India’s first submarine tourism business will be started by the Gujarat government and Mazgaon Dock Limited (MDL). This will make waves in the tourism industry.
The big goal of this project is to study the fascinating sea life around Bet Dwarka, a holy island off the coast of Dwarka city that has a lot of mythological meaning in Hinduism.
Gujarat to launch country’s first submarine tourism in Dwarka
Taking Down the Myth: Bet Dwarka’s Submerged City
Mythological texts from long ago say that Bet Dwarka is home to an underwater city that Lord Krishna himself built.
This mysterious element makes the submarine tourist project even more interesting, since it promises to reveal the secrets that are hidden beneath the waves.
Titanic Inspiration: A One-of-a-Kind Underwater Adventure
The Gujarat submersible tourism project is based on the Titanic submersible mission and aims to provide a one-of-a-kind underwater experience.
Tourists will be able to dive 100 meters below the surface of the water in a specially made submarine. This will give them a chance to get close to the sea life around the island.
Operationalization is coming up: Diwali 2024
The tourism center should be up and running before Diwali in 2024, which will be a happy time for both locals and visitors. This innovative project aims to change the way people visit Gujarat by providing a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that blends mythology, history, and underwater exploration.
People are getting more and more excited because the official project reveal is set to happen at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, which will take place from January 10–12, 2024.
This summit will be a chance to talk about the details and importance of the underwater tourism project. This will show that Gujarat is even more committed to being innovative in the tourist industry.
Details about the submarine: An amazing feat of engineering
There will be room for 30 people on the submarine, which weighs about 35 tonnes. With two sets of window seats, the amazing underwater world can be experienced in comfort by 24 tourists at a time.
This engineering wonder is about to make tourism better and bring people from all over the world.
A New Project for Dwarka to Bring in More Tourists
In his speech, Saurabh Pardhi, managing director of Gujarat Tourism, talked about how unique the idea was and how it could really help tourism in Dwarka.
As the city is already packed with religious tourists who come to see the Dwarkadhish Temple, this underground tourism project should add to the variety of things to see and make it more appealing to a wider range of people.
