A Must visit place for Scuba diving in South INDIA

Netrani is a small island of India located in the Arabian Sea. It is off the coast of Karnataka situated approximately 10 nautical miles (19 km) from the temple town of Murudeshwara in Bhatkal Taluka. The island can be seen from the mainland over 15 km (9.3 miles) away and top view looks in heart shape

🔸Netrani is a coral island whose reefs teem with many varieties of butterfly fish, trigger fish, parrot fish, eel and shrimp. Divers have also reported seeing orcas and whale sharks around the island though when we were there no whales were spoted

🔸It has scuba diving facilities and is easily accessible from Bhatkal, Mangalore, Goa,
 Mumbai or Bangalore. There are dive shops at Murudeshwar  and Goa which regularly organize trips to the island

🔸Diving is popular between october and may and is done from a boat anchored close to the island.

🔸It takes pretty good time to reach the Island(1 hour 45 minutes) so start early morning as by the time you finish dive and come back  to murudeshwar  it will be evening.

🔸Cost varies depends on the provider so do check before you start and the process, as I have done with @aqua_ride_murudeshwar

🔸You don't need to know swimming to do scuba if it's been taken care by the Dive master's.

🔸There is no time limit for snorkeling and spending in water or diving if you want to spend enough time.

My Experience:

Being a aquaphobic it was not easy to take that plunge into sea, it took time for me to gather that courage and i always wanted to over come the fear associated with water.

And this time after gathering all that courage finally when I was able to see the life under water the words felt apart to explain and my soul remained calm and felt more alive after overcoming that greatest fear and seeing the world under water..🤿🏊🐠🐋🐟

This place is shown in the recent movie Gandhada Gudi and also one of the most suitable place for scuba, snorkeling and for the deep diving as well.

One must visit this place in India 🇮🇳
