Lakshadweep Islands, Kerala, Goa, Maharashtra and Gujarat are the states where diving
centres are tapping the market demand by training adventure sport lovers. "Now, there is a
lot of demand of youngsters seeking employment in Gulf, South Africa and Spain where my
trained students are drawing a handsome salary,"

specialised equipments in such training centres. "After finishing this course, I am going
