Lakshadweep's reefs are the healthiest in Indian waters, mostly because so few people are allowed in.

Bangaram is uninhabited and the only island in the group where alcohol is permitted, which is a strange fact about a very quiet place.

There is nothing to do here beyond the water, and that is precisely what people book it for.

“Coast and surf from guesthouses rather than resorts”
Surf coaching and coastal trips run out of village guesthouses. Two sessions a day, because one is not how anyone learns.
Instruction was patient — I came in nervous and finished wanting to book the next level.
Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed.
Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.
Instruction was patient — I came in nervous and finished wanting to book the next level. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Solid operator.
Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Would send friends their way.
Boat was crowded. Fine for the diving, less fine for the surface intervals. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought.

Every visitor needs an entry permit from the Lakshadweep administration, applied for with ID and a police clearance well in advance. It is not obtainable on arrival and it is the main reason to book through an operator here.
