A popular adventure sport across the world, Scuba Diving allows one to explore the riches of the underwater world. SCUBA is the short form of ‘Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus' and indicates the self-dependent breathing devices that the divers use during their exploration, completely detached from any surface supply.
The stunning coral reef in the Arabian Sea off the Murudeshwara coast forms the backdrop for its colorful marine life and hosts a number of fish species such as the triggerfish, parrot fish, barracudas or the striped sergeant major. The clear waters in these areas have also been noted to yield rare sightings of Orca whales or smaller species of sharks.
