WATER SPORTS DURING COVID-19

It is no surprise how Covid-19 has completely turned our lives upside down in a matter of just months and as we continue to adjust to this new normal, we are here to remind you that this process does not always have to be all doom and gloom. 

We know you have been craving to get out and travel again and we also know how the never ending pandemic is holding you back from doing so. But what if we told you that you can have a corona-tension free vacation? Yes, you read that right! 

Here at Urban Nomad Adventures we take all safety measures necessary for a holistic experience. For us every little detail is important and hence we follow certain protocols to the T. ​Let us take you through you a virtual journey of what your time with us at UNA woud look like if you are to join us for any of our ventures- 

• You enter our dive centre, first get greeted by some cute fish residing in our pond and then by one of our dive professionals with a sanitiser and a temperature gun. 
• A self-assessment kit will be provided to you to test yourself for any signs of Covid-19.
• Once we make sure you are sanitised, healthy and do not show any Covid-19 symptoms we can go ahead with your sign-up.
• You will then head to our indoor training pool which is fitted with a filter that runs 24x7. This pool is also emptied, cleaned manually and re-filled with freshwater every 2 days.
• After your training session you will be briefed about what to bring and what precautions to take, in detail for your UNA experience 
• On the day of your experience you will board the boat/kayak which is sanitized before and after every trip every day 
• You will be provided with individual packaged refreshments for a safer experience

These are just some of the many safety measures you will get to witness during your time with us but apart from this we also do the following-

• All our equipment is washed and sanitised on a daily basis after the dives
• Our regulators in particular are washed separately right after every pool training session
• Only a particular wetsuit is handed to you for your entire experience and washed after you return it at the end
• All our staff members work on a rotation basis which means only one group of employees will be physically present, working at the centre for 14 days and then the next group comes in for the next shift
• Our entire dive centre is sanitised by professionals at the end of every day
• The boat we have only operates at 50% capacity to ensure social distancing at all times
• The staff at UNA which also involves our local stakeholders like the boat operators, in-house help and other workers, are periodically tested

In case a situation arises where you develop Covid-19 symptoms upon arrival in Pondicherry, please do not hesitate to reach out to us because we also provide a recovery facility close to the dive centre that will cater to all your needs during this time.
We want you to feel completely at home when you are with us and hence we create and curate experiences to your convenience. You needed some motivation to make your travel plans today and we believe we have given you just the right push to do so!
