Dive-site story
Situated along the sheltered side of Grande Island off the coast of Goa, Bounty Bay features a gently sloping seafloor scattered with hard coral patches, granite boulders, and sandy stretches. The shallow, protected environment makes it a frequent training ground for open water courses while offering calm exploratory routes for macro photography enthusiasts searching small fissures for cryptic marine life.
Protected shallow bay conditions suitable for novice divers and training dives
Granite rock formations sheltering a variety of Arabian Sea reef fish and invertebrates
Frequent encounters with cuttlefish hovering over sandy bottom patches
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Diving operations in Goa halt during the southwest monsoon months from June through September due to rough sea conditions and reduced water clarity.
