Scuba Diving Activity Holiday in India

Scuba diving in India is a sport that's usually done in the regions, which are least explored and least known. The more secluded a diving destination is, the more adventurous it becomes, as said by the professional divers. The scuba diving and snorkeling adventure in India involves two Tropical Island destinations of the country - Andaman / Nicobar and Lakshwadeep, which have caught the attention of divers from around the world for their remoteness and rich bio-diversity.

The coastal water surrounding of Andaman / Nicobar Islands is a home to one of the richest coral reef Eco-system in the world. The specialty about the coral reefs and underwater formations of these islands is that they are untarnished by human activities. The best season for scuba diving is from December to April.

Popularly known as Lacadives, the waters of Lakshadweep Islands are completely untouched and pure, some even totally unexplored. Kadmat Island is one destination of Lakshadweep that is embraced by a lagoon that stretches across its western shores and sweeps over the northern tip to the east. This natural formation offers you the opportunity to dive in blood warm waters. Waters that have never been dived before invite you to explore an underwater world teeming with marine life and virgin coral reefs.

Third major scuba diving destination is Goa, sport lovers would be amazed to see a similar kind of marine life that is also found in the islands of Maldives. Another adventure grabbing attention of this destination is the presence of wrecks of Spanish and Portuguese galleons and World War II ships. Grande Island near Goa is a major diving site and for some interesting shallow diving you can check out Malvan Shoal.

A noteworthy beach resort diving site is Devbagh near Karwar Beach in Karnataka, which is having eight dive sites on its islands like Kumaragarh, Anjudeep and Sannyasi that surround Devbagh. Also available over here are advanced scuba diving courses that are run by trainers affiliated to PADI, the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, USA.
