Scuba Diving in Murudeshwar – Your Unforgettable Underwater Adventure
🌊 My First Scuba Diving Experience in Murudeshwar
When people talk about scuba diving in India, most mention Goa or the Andamans. But honestly? My best dive happened in Murudeshwar, a small coastal town in Karnataka that completely surprised me.
Murudeshwar is famous for its towering Shiva statue, but just a short boat ride away lies Netrani Island, also called Pigeon Island. And that’s where the magic begins.
The water here is unbelievably clear, the reefs are colorful, and the fish… wow. I spotted clownfish, butterflyfish, and even a turtle swimming by. The best part? You don’t need to be a swimmer — the instructors guide you one-on-one, so you always feel safe.

Returning with a heart full of memories 💙
It’s honestly one of the most beginner-friendly scuba diving spots in India.
💸 Affordable & Worth It
Most diving spots in India cost a bomb, but here the price is super affordable. I went with Travelling Dost, and for just ₹2,799, they took care of everything — scuba diving, snorkeling, photos, snacks, and safety.
