About this site
Pigeon Rock lies off Sri Lanka's east coast near Trincomalee, an area known for its bays and coral patches along the Bay of Bengal shoreline. Sites in this stretch are typically reached by short boat trips from the town. The reef here is a beginner dive reaching a maximum depth of around 21 metres, and divers have reported clownfish among the coral.
