So, finally here’s a trail of nerve-wracking adventures that I experienced while learning SCUBA diving in the Andamans. From throwing up in the waters, choppy seas, unclear water, scary dives to finally becoming a PADI certified diver which was on my bucket list since my teenage years. In this series, you’ll witness the bluest ocean, prismatic marine life, fearless dives, and real struggles I had to encounter during the 7-day adventure course! Next part coming soon!

@@TanyaKhanijow Hi Tanya, why did you select 2 different diving agencies for the Open Water and Advanced Certification?
I am genuinely impressed by your persistence and bowled over by your guts coz I tried a few mints of scuba diving in Goa and I know how difficult it is to dive underwater even with an instructor's guiding hand... Nothing but respect for your dear Tanya
This is amazing..i too went to Niel in dec 16 2021 around and had my first boat dive ..such an experience of lifetime. Planning for open dive course this year December too. Thanks for video. Helps alot.

I was there in February, 2022. The islands are so beautiful and serene. The best part was Scuba, quite thrilling and something you shouldn't miss out on. Lovely people too.
Perfection in every aspect, filming, cinematography, effort real time, story telling, underwater enigma, editing. Flawless indeed.

Earlier I loved ur videos but after this I admire. You remind me that I am wasting my life, leading a monotonous nd sedentary life... big love from an old follower.
Hi Tanya, just wanted to say to you that your channel is such an inspiration. I have been watching all the videos you've made and every single time i watch them - this is what I want to do! Traveling is such a fulfilling thing to do and the way you capture it all makes it even more attractive. I really cannot wait to live a life like yours 🤍 ✨ Manifesting it for myself ✨

One of the best vlogs on KZread ❤️❤️ Kudos to u guys ❤️❤️
Informative but not boring! I have been to Andaman recently, tried the dive as a tourist! It was so awesome that I was searching for someone who would film the PADI journey in India, and the youtube recommendation was worth it. It seems that I will be back to Andamans very soon, but this time, definitely for Open Water certification! Thanks a lot!
You beautifully covered all the aspects ❤❤about place,all about diving,food all the important things one needs to carry.i love your videos

Hi Tanya thanks for promoting desi tourist spots and local businesses ....India is awesome
I was watching a Vlog of the Cosmopolitan Awards recently and you were nominated for the Travel Influencer of the year award. When the announcement happened, my first thought how is Tanya not winning? You are deserving of it and more!! I have nothing against the person who won. I myself enjoy watching her content but you're simply underrated!

I am a new viewer and belive me the way you vlog it's so good and helpful if Someone have to travel 💗wow 🤗
Terrific ! Hope to do this sometime soon for my travel channel too
Andaman and Nicobar is one of the favourite topic of UPSC. As an aspirant, I think it will be just wow experience for me. Ofc I can understand the excitement you have. Some facts : 1- Neil Islands, renamed Shaheed Island 2- Great Nicobar Islands has a biosphere reserve. 3- There are in total around 7 National Parks in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. 4- Some of the most beautiful corals and animals like dugongs can be found here. 5- It is less than 200km to go to Indonesia from Great Nicobar. 6- Sentinel Islands is one of the most isolated islands, where Sentinelese tribe live. It is prohibited for outsiders to visit such places. It really is on top of my bucket list. Thanks for sharing scuba diving experience. Enjoy.
Good skills and your confidence is very high I am impressed for your blogs
