Good to know
Why a 10-dive minimum on a beginner trip?
Netrani is gentle, but a little buoyancy experience makes the reef diving far more enjoyable and protects the coral. Close to 10 dives is the sweet spot.
How do I get there?
Fly or train to Mangalore/Gokarna and reach Murudeshwar by road. We'll share exact logistics once your slot is confirmed.
Is February a good time?
Yes — winter brings the calmest seas and best visibility of the season on this coast.
