scuba diving, parasailing and water skiing.
Water sports facilities like kayaking,
sailing, paddle boats, inflatable
motorboats, glass- bottom boats and water
skiing are available in the islands of
Kavaratti, Kalpeni, Kadmath and Minicoy.
Scuba Diving
A well-equipped and professionally
manned Scuba Diving facility is available at
the resort. As a diving location, the virgin
unexplored undersea, off the reefs of Bangaram,
has been ranked by experienced divers as
being among the best anywhere. Recently an
ancient shipwreck was discovered.
Besides coral, the undersea is particularly
rich in big fish and turtles. Diving sites
are off the reefs and are reached by boat.
Diving courses and lagoon diving is offered
for beginners. 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.
Deep Sea Fishing
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.
