About this site
This site off Sri Lanka's coast features dramatic underwater rock formations and vibrant coral gardens. Strong currents attract large pelagics like tuna and barracuda, while reef sharks patrol the drop-offs. The thermocline creates unique visibility layers, revealing schools of jacks and trevally. Best suited for advanced divers due to the challenging conditions. The Gulf of Mannar's rich biodiversity ensures encounters with colorful reef fish and occasional turtle sightings. Depth ranges from 15 to 40 meters across the sloping reef.
