This was my first scuba diving experience and instructors gave us proper training. First they us pool diving sessions to understand the do's and don't of diving. Diving spot was very beautiful with crystal clear water. We reached Netraini island by boat from Murdeshwar beach. The experience of seeing marine life was amazing. Although no luck of seeing Dolphins whine on a boat ride. Overall it was nice experience and our instructors were also very helpful. Thanks for the amazing trip.

Netrani or pigeon island as it is called, is one of the most amazing places to scuba dive as it has the greatest and highest visibility. Boat ride to island was amazing as water was splashing at our faces. There were lot of colourful fishes and other marine creatures. The complete experience was awesome.

Impulsive plans work the best. One fine night we 4 friends planned to go for scuba dive and searched for a place which is near to Bangalore. We had seen lot of images of the Netrani Island and finally decided to go on the coming weekend. This was a really nice experience for all of us and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly!
