About the places:
Netrani Island ( Netragudo):
Locally known as Netragudo.The tiny uninhabited Island of Netrani lies 10 nautical miles off the coastal Light House of Bhatkal. With depths ranging from 6 to 40 meters, and visibility between 15 to 30 meters, this island offers excellent diving suitable for certified divers of all experience levels. Netrani is not only home to the great diversity of fish life common to Goa and the Arabian Sea, it is also well known for regular sightings of Turtles, Napoleon Wrasse, Great Barracuda, Cobia, White and Black Tip Sharks, Stingrays and Stonefish. Imagine Grand Central Station in rush hour!

Murdeshwar: (Optional visiting place)
About 16 Kms. from Bhatkal, we come across  the  holy place called Murdeshwar, famous for gorgeous temple  and the beautiful sea shore. the temple, which embodies a Linga, is believed to have erupted when Ravana flung  the Atmalinga at Gokarna while lifting it.
