  • Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka’s underwater world is a vibrant playground for snorkelers and scuba divers, offering crystal-clear waters, rich biodiversity, and unforgettable marine experiences. Along the south and east coasts, coral reefs teem with tropical fish, sea turtles, and rays. For snorkelers, shallow waters around Hikkaduwa, Pigeon Island, and Mirissa are ideal—perfect for spotting colorful coral gardens and reef life. Certified divers can explore more dramatic underwater landscapes in Trincomalee, Batticaloa, and Unawatuna, where shipwrecks, underwater caves, and deep reefs reveal another side of Sri Lanka’s natural beauty. Dive conditions vary by season: the south and west coasts are best from November to April, while the east coast thrives from May to September. Reputable dive centers across the island offer training, equipment, and guided excursions, ensuring safety and fun for all levels. Whether you’re snorkeling near the surface or diving deep into the blue, Sri Lanka’s waters promise unforgettable encounters with nature beneath the waves.
