The propagation of scuba diving in Murudeshwar started to grow in the early 2000s when adventure sports enthusiasts began to explore Netrani Island (Pigeon Island), 20 km off the Murudeshwar coast. Netrani Island was previously a restricted naval base, but once the restrictions were lifted, local fishermen and diving clubs explored Netrani Island’s clearer waters, coral reefs, and marine life. Shortly after, certified diving schools allied with international dive organizations, such as PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), began their training centres in Murudeshwar.
Today, Murudeshwar has increasingly transformed into one of India’s top scuba diving destinations, attracting tourists from Bengaluru, Goa, Mangalore, and even abroad. Compared to Goa, which can be crowded, commercialized and less clean, Murudeshwar provides cleaner water and better visibility (20-25 m). It is also a more peaceful experience.

Trained Certified Dive Instructors – All dives are led by professionals who are trained by internationally recognized agencies, like PADI or SSI.
