Often referred to as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is an incredible place for world-class snorkelling and diving! Enclosed by a beautiful palm-rimmed coastline, there are many diving sites which provide spectacular sights ranging from abundant species of tropical fish and other marine life to breathtaking shipwrecks, making this beautiful tropical island paradise one of the best world class diving sites!
Trincomalee, located on the east coast, is known for its wide serene stretches of white sandy beaches which slope gently into the clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean. The sea in this area is calm and crystal clear, ideal for snorkelling and scuba diving. Pigeon Island, floating a few kilometres away from the coast, is a very small island, covered completely with pure-white coral, which offers breathtaking underwater scenes of more coral, tropical fish, and other forms of marine life.
