Often referred to as the ‘pearl in the Indian Ocean', Sri Lanka offers world-class Scuba-Diving and Snorkelling tours. A multitude of tropical fish, magnificently colourful coral reefs and fascinating ship wrecks can be explored at several locations off the south coast of Sri Lanka. Snorkeling can be done at the dive sites off Bentota, where you can flap and flipper around for up two hours. A guide will accompany you and this is a relaxing experience for anyone who can swim.
There are several dive sites along Sri Lanka's coastline, where vibrant and beautifully shaped coral is home to a varied number of fish species that include the Emperor Angel, the Moorish Idol, Powder Blue Surgeon, Sergeant-Major, Sea Lion, Unicorn, Parrot Fish, Clown, Porcupine, Rays, Eels and others. For more adventurous and experienced divers, dozens of ship wrecks litter the coastline in clear accessible waters. |
