Diving is permitted only within safe depths around 30 meters. Decompression chamber is not available at the location. Diving not available from 15 May to 15 September.

For deep-sea big game fishing, Bangaram is an ideal location, besides, Minicoy, Kalpeni and Kadmath. Record size Barracuda, Sailfish, Yellow fin, Travelly and Wahoo have often been landed. Local boats are available for rent with experienced crew. Serious anglers are advised to bring their own equipment.
