The reefs and plateaus are home to a variety of large marine life. You can often spot dolphins and sea turtles (Chiloscyllium) cruising through the water.

The underwater landscape is decorated with various corals and tropical fish. You will also find parrotfishes, butterflyfishes, and various species of stingrays (Myliobatiformes) throughout the area.

For those looking closer at the seabed, you might encounter eels (Anguilliformes) and bamboo sharks (Chiloscyllium).

The best time to dive in this region is from October to April. During the monsoon season, you should avoid diving as the sea becomes fierce.

Underwater currents in the Goa area are generally described as weak, making for manageable conditions for most divers.
