About this site
The Conch lies off the southern coast of Sri Lanka near Galle, in the Weligama and Mirissa area of Southern Province, a stretch of coastline where boat dives are launched from small coastal towns along the Indian Ocean. This wreck reaches a maximum depth of around 21 metres and is rated an advanced dive, with divers cautioned about cutting themselves, entanglement, and small openings within the structure. Grouper are a regular sighting on the wreck, and divers have also reported angelfish, batfish, Napoleon wrasse, nurse sharks, pufferfish, snapper, trevally, and triggerfish around the site.
