Located a short boat ride from Nilaveli Beach, Mortar Rock is a pleasant shallow dive site offering diving suited to beginners and experienced divers alike. Descend just south of a surfacing rock formation on the outskirts of the Pigeon Island National Park to find plentiful large encrusting corals from 5-8m meters. Meander between large coral stacks and small reef ecosystems and keep an eye out for octopus that inhabit the cracks and crevices between the rocks. Dives are long and peaceful here…
Located a short boat ride from Nilaveli Beach, Mortar Rock is a pleasant shallow dive site offering diving suited to beginners and experienced divers alike. Descend just south of a surfacing rock formation on the outskirts of the Pigeon Island National Park to find plentiful large encrusting corals from 5-8m meters. Meander between large coral stacks and small reef ecosystems and keep an eye out for octopus that inhabit the cracks and crevices between the rocks. Dives are long and peaceful here due to the shallow depths and mixed benthic flora to explore at your leisure. Due to its location outside the Pigeon Island this is a popular location for diving and snorkelling boats so arrive in the morning for the best chance with conditions.
