      We wanted to do scuba diving during our trip Andaman Nicobar. We got this contact of great next on social network. Tanv of i great next was very cordial and give us a clear insight not only on scuba diving but also the informations what she had that was helpful for our trip. We were well guided to the ideal place for scuba diving at Havelock. Also we got a very good price advantage and much more economical. Had we done scuba directly we would have lost at least Rs 20,000. They arranged us a awesome place for scuba diving. I would love to recommend the great next.
