Maharashtra’s Sindhudurg district is set to emerge as a major marine tourism hub with India’s first underwater museum and submarine tourism project being developed off its coastline near the Nivati Rock formations, around 500 kilometres from Mumbai, reports PTI. The initiative is expected to strengthen adventure and marine tourism in the Konkan region, officials said on Thursday.
The Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) said in a press release that the decommissioned Indian Navy warship has been successfully scuttled off the Sindhudurg coast as part of the country’s first underwater museum, artificial reef and submarine tourism project.
