Hard Coral Cafe
Why dive here
With 364+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, dugongs, eagle rays and giant moray eels - Hard Coral Cafe offers some of Lakshadweep's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
Hard Coral Cafe lives up to its name, a gently sloping reef covered in some impressive hard coral formations, mostly table corals and brain corals. At just 19 metres, it’s a calm introduction to Lakshadweep diving, perfect for beginners and those looking for a relaxed multi-level profile. You'll likely spot reef fish weaving through the coral, and we've seen a few green sea turtles here too. It’s a nice, easy dive.
