Cheapest weekend Scuba getaways | A trip to Netrani Island

Explore Netrani Island the Absolute way!

Beach Aerial View Murudeshwar

Finished part of your PADI Open Water Diver course but confused where to finish? Never dived before but want to take the plunge? Stressed with the week and need some relief?

Allow me to take you on a journey to “The treasure in our backyards”: Netrani Island.

Eager and excited, we depart on Friday evening and find ourselves at the gates of a small town in Northern Karnataka called Murudeshwar in time to watch the sun rise over the green hills.

Our dive sites lay around 19 kilometers off the coast where the water clears up and we find ourselves at an isolated and uninhabited Island. Lucky voyagers often spot dolphins en-route. Here, we descend on a lively reef with arguably the clearest water closest to Mainland India’s coastline. Suitable for PADI courses and fun divers, diving Netrani Island is simply a pleasure.

Apart from having a healthy population of reef fish, turtles and eels, locals occasionally spot whale sharks & humpback whales on their migratory routes. Our surface intervals are filled with fresh cut fruits, refreshments and excited chatter about our sightings. After our dives, the captain heads back and we see Shivas statue steadily growing in the distant horizon.

Back on shore and refreshed with a sense of peacefulness, anticipation grows for Day Two. The following day calls for another immersive experience which remains in fond memory for weeks to come. Our journey back begins Sunday evening and some wish that the bus was just a boat taking us to our next dive site.

What can I say about Monday that you don’t already know? Well, let’s look on the bright side. The weekend is not so far away :) If you have ever been to Netrani Island, I’d love to hear your story in the comments section below.

Diving the Lakshadweep Islands | Divers paradise below and above the surface

The mystic Lakshadweep Islands

Ariel view of Bangaram Island - Lakshadweep

The Lakshadweep Islands are a National Treasure. And are guarded as a State Secret by most visitors, diver or not. The lack of bustle in these idyllic atolls has maintained a charm that can only be described as “A step back in Time”. 

As one of the best-kept secrets in India, The Lakshadweep Islands needs to be on the bucket list for all scuba diving enthusiasts!  Almost everyone has heard of these islands but only a select few have truly discovered them. Those who have, swear by it as a "life-changing" & "surreal" experience.

The Lakshadweep is all of that; and so much more! Less is truly more as the Islands remote location and dramatic isolation truly make one feel like they have “stepped back in Time”. Find yourself walking its white sandy beaches staring up at a sky studded with stars. The Lakshadweep Islands truly enchants and allures many a traveler.

Far away from any piece of densely populated land, the Lakshadweep Islands boast unlimited stretches of aquamarine lagoons, undisturbed reefs and a welcoming and friendly population of locals. It’s taken for granted that you would be the only group diving the reefs and the marine life is as curious as for the locals on land. As for the diving, the Islands offer gentle slopes and textbook diving conditions. The islands offer a spectacular view each evening as the fiery sun sets over an expanse of ocean and millions of stars emerge each night as if only for us.
