The underwater world is probably as close to outer space as you can get. It is like being on an entirely different planet, encountering marine life that is beyond your imagination. Although everyone rushes to Maldives and Thailand to try scuba diving, India is home to some of the best reefs and marine life that you can find out there!
While there is so much that the Indian diving scene has to offer, here are 5 reasons to go scuba diving in India at least once in your lifetime:
1. Waters So Clear, You Can See the Corals from Up Top
The dive sites in Andaman, Lakshadweep, Rameswaram, Pondicherry and even Murdeshwar offer great visibility for scuba diving. Contrary to popular belief, India is home to crystal clear blue waters that make you want to take the plunge the minute you see them. On good days visibility could go as far as 15-20 m underwater! At the shallow dive sites, you can even see the reef below you from the boat itself!
