This dive site, known as Snapper City, is located close to the eastern jetty and is uniquely marked by a tsunami buoy that serves as its mooring line. The underwater topography features a broken reef that commences at an approximate depth of 14 meters, gently sloping down to 25 meters on its eastern side. The other two directions boast areas of regenerating coral, providing a vital nursery for various juvenile marine species. While no specific history or story is provided, its name suggests a potential abundance of snapper fish in the past or present. Divers at Snapper City can anticipate encountering a rich array of marine life. Notable larger inhabitants include Hawksbill and Green Turtles. The reef teems with a variety of fish such as bannerfish, mullets, parrotfish, batfish, groupers, angelfish, and butterfly fish. The presence of regrowing corals and juvenile fish indicates a healthy and evolving ecosystem. The best time to visit Snapper City generally aligns with the dry season in the Lakshadweep region, typically from October to May, offering calmer seas and optimal visibility.
