Scuba dives are done near Sindhudurg Fort, there are 3 different spots near the fort but spot named something like Kings Spot is the most popular. Dive usually lasts for 30 mins ( 10 mins of briefing & 20 mins of actual under water dive along with some under water photo's). You find many operators near Malvan Jetty and they charge approx ₹800 but you can negotiate on it. Ideal time for scuba would be in morning (around 8-10 am ) or during low tide when the visibility in the water is much better.
Its one of the few places to do scuba diving . please note you will find two rates - one part of beach charges Rs 1000 , another Part Charges Rs 700 . Both have same equipment and same allotted timing.
if you are travelling with kid , please make sure to carry water and food , they take boat till some point in the ocean and then take people one by one for diving which takes around 3 hours.
I had visited malvan only for the reason it is one of the spots for Scubadiving. Great beachs clear blue water and friendly people. Travelled from mumbai overnight and reached sindhudurg station by train at 9 am. Took an auto to malvan costing around 400 rs and reached to the beach for diving. They charge rs1000 for around half n hour including basic training and still n video for the same. Wonderful experience and would definitely return.
