Spectacular Diving at Lakshadweep Archipelago, India
The Lakshadweep islands have the same gorgeous marine life and great visibility as the Maldives, only for much cheaper. Kadmat Island is one of the few Lakshadweep islands which is open to foreign tourists. The remoteness of Kadmat Island really gives you a feeling of "getting away from it all" - but this comes at a price, either in terms of money or time. Staying on Kadmat Island and paying for the dives are not expensive (in fact, comparatively cheap), but getting to Kadmat is.
