Netrani Island

India · Arabian Sea

Netrani Island — known as the Pigeon Island of India — rises from the Arabian Sea off Karnataka with dramatically steep underwater walls and one of the most reliable whale shark aggregations in Asia, drawing divers from October through May for encounters with the ocean's largest fish alongside schooling dogtooth tuna and resident sea turtles.
