Scuba Diving in Goa

From News Pioneer to Scuba Founder

For over 25 years, Amitabh was a major force in Indian television news. He helped start some of India's first TV newsrooms and launched multiple news channels from the very beginning. Later, he created a media production company that made non-fiction shows for channels like National Geographic and Sony TV.

The Call of the Ocean

When he was 42, he took a paragliding course to escape the stress of his deadlines — it was there he met a scuba instructor from Goa. Two years later, he tried scuba diving with an Open Water course and was completely hooked. At 48, he left his media career behind to follow his new passion. In 2016, he opened FlyingFish Scuba School.

Today, FlyingFish is more than just a dive school. It's a place for everyone — from first-timers to families and adventurers — to discover the underwater world. The school offers safe, certified SSI courses and focuses on inspiring young divers.

As Founder & Director of FlyingFish, Amitabh guides the school's vision and growth. He wants every activity, from training to eco-friendly projects, to be good for guests, the team, and the ocean.

From Sound Waves to Ocean Currents

Born and raised in the Andaman Islands, Richie's connection with the ocean started early. He took his first dive at just 13 and never looked back. Before diving full-time, Richie built a successful career as a sound engineer — touring, producing, and mastering tracks. But no matter how good the mix, the ocean always called louder.

A Leap into the Deep

In 2023, Richie decided to swap soundboards for scuba tanks and pursue diving as a profession. He completed his Instructor Training Course (ITC) at Dive India, one of India's most respected dive centers, and soon after began teaching and exploring Indonesia's stunning reefs before joining FlyingFish Scuba School.

At FlyingFish

Now in his second season with FlyingFish, Richie has logged over 3,000 dives and certified more than 100 divers. Known for his calm, easygoing teaching style and deep respect for the ocean, Richie brings both experience and island-born instinct to every dive. Whether guiding first-timers or mentoring future pros, he's all about helping people discover the magic beneath the surface.

Beyond the Bubbles

When he's not underwater, Richie loves cooking up something special or spinning a sunset set behind the decks. His life blends creativity, rhythm, and the freedom that comes with following your passion wherever it leads.

Aaron started diving back in 2007, and the ocean's been his home ever since. By 2012, he'd turned his passion into a profession, becoming a certified Scuba Instructor.

Since then, he's conducted over 4,000 Discover Scuba Diving experiences and certified more than 150 divers across Open Water and Specialty courses — each dive turning beginners into believers.

A true all-rounder, Aaron is also a scuba technician — the guy you want around when your gear needs expert hands and a calm head. He's happiest either exploring a shipwreck or peering through coral for tiny macro critters that most people miss.

His dive log reads like an underwater atlas — Andamans, Maldives, Thailand, Malaysia, and Australia — each destination adding new colors to his experience and stories to his dive tales.

At FlyingFish Scuba School, Aaron brings patience, precision, and a sense of fun that makes every dive safe, memorable, and just a little bit magical.

From Office Desks to Ocean Depths

Before finding his true calling underwater, Dinesh worked in the corporate world with Tech Mahindra. The structure and screens of BPO life couldn't contain his curiosity for adventure, and in 2016, he discovered diving — a moment that changed everything. What began as a hobby quickly turned into a full-blown passion and, eventually, a career.

A Deep Dive into Purpose

In 2023, Dinesh made the leap to become a professional Dive Master. Since then, he's logged over 3,000 dives, guided countless guests, and earned a reputation for being one of the most dependable and hardworking members of the FlyingFish Scuba School team. Whether it's organizing gear, managing logistics, or helping divers feel safe and confident underwater, Dinesh is the guy who gets the job done — no matter what.

Sunil is the quiet force that keeps everything flowing at FlyingFish Scuba School. From filling tanks to loading gear onto trucks and boats, setting up the pool, and providing surface support on every dive — he ensures every day runs smoothly so instructors and divers can focus on the magic underwater.

Off the dive deck, he shows another talent: cooking delicious meals that keep the team energized and smiling. Sunil may work behind the scenes, but he's the backbone of every dive, every course, and every adventure we run.
