The 36 coral islands of Lakshadweep provide the perfect backdrop for an off-the-beaten-path dive adventure. Lakshadweep is a string of little-known islands that offer pristine beauty in the form of silver sands, clear waters, and virgin reefs, often compared to Robinson Crusoe's Island. The islands are mostly uninhabited, with only two privately owned resorts on Agatti and Bangaram. Although navigating these parts of the world can be difficult on your own - leave the planning to us - we have figured it all out for you.
Diving
The best time to dive is between November and May. Mantas appear in large numbers between October and December. Water temperatures are typically around 26C. Pods of dolphin are often seen escorting dive boats and underwater you can expect to see plenty of rays, eels, turtles, and plenty of opportunities for macro photography as well.
Please note: Due to monsoons, there is no diving in Bangaram from 1/MAY - 30/SEP.
