Dive In: Explore Life Under The Sea At Malvan This Weekend

The information in this post might be outdated

What's Happening

There's a whole new world waiting to be explored by you. All you've gotta do is head to Malvan, and dive into the Arabian Sea. Bhatkanti Maharashtrachi, an outdoor event organizer in the city, is taking you on an adventure that will make the whole of your 2019 count. Explore the life of aquatic species under the seabeds and come out overwhelmed by the beauty of it. 

For INR 5,000, you will be harnessed with the requisite water-gear, and instructed by some of the best guides and specialists throughout the activity. But that isn't all of it. You get to indulge in some parasailing, exploring the Malvan Fort, snorkeling, witnessing the magnificence of the Rock Gardens, and much more. Your meals (relish some fresh Bangada fish curry) are included in what you pay, along with the comfortable accommodation. 

Definitely not that bad a deal, we think. And if you have scuba diving in your life's to-do list, here's your chance to tick it off!

How's The Venue

Malvan is a small town in the Sindhudurg district of southern Maharashtra, and hosts some of the cleanest beaches (Tarkali is about 8 kilometres away from Malvan. Read about it here.) Apart from being home to silky beaches and the lip-smacking Malvani cuisine, it is also where Alphonso mangoes are produced in bulk. If you visit this beauty, don't forget to pay a visit to the centuries-old fort of Sindhudurg. 

Price Includes

You pay INR 5,200 for the whole experience. And you need to pay an advance of INR 500. If you aren't opting for commuting with Bhatkanti Maharashtrachi, you pay only INR 4,000. 

Make A Note

Your meeting point will be Chitra Cinemas, at Dadar. Assemble there at 6 AM sharp. And do not forget to carry your ID cards, and a pair of extra clothes. Happy diving!
