Netrani Island, off the coast near Murudeshwar, is one of the better dive spots in India. The first time you equalise, descend, and realise you can breathe down there is genuinely magical.
What we saw
- Schools of triggerfish and parrotfish
- A sea turtle gliding past like it owned the place
- A moray eel that was not thrilled about the company
Lessons learned
Diving teaches you to slow your breathing and trust your gear. Turns out that's decent life advice too.
