About this site
The Gladys Moller Wreck lies off Maḍakalapuva (Batticaloa) on Sri Lanka's eastern coast, in a stretch better known for the natural harbor further north at Trincomalee and the scattering of reefs and wreck sites local operators work along this shoreline. The wreck sits in shallow water with a maximum depth of around 12 metres, making it accessible to divers exploring this part of the coast. Divers visiting the site have reported giant trevally and tille trevally patrolling the structure, along with Indian lionfish, red squirrelfish, and tawny hermit crabs tucked into its recesses.
