| SAILING |
|
|
 |
 |
|
A gentle and relaxing activity where the only noise is the wind, the sails and the water lapping against the hull. It ca also be a fast active sport where a gust of wind will catch the sail driving you forward with an acceleration which you would not have expected. Sails are airfoils that work by using an airflow set up by the wind and the motion of the boat. |

| WHAT IS SNORKELING? |
|
Snorkeling is a common form of diving on the surface or just below the surface of the water. A snorkel is a tube that allows the diver to breathe while floating at the water's surface. One end fits in the diver's mouth and the other end extends above the water to get air for breathing. You are provided with a mask to see clearly in the water. Make sure to add this in your list of activities when in Agatti. |
|
|
Eiangaram is a tiny teardrop shaped island, which lies close to Agatti Island. Two small islands of Thinnakara and Parali also lie close to Bangaram inside the same lagoon. During nights, phosphorescent plankton which is washed ashore on the coral sands imparts a blue glow to the beach which is breathtakingly enchanting. |

| SCUBA DIVING |
|
|
|
 |
|
Scuba diving is for those who want to explore the world beneath the sea, hidden to naked eyes. The islands offer a wealth of relatively new, untouched dive sites in the world. There are opportunities for divers of all levels of experience and most dive locations are within an easy boat trip from the shore. Diving is very enjoyable and is the only sport where you feel that you are in a zero gravity environment. A must do activity.
Diving here is by all accounts better than anywhere else as El Nino has lesser effect here. The instructors are well trained professionals who can speak English, French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish. |
|
|
Dive to a maximum of 15m with exposure to the sandy coral reef. You can see turtles, nurse sharks and napoleons. There is likelihood to see sand eels, leopard muray eels, lion fish, sting rays and white whale shark. When you go 20m you can see manta rays throughout the year. At a depth of 25m you will see a totally different world. It is usual here to see big schools of jacks, eagle rays and hump heads, the biggest in the parrot fish family. |
| |
| |
| Note 1 |
| Decompression chamber is not available. Diving beyond 35 mt is not permitted Diving outside the reef is only possible between September 15 and MAY 15. All diving activities are at divers' own risk. |
| |
| Note 2 |
| This island is environmentally fragile. Guests are requested to leave the abundance of marine life undisturbed. Feeding of fish has never been practiced here. Hence all sea creatures still behave in their natural way. Do not attempt to ride turtles and manta rays. Guests are welcome to find out the difference of diving in Lakshadweep with other famous dive spots. |
