Before the journey
Plan the whole journey to Kadmat before committing to travel. An arrival on another island does not confirm an onward connection.
Passenger ships are usually the more economical mainland option, depending on route and cabin class. Check IRCTC Lakshadweep for actual sailings, fares and island calls; the operating fleet varies with the season and maintenance. Permit holders need their permit details for reservation. Confirm the return journey too.
Flights arrive on Agatti (AGX), Lakshadweep’s only airport. Check Kochi with Alliance Air or IndiGo, Bengaluru with IndiGo, and Goa with FLY91 for your dates. Continue to Kadmat by a separately confirmed high-speed vessel or authorised boat service. Check the operator, day, baggage, cost and return connection; sea conditions can alter schedules and travel times.
Apply through the official e-Permit portal for your nationality, visit category, dates and islands, including transit islands. Scuba Lak recommends starting at least 15 days ahead, preferably earlier—not a guaranteed government processing time. Obtain the approved permit before travel; a flight booking or application receipt does not replace it.

Your agreed dive price includes local dive transport, equipment, briefing and guided support, and underwater photos/videos, with no hidden charges for the agreed plan. Flights or ferries to Lakshadweep, accommodation and entry-permit fees are separate. Confirm the total and exact arrangements before payment.
Ask the relevant providers for their written cancellation, refund and rescheduling terms before confirming. Include contingency time in your itinerary and recheck the arrangements close to travel.
Do not plan a Kadmat visit around a special transport service without direct confirmation from its authorised operator. The existence of a helipad or a past route does not establish a bookable tourist service for your dates.
