When the speed boat takes, the parasailor takes a step or two and whoosh- in the air!
Scuba diving is a treat, and never fails to astound even the most experienced divers, with its wide variety of marine life. In addition, Goa is blessed with a score of shipwrecks. So while you are saying a “hi” to the little fishes, you might come across the remains of old ships, some even traced to World War 2.

Also the sport is not just for the experts but beginners can also learn it during the morning hours when the wind is light and sea is relatively calm.
Dinghy sailing, also referred to as “beer and sandwich sailing”, is yet another water sport which provides a rather pleasant experience. The sport can be enjoyed by 3-4 people at a time, who can It is as much fun as wind sailing, and being youthful to enjoy this form of sailing isn’t a necessity.
Angling: Sea-food is definitely the utmost favorite cuisine that you would relish on your visit to Goa. So take some time out and catch those little creatures you devour. The Agonda beach in Canacona, is the most favorite spot for Angling. Soormai, salmon and mullet are the easiest catch.
Swimming: It is the most common water sport of the place, enjoyed by both- young and old. The clam beaches of Goa allow you to let loose yourself and float lazily on the gentle waves.
So when you are done with lazing on the beach and ruffling through the sun-kissed sand - let your nerves tighten and feel your adrenaline rushing with your choice of water sport.
