Does the thought of being in the deep, mysterious depths of water, surrounded by exotic fish stimulate you? Do you dream of going to unexplored, untouched territories and becoming one with nature, literally? Lacadives is the only Indian overseas scuba diving centre affiliated to the World Underwater Federation (CMAS in its French translation). Now in its eleventh year, Lacadives is the brainchild of well-known ad man Prahlad Kakar and has two diving centers – one at Kadmat Island, set up in 1995 and the other at Bangaram Island, set up in 2000.

Sitting in his Tardeo office Kakar speaks about his passion – scuba diving. “I was in Mauritius more than a decade ago when I learnt the beginner course in scuba diving. It was such an indescribable experience that I knew I had to do it again and again. When people talk about Lakshadweep, they always end up thinking about the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. What they don’t realise is that there are more virgin islands on the eastern coast as well. Kadmat and Bangaram are virtually unknown islands,” said Kakkar.
