Hi Friends,   Hydventura is planning WATER SPORTS over a span of 2 days (APR 5th – 6th ) near Murdeshwar, Karnataka.   Netrani (also known as Pigeon Island) is a tiny island in India located in the Arabian Sea. It is off the coast of Karnataka. It is situated approximately 10 nautical miles (19 km) from the temple town of Murudeshwara.  This Island has some of the best sites for scuba diving easily accessible from Goa, Mumbai or Bangalore.   Netrani is a coral island and therefore suitable for snorkeling and diving activities. Many varieties of coral, butterfly fish, trigger fish, parrot fish, eels and shrimps can be seen here. Divers have also reported seeing orcas[citation needed] and whale sharks around the island. This island offers diving suitable for professionals. The island adjacent to Netrani is used by the Indian navy for target practice. One could see empty shells rusting around Netrani and adjacent island. The best time to visit is between December and January. The resort stops taking tourists for snorkeling and scuba diving during June-September because the sea becomes rough.   NO SWIMMING SKILLS ARE REQUIRED FOR SAME.     The plan goes like this   4th APR: [Friday] 18:00 hrs: Bus to Murdeshwar.   5th APR: [Saturday] 1.       06:00 hrs: Reach Murdeshwar. 2.       06:15 hrs: Get some accommodation at beach site for freshen up & night stay.   3.       07:00 hrs: Go to the beach, & enjoy the water sports available there. 4.       10:00 hrs: Finish water sports, & have breakfast. 5.       11:30 hrs: Get freshen up at the booked accommodation, & pay a visit to the nearby Murdeshwar Temple. 6.       13:00 hrs: Lunch Time. 7.       14:00 hrs: Come back to the booked accommodation, have some rest. 8.       16:00 hrs: Leave to Yana Rocks for sightseeing, in public/private transport. 9.       20:00 hrs: Come back to Murdeshwar, & enjoy the dinner here. 10.   21:00 hrs: Campfire at beach, & play some games before sleeping.  11.   22:00 hrs: Sleep Gurrr... gurrrr..gurrrrrrrrr.           6th APR: [Sunday] 1.       06:00hrs: Wake up, freshen up. 2.       07:30 hrs: Have breakfast at nearby eatery. 3.       08:00 hrs: Start to Nethrani Island for Scuba diving. 4.       09:30 hrs: Scuba diving (It includes the pool training, snorkelling & other related things). 5.       16:30 hrs: Scuba diving Ends. 6.       17:30 hrs: Freshen up at the booked accommodation. 7.       18:00 hrs: Come back to Murdeshwar/Bhatkal  to board the return bus.           7th APR: [Monday] 1.       06:00 hrs: reach Hyderabad         Things to carry: 1.
