Morjim is a beautiful beach at the Northern tip of Goa. It is a favoured destination specially for our Russian clients who do not mind commuting to Panjim for the diving.

Marbela has ocean view villas and tent villas at around Rs 4500 to 5000. This is the only hotel in this list where we dont provide the complementary pick-up and drop ....instead we have the packages which includes transportation to the dive shop.

Accommodation in South Goa:
Staying in South Goa is not a great idea if you're planning to dive because all the dive sites are at Grande Island (near the airport) and you'll spend several hours driving each way. It is however, a great place to get away from the crowds after your dive holiday is done. Those of you planning to stay on the quieter beaches down south such as Palolem have a huge range of choices.
www.goabeachhuts.com is great site for you to compare and check on the various options available.
