howdy and welcome from southeast florida usa...happy diving.
Hi,
Unless you count commercial and military operations, diving is non-existent in Mumbai. However, I would recommend you to check out the diving at Netrani, Pigeon Island (in Karwar, India). Clear waters and and abundance of practice torpedoes exist in the area (Island used for target practice by the navy). Diving in Gujurat should pickup soon considering that expeditions are on to discover underwater temples of historical significance near Dwarka.
On the east coast, Pondicherry has some decent diving. The best diving in India can be found either in the Andamans or the Lakshwadeep Islands. Hope this helps.
Cheers!
In 24 dives I only found one torpedo over there, and there is one artillery shell lying on the rockface above the cave.
For a diver that travels S.E Asia, its not worth the trouble to go there just for diving. But if you are a beach bum idling in Goa, its the only place nearby thats worth any diving. You can see most of the fish you'd see in Thailand around this one Island but thats about it - no surface fun or things to do above the water.
Welcome to the hobby. Be prepared to spend $$$ else you going nowhere...

There is also a sunken temple in Bhopal lake. It belongs to Rani Kamlapati. Not sure the condition or if it is diveable but I believe that portions of this are submerged.
