Sri Lanka is an amazing underwater destination with a diverse ecology that includes Reefs, Caves, Ruins, and Wrecks.
Sri Lanka is recognized as one of the top 100 wreck dives in the world. The shipwrecks scattered off the coast are covered in marine life, soft corals, macro critters, and large aggregations of schooling fish. We have over 50 interesting wrecks all around the island that even belong to World War I and II including the famous aircraft carrier HMS Hermes (1942), SS British Sergeant (1942), HMS Hollyhock (1942), and RMS Athelstane (1942).
Diving is possible in Sri Lanka year-round depending on the seasonal monsoon of the region.
October to April- Colombo, Negombo, Kalpitiya (West Coast), Beruwala, Hikkaduwa (southwest Coast)
Galle, and Unawatuna (South Coast)
May to September- Trincomalee, Kalmunai, Batticaloa, and Kirinda (East Coast)
