Karnataka

Karnataka is a coastal Indian state with a mix of inland and nearshore dive opportunities along the Laccadive Sea. The offshore and nearshore sites feature coral and rocky reefs, small wrecks, and abundant marine life typical of the Arabian Sea region, with visibility and currents varying by season. Access is centered around coastal hubs like Mangalore and Udupi, while interior dive options exist in select freshwater bodies and reservoirs within the state. This region offers recreational diving for those exploring Karnataka’s maritime environment and nearby island ecosystems.
