All of us are breathing fresh air along with the music. Kunal decided to take break for half an hour for breakfast so we get down at Rajapur we enjoy the Garama garam Misal pav with spicy Tarri at Gajanan Canteen .we resume our journey @ 9:30 to our Guest House. We reached our Guest House@ 12 at our Resort.

We shared some beautiful memories of our previous picnic. After some time all our group members came and join us on the beach. Sindhudurg Fort can be clearly seen from our location which is a very prominent feature.

Everyone was hungry so we left for our lunch. After having lunch we take rest about half an hour & left for our Water sports to Tsunami Island. We left from small boat to Tsunami Island for water sports.
Tsunami Island island has emerged in 2004 after Sunami waves hit the coast. The lagoon type island is not more than 500m long and 200m wide. A local villager told us that prior to 2004, this place used to be under water at least by 3-4 feet even during the low tide. After the sunami wave hit the coast, it has turned into an island during low tide but gets submerged by 2-3 feet during high tide. Location of Sunami Island beach is superb surrounded by Karli river on its west and south sides and back water of Karli river on its east and north side.
Everyone is ready for water sports with life jackets.
Parasailing:
Rohit & Gaurav were the strongest person because they were dipped multiple times than any other pair & still they ask for one more dip.
Bumper Ride
Banana Ride:
For all banana rides they fall down others near the sea shore , but they drop us in middle of the sea this is very adventure for us so we were scared, For our rescue they send one more Jet ski .They pick up us all from middle of the sea & drop us to sea shore. This remind us for our Valley of Flowers trek. And then we were back to our resort.
We had our dinner at resort & move to sea shore for or Bone fire.
We started antakshari boys vs. Girls. All guys were tired so we ended our antakshari @ 12:30 & rest people went for sleep. As usual Me & Kunal were there at sea shore ,sahu also gives us the company till 2:30 am. Then we wind up our bone fire & went for sleep because we need to get up @ 6 am for Dolphin Ride.
Day - 3 (31 Jan 2015):
Knock knock… Knock knock … continuous knocking, I opened the door and found suraj was there to wake up. We all got ready left our Resort @ 7 am for our main destiny Scuba Diving.
We started our journey for Dolphin Ride from our small boat.
We take Poha and Idali for our breakfast in boat, we were unlucky for dolphins but we reach a beautiful Golden Rock. Nivati has a range of beautiful rocks around the beach which gives it a picturesque view.
After beautiful nivati Golden Rock experience, we left for our Sindhudurg Fort. While moving to Sindhudurg fort we found a turtle which was stuck in plastic bag. Our sailor picks him from sea and keeps it in boat and rescues him from plastic bag & release him again in the sea.
After few minutes we reached to Sindhudurg Fort
Reaching Sindhudurg Fort all were thirsty so we ordered Kokam Sarbat & left to view Fort. Sindhudurg Fort has several admirable features in its structure. The massive walls are well-designed to protect the Fort from enemy attacks as well as high tide. Another interesting feature is the main entrance, which is concealed in such a way that no one can pinpoint it from outside.
The great Maratha King, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, built Sindhudurg Fort near seashore of Malvan town in 1664. The Sindhudurg Fort allowed Marathas to counter the enemy attacks and safeguard the coastal line. The Maratha Naval force has played a very significant role in strengthening the empire. With Cannons mounted on the Fort and ships, the Maratha empire achieved apex of the Naval power. In honor of the king, a temple has been built on the Sindhudurg Fort.
We have a special guest in sindudurg Fort

After Fort we finally move to our Destiny Scuba Diving Spot. Scuba Divers instructor guides us properly, and taught us under water signs. After learning all signs instructor sends one by one in to the sea, our first diver was Rohit after that Suraj , priti & Next one was me. As I was easily comfortable with water , me & my instructor swam into the deep waters, I couldn’t believe my eyes; I felt I was in a different world all together. There are plenty of Corals, Rock patches and fishes around us. We were surrounded by beautiful and colorful small fishes, they aren’t harmful and watching them is like a treat to the eyes. It is really hard to describe just how awe-inspiring SCUBA diving is … the underwater world is just so unique. Shoals of fish swim past you whilst some fish poke their heads out of small cracks in the rock. The more you look around, the more you see – Flat coral, Finger corals, damsel fish, Curious batfish and even red snapper fish.
After 20-25 min our instructor pulled up and we reached to our Boat.
One by one everyone went for Scuba Diving. First attempt was not that good for Minal so we guide her how to breath & be confident so she tried for second attempt & she did very well in the second attempt. We all clapped her.
Everybody was hungry so we went in the restaurant for sea food lunch. We eat delicious sea food & return back to our resort. Most of our team members wanted to take a rest so they went for bath & sleep. Few peoples like us never tired so we went directly to the beach & enjoying in sea.
After playing in water about 2 hours we all were quite exhausted so decided to enjoy the sunset. We sat down on beach to enjoy the sunset. Created a small sand architect.
After sun set we all move to our resort for bath & take some rest. After taking dinner @ 10:30 we left the resort & started our return journey to Mumbai. I experienced one of the best and life changing Scuba diving.
