About this site
Leather Coral Reef sits off the eastern coast of Sri Lanka near Madakalapuva, in the same stretch of Indian Ocean coastline that includes Trincomalee's sheltered bay and its reef patches. Dive operators in the region typically run boat trips out from Trincomalee town to reach sites like this one. It is rated a beginner dive, and divers have reported clownfish, parrotfish, reef sharks, and sea turtles on the reef.
