Hi everyone,
I'm planning a trip to Lakshadweep next March with my girlfriend. I'm certified but she hasn't dived before so she wants to do an Open Water course. There isn't a lot of information available about the islands. SPORTS (the Lakshadweep government tourism board) tells me there are dive centres on Kadmat and Bangaram. I think the Kadmat centre is run by Lacadives.
So, my questions for anyone that has dived the islands are:
1 - On which islands are there decent dive centres? Do they offer courses?
2 - Where is the best diving in the islands? What is the condition of the corals, what kind of sea life can I expect to see?
3 - What is the accommodation like? I've heard very mixed reports!
4 - Which island(s) would you recommend?
Thanks!
