If you’re trying to picture a quick weekend escape from the city and the heat, a Mumbai-based trek and tour organisation is painting reality with their scuba diving and water sports tour at Malvan beach, that is open to Mumbaikars. Digvijay Rathore, one of the founders of the organisation, introduces us to the tour, calling it a joyride. As opposed to a week-long course on scuba diving that offers theoretical and practical learning, the one by Mischief Treks, is an opportunity to get away from the city and jump straight into the water. The tour is designed to include children aged 10 onwards, as well as non-swimmers, to help introduce them to water sports. The four-day tour does not cram too much into a day, allowing participants to savour relaxed onshore moments as well as in the water, and in the case of parasailing, over it.
