INS Guldar to Become India's First Underwater Museum

INS Guldar to Become India's First Underwater Museum

The INS Guldar, a retired warship, is being transformed into an underwater museum near Nivati Rock in Sindhudurg, Maharashtra.

This project, funded by the Union Tourism Ministry, involves cleaning the ship and then sinking it to create an artificial coral reef.

The goal is to boost marine conservation and tourism by providing a unique scuba diving experience.

Launched virtually, the project is a collaborative effort between MTDC and local authorities.

This initiative aims to put Sindhudurg on the global tourism map, offering an exciting adventure.
