Dive-site story
Set along the Arabian Sea coast in Kerala, this site features submerged granite rocky formations interspersed with sandy patches and artificial reef structures. The underwater landscape slopes gently from the nearshore shallows, sheltering a wide variety of coastal reef fish and macro critters among the cracks and crevices. Surge can stir up the bottom closer to the beach, so divers typically focus their exploration around the isolated boulder clusters where marine life congregates.
Submerged granite boulder fields covered in encrusting marine growth
Frequent encounters with schooling batfish and solitary cuttlefish hovering near the sand
Macro subjects such as pipefish, nudibranchs, and juvenile morays tucked into rocky fissures
