Dive sites with Divers of Vingoria
Vengurla lighthouse features dive sites around the impressive British lighthouse, with depths ranging from 10 to 18 metres. These sites are suitable for all certification levels.
The Old Portuguese lighthouse offers more challenging terrain for advanced divers. These deeper, less explored sites are characterised by complex rocky structures and a more rugged underwater landscape.
And some of the dive sites the centre runs.
