😠 Ok if you want it short then...lets say its Not worth the time and money, very tedious drive, rude behavior of the staff, you CANNOT SEE more than 5 inches in that cloudy water!

    Ok if you want it short then...lets say its Not worth the time and money, very tedious drive, rude behavior of the staff, you CANNOT SEE more than 5 inches in that cloudy water! If you need more explanation to it read the below :) Wandering in the beaches of Goa for any activity a guy approached us for a package of activity for our group, he mentioned that there will be pickup and drop inclusive of breakfast and lunch, per person charges would be around 2200-2400 (not sure of the exact amount) which include scuba diving. We did not think to ask where they would take us as we thought it might be somewhere around goa, authorized persons for activities in goa do not provide any packages and they have banana ride, speed boat and parasailing. We were happy to have found a package and a days plan was made. Next morning after waiting for 1hr and lot of heated conversation between the van driver and one of our friends the driver shows up in a van with a couple already boarded (poor couple didn't know what they were getting into like us). we started around 9 and we started our looooong journey, what started as a exciting day soon turned out to be great seeing the driver in his late 60's driving the van not more than his age, yes 60! in a highway(sarcasm intended). A hour passed by still no sight of the destination as we stopped in a highway hotel for our breakfast, the food was not so good there was no salt and spice whatsoever we even had doubt that they used rotten eggs and veggies. Most of our gang did not have any food other than instant coffee provided. Then we started in our quest yet again, time passed by but the destinations is not in sight. After 3 hours of the sluggish drive we reached our destination. We could find people in their rides playing in a distance and few parasailing, we got a little excited...got into a boat with few other people around 35 we went straight to scuba diving spot its near Sindhudurg fort, the water is too cloudy, the corals were all dead or probably sold and there was no live activity there other than few fishes which they feed and that too we cannot see more than 5 inches clearly, do not be fooled by all the posters and canvas they have to attract the crowd in their booking office. There is nothing to take other than experience of going into the sea with oxygen, and they use the same mouth piece for everyone when I think of that even now feel like puking. Then we went straight to the beach for other activities, there was banana ride and a couple more like that and a water scooter on which if you are a women you would get a longer trip and unfortunately if you are a guy you could enjoy half the trip they get (yes we noticed every gal in our gang got a big round). After which we did not know where to go and whom to contact for our parasailing, and a boat just came shore and we asked the person and he told us to wait on the boat, as few of our friends were munching on the shore where the driver was sitting and having a view of the rare sea he gets to see everyday myself and few friends were sitting on a tied boat which was oscillating which made few sea sick including me. After sitting for nearly 45 mins my friend had a heated conversation which the boat driver (since only he knew hindi) as of when he will be taking us since we had 1.5yr old on board with us and was waiting there for eternity everyone was frustrated with their behavior. After few minutes the helper guy on the boat came and asked everyone to wear life jacket, its was all on drenched in water we all did and he was so arrogant that he want the kid to wear a life jacket, can you even imagine if any sane person would want a infant to wear a adult sized life jacket drenched in sea water?? and again a fight broke between my friend and him eventually he gave up. The boat did not have enough life jacket when we pointed out that and the helper guy saw one in the floor while we are all seeing him walked ON IT...can you believe him?? ON IT!! and he asked my friend to wear them and there was a fight again. FINAL Words: Do not choose them.

    You can enjoy all kind of water sports and scuba but do negotiate the price as it varies from customer to customer. Also one negative things is they give you very less time for any sport/scuba activities, so it doesn't feel like money spent well until you get a very good deal.

    Worst experience. Honest opinion Scuba trainer won't give you proper training, goggles were not clear, plus water is not at all clear. Please avoid scuba around fort

    Always wanted a day out which is full of adventure and fun. It was a great experience traveling to Malvan. Thanks to the organizers of the trip. They made my day full of adventure with watersports activities. Would like to visit Malvan at least once in a year especially to enjoy watersports activities which they organized.
