About this site
Goda Gala is a wreck dive off Unawatuna, also known as the Lord Nelson Wreck, a modern ship that sank in 2000 while carrying cement and now works as an exciting artificial reef. Depths run from 8 to 15 metres and the dive is rated advanced.
Parts of the wreck can be entered, and divers see reef fish and corals, with mantas sometimes present in large numbers. Visibility is excellent and access from Unawatuna is easy, which makes it a favourite among wreck enthusiasts.
