Hi All,
I recently visited MALVAN wich is in the SINDHUDURG dist of MAHARASHTRA state as i had heard scuba diving was started there
so when i reached there i found out that scuba diving was closed for some reason and will start in november 2009 back again but SNORKELLING
was on ......so i went on for snorkelling ...and tell you was amazed to see the beauty what i saw .....the snorkelling is done by MTDC trained guides in malvan
just next to the sindhudurg fort build by raje shivaji maharaj of maharashtra some 400 yrs ago and the fort is still standing tall in the sea till date
here is the pic of the location wgere the fort stand

Hey Sikander,
Are you posting any SW fishy snaps later or otherwise this topic can be moved to appropriate forum.
BTW I'm visiting my native place Malvan in just couple of weeks time.  |

now you people will say why sikander is showing us this fort and what connection it has to do with fish or marine section ???
the answer is this .............whale sharks ....coral reefs and snorkellling and scuba diving from MAHARASHTRA TOURISM DEPARTMENT CORPARATION
( M.T.D.C )
now what i saw in snorkelling there and what is there comes later in the post ............but thsi is an article published on 30th april by MTDC in TIMES OF INDIA as this
attracts me to go there for the second time
