Seemitte - Istria Peninsula

Indira-Shastri Dweep offers a gentle entry into Lakshadweep's underwater world, a site we’ve found particularly good for a relaxed afternoon dive. The reef here, while not dramatic, is home to a steady collection of smaller fish. We often spot belted wrasse darting between coral heads, and the Moluccan cardinalfish tend to hang in shimmering schools. Keep an eye out for the coral blennies, they’re masters of camouflage and always a treat to find. It’s a good spot for newer divers, or anyone looking for a calm dive without strong currents.
