About Aravind'S Wall
Aravind's Wall is an offshore wall dive off the Pondicherry coast, known for its long rock formation and sub-sites. It is a boat-led site for experienced divers, with the wall and ridges giving each section a different feel and rewarding careful buoyancy and gas management. Strong current and variable visibility are part of the plan, so it is more of a drift-and-explore dive than an easy sightseeing stop. When conditions line up, the wall can hold excellent corals and a wide mix of reef fish and pelagics.
