Diving in Sri Lanka

Explore diving in Sri Lanka

Bathed in warm Indian Ocean currents, and with 1600 km of palm-fringed coastline, Sri Lanka is an amazing dive destination. The waters of Sri Lanka are home to an incredible range of marine creatures from massive blue whales all the way through to tiny nudibranch.

Sri Lanka has an abundance of great sites to discover including wrecks scattered off the coast - local divers are still discovering new ones. Many of the wrecks are covered in marine life, soft corals, macro critters and large aggregations of schooling fish.

Above the surface, Sri Lanka also boasts wildlife reserves, which protect native species such as leopards, porcupines and anteaters. It is also famous for unique foods and teas, which should be sampled as part of any dive trip.
