Cherbaniani Reef
Why dive here
With 364+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, dugongs, eagle rays and giant moray eels - Cherbaniani Reef offers some of Lakshadweep's richest reef diving.
Cherbaniani Reef offers a classic Lakshadweep coral experience, mostly for more experienced divers due to its remote location. We've found the corals here, while not always spectacular, support a good variety of reef fish and pelagics often cruise the deeper sections. Expect encounters with schooling jacks and the occasional reef shark patrolling the outer edges. It's an honest dive, best for those looking to explore an untouched corner of the archipelago.
