Barren Island
★★★★★
(74)
This dive site is located around the island of the only active volcano in India. The dive sites have lava rock formations that give it a very distinct look. From black sand to a purple haze, with live corals, this site is definitely world-class and is also very rarely visited.
Manta rays pass through a lot and large active schools of Giant Trevally’s hunting. Tuna and snappers are also seen in abundance.
