The Suzy wreck

No reviews yetIndia, Goa

A very forgettable wreck dive. We had 2-4 m viz, and an annoying wave driven current, which kept trying to bang us into the ship, which is home to some VERY WELL camouflaged scorpionfish by the way... If you must dive during your holiday in Goa, find some dive sites further from the shore... Located in a little cove about 30 min by boat from Panaji (Goa)

Aravind's Wall

No reviews yetIndia, South India

Here is a great range of corals, lion fish, grouper, kingfish, moray eels, eagle and manta rays, parrot fish, sea snakes, triggerfish, butterflys, angels, bannerfish, crustaceans...... and if you're lucky, even sharks, whale sharks, turtles and dolphins! The Legendary Months: October and March heralds the best Suba Diving and snorkeling season that Pondicherry has to offer. Changes in currents produces calm and still waters and 20m-30m visibility at times. Due to the demand in this season BOOK asap to avoid disappointment. After this, the best months are January - June, and September - November. We dive 11 months of the year!! Only way to get there is with the local DC Temple Adventures. They can take you out to Aravind's Wall 15km offshore. Aravind's Wall is also known as Shark and Snake Garden.
