High quality equipment of international standards has been imported for the
Kadmath Institute of Water Sports in Lakshdweep. This includes snorkels, glass-
bottomed boats, rowing and motor boats, equipment for wind surfing, scuba diving,
Para sailing and water skiing.
Water sports facilities like kayaking, sailing, paddle boats, inflatable motor
boats, glass - bottom boats and water skiing are available in the islands of
Kavaratti, Kalpeni, Kadmath and Minicoy in Lakshadweep.
Traditional folk dances of the islands are performed by local men. Performances
are available on request. No other form of entertainment exists except TV and
Radio.
One interesting consequence of the Administration's concern for ecology is the
promotion of the concept of day tourism. A passenger liner anchoring near an
island provides both transport and accommodation. Tourists therefore have the
best of both worlds- comfortable accommodation and service on board the ship,
combined with the beauty of the island and water sports facilities during the
day.
