About this site
Goda Gala Diyamba, also known as Napoleon Reef, lies just 10 minutes from Unawatuna and takes its name from a resident giant Napoleon wrasse that often weighs over 40 kg.
The reef extends for about a kilometre and has both shallow and deeper areas, with depths of 8 to 15 metres. Groupers, moray eels, sea slugs and colourful reef fish shelter along it, and the mix of depths makes it suitable for divers of all levels.
