Bomb Bay

This dive site, Bomb Bay, is a tiny, relatively shallow, and very rocky cove located on the southeast side of Netrani Island in India. While the stated maximum depth is 15 meters, parts of the site can quickly descend to 12 and then to areas potentially reaching 20-24 meters, offering varied topography. The shallow sections are affected by surge, adding a dynamic element, but generally, the site is considered accessible and suitable for less experienced divers. There is no specific historical information or story provided about the dive site's name or origins. The marine life at Bomb Bay is characterized by healthy schools of fish, including scats, damsels, surgeons, and fusiliers, which are commonly found darting among the rocky structures. The vibrant schools provide an engaging spectacle for divers and snorkelers, showcasing typical reef biodiversity. Bomb Bay is particularly recommended for beginners and snorkelers due to its accessible depths and the diverse, yet manageable, marine encounters. The best time to visit aligns with the general diving season for Netrani Island, typically from October to May, when water conditions are optimal and visibility is generally good. Freedivers will also find the site suitable given its moderate maximum depth. Divers should be mindful of the surge in the shallower parts, which can add a slight challenge but is generally manageable.
