Here at The Mangaluru.in we love to inspire you to go out and explore the ocean by telling you great dive destinations. So, here’s 2 of the best wreck dives in coastal Karnataka to add to your scuba bucket list.
What to expect during the dive?
Like every other shore in the world, Mangalore, Udupi has its fair share of wrecks that attract fish, coral growth, and the inevitable tourists who come to see them.
Many shipwrecks sink too deeply to be easily visited by recreation scuba divers, and many break apart and end up on the shore. But a few land intact in water that’s shallow enough to dive to without special precautions and equipment (120 feet or less) yet not so shallow that big storm waves smash them into pieces.
Wrecks become artificial coral reefs, and the big hollow space are favorite lurking spots of groupers and perhaps the occasional Fishes.
