About this site
Madagala sits inland in north-central Sri Lanka, in an area better known for its ancient irrigation tanks and dry-zone terrain than for coastal diving. The coordinates place it well away from the island's coral coastlines, in Anuradhapura District. Available data for the site lists a maximum depth of around 10 metres, consistent with a shallow inland tank or reservoir rather than an open-water or reef dive.
