About The Trip

Underwater is so tranquil that a soul venturing it once is bound with it forever. Scuba Diving rushes a seeker to the unknown depths and reveals concealed truths about mother earth. Life emanates in oceans; it is peaceful as heaven, and hundreds of uninterrupted, noiseless beings are busy with their chores. Some fish (of similar nature) are busy moving from point A to B, others are lying close to their shelter, and the mating season is 'ON' for others. There are camouflaging sea creatures; then there are ones which look friendly and inviting. You would only be able to figure out what is happening once you stay and observe closely.

One such magical Scuba Diving site is located 20 km from Murudeshwar, on the sidelines of Netrani Island. Along with this escapade, the Kumta trek awaits your arrival, which is well garnished with Nirvana Cliff View Point, Kagal fort, Heaven Beach, Mystery Cave Beach, Mangodlu/Honnali/Nirvana Beach, Aghanashini Port and fishermen’s village.

Plan The Unplanned is all set to take you on an exciting trip to Netrani Island, which has one of the cleanest diving sites in India. Arabian sea, from ancient times, has been calling travellers, voyagers, and researchers to its remote depths. Safe equipment, accurate weather reports and trained professionals have made life easy today. You don't even need to know swimming to attempt this Scuba Diving. No heavy requirements, no crazy timeline, and no restrictions – take this Scuba Diving at Netrani Island and Kumta Trek as an experience worth cherishing, worth experiencing!

Note: If you want to experience Scuba diving but aren’t quite ready for a certification course, this Introductory Dive is for you. You must be at least twelve years old to do the Introductory Dive. No prior experience with Scuba Diving is necessary, swimming is NOT needed, but you need to be in good physical health.

You will learn the basic safety guidelines and skills needed to dive under the direct supervision of a PADI or SSI Professional.
