......See the coral
reefs and the tortoise swimming here. (The Lakshadweep Islands
are the only Islands in India which have the Coral Reefs). Watch
out the thrill of discovery and the access to the seascape well
beyond the bounds of the human discovery imagination. Play with
the froth, swim in the layers of waters, feel the touch of the
reefs, dip into the sea and the sea animals for yourself. ....
....
....There are two
options – either you can lazily lie down the sand beaches
or you can take a dip in the sea waters and forget the rest. For
those love to lie under the sea – there are a number of sea
side stalls furnished with all the goodies to serve the
tourists. Other can enjoy the water sports like rafting,
snorkeling, para - sailing, para - jumping and sports like that.
Other activities which are very popular in Lakshadweep Islands
are Swimming Classes, Underwater Swimming Classes, kayaks, sail
boating and Tuna Fishing........
