen, Anees and their sons Zahaan and Arman, made us feel like part of their family. They created a warm, supportive environment that made the learning experience both enjoyable and unforgettable. My son and I gained confidence with each dive, thanks to their personalized guidance and encouragement.

Though diving is a very niche sport but Orca has made diving accessible for everyone. Anees Shameen and their team are amazing. They are very good instructors certifying divers through training programs in Mumbai and various parts of the world.
I recently did an Egypt liveaboard where they managed end to end making my experience superb.
They are amazing underwater photographers also and most of these pics are clicked by them.

Very well conducted trip and responsive team even while planning and booking the dive holiday and Padi course // helpful and professional instructors at Lakshwadweep bangaram island and Maldives Liveaboard made me a senior citizen feel safe and confident even on days when sea was rough and choppy and getting back into dive dhoni was difficult

My teenage son and I had such a fun experience with Orca Dive Club! We did the pool training in Mumbai with them prior to our diving trip elsewhere so that we could enhance safety, gain confidence and also save time when on the actual holiday.
The positive and calm encouragement given by the superb instructors at Orca made the training so enjoyable and relaxed. The sense of confidence and safety created was why an anxious Diver like me could reach a point where I feel ready to take on the ocean!
Our heartfelt thanks to Azeem, Variksh, Niharika, Armaan, Karna (KT), Rida, Salek and of course to the helpers Upendra & Chanda!
We successfully completed our Open Water Diver Course with the positivity and confidence they all gave us…looking forward to diving again with Orca Dive Club.

This is the Gold Standard.
This is one of India’s largest and most experienced PADI 5 star Dive Centre . It is certainly Mumbai’s gold standard for PADI certifications including probably 10000 pool trainings in mumbai over the last 12 years of it being set up by Anees Adenwala.
Orca quite simply has the best team of instructors who are both very professional and very friendly – combining knowledge safety and fun!
Prior to that Anees was in Lakshadweep for over 10 years – first starting out as a young dive guide in Kadmat and then progressing to be the Director of the Dive Centre in Bangaram.
In addition to Dive certifications and continued dive education, Orca Dive Club is India’s leading dive operator for dive trips all over the world stretching from Maldives to Galapagos and Indonesia and also Egypt. They cover both modest budget trips on good liveaboards and also high end dive trips in exclusive dive boats.
Needless to say I only dive with them or through them via their network .
