Diving Tour in Sri Lanka

Adventure dives in Mount Lavinia, Bentota, Hikkaduwa, Unawatuna, Weligama, Mirissa, and Kirinda, an outstanding dive tour! It's the pearl of the Indian Ocean, waiting to be explored. Where you dive in Sri Lanka depends on when you plan to visit because the monsoon seasons vary from one end of the island to the other. October to May is the high season for diving the west and south-west coast, and May to October is the best time to dive the north-east coast. With incredible diving, friendly locals, amazing food and top side treasures, Sri Lanka truly offers it all.

In fact, one would say the reef is entirely devoid of color. But what sets it apart is the abundance of fish life. Schools of rabbitfish, snappers, fusiliers and the ever-present shoal of the small Fosters Barracuda make this reef a delight for the diver. However, the best is left for the ones with keen eyesight.

Kirinda Beach and diving

Kirinda is an ideal place to experience scuba diving during the inter monsoon period. The archaeologically important diving spots, caves and the Long Basses reef with crystal clear water, vertical walls, shallow-water soft corals and also the long sandy beach gives any recreational diver a mesmerizing inspiration to enjoy an unforgettable experience in the pristine waters of Serendib.

Kirinda Dive Sites - Down South - Sri Lanka - Endless Under Water Treasures

The geographical and geological conditions of the area around the Great and Little Basses reef resulted in many unknown sailors going down with their ships and belongings in these blue waters. Hence, there are many identified archaeologically important old shipwreck sites around the Basses site and there also exist many unknown sites waiting to be discovered.

Wreck sites around the Basses

This is a shallow site very close to the reef opposite the Silver Coin wreck. Mr. Peter Throckmorton and Dr. Arthur C. Clarke found this wreck of the early British period. According to history, a ship had docked at Port of Galle in its eastward passage to collect a shipment of soda bottles from a company by the name of "Clarek and Company" which supplies pointed - bottom soda bottles.

The remnants of the mysterious bottle wreck lies on the land side of the Great Basses ridge. This wreck is very badly deteriorated because of the shallow water and residual surge conditions.

The wreck is almost integrated into a reef and the only well-defined objects are two large anchors. Only a very few bottles from its original cargo remain as most bottles have been taken away by treasure hunters. The two large anchors also face the danger of been removed by treasure hunters.

Caves around the Basses

The Basses reef is the best place to go cave diving in Sri Lanka. The magnificent natural features like ravines, pillars, pinnacles, caves and sand pockets surrounded by high wall corals and crevices created by the heavy currents and surge conditions though out the year entice divers to tirelessly discover its wonders and surprises.

Even during the annual season, this place tends to contain some current however if one wants to enjoy cave diving in Sri Lanka this would be the ideal location to have a lifetime experience.

Marine ecology

This is the place to see varieties of fish like groupers, moray eels, lobsters, tuna, angelfish, rays, napoleons, coneys, red hind, snappers, parrotfish and millions of other denizens of the ocean and while moving through these waters you can see festoons of black corals and deep water sea fans. Watch out for sea turtles at the Basses. Hawkbill turtles and green turtles are frequently observed here resting in the protection of a ledge.

Fauna and flora

This is a good place to see marine life like groupers, gray sharks, tuna, angelfishes, rays, giant Maori Wrasses (napoleons), snappers and millions of other denizens of the ocean. Undoubtedly the Basses are the foremost place to dive to witness the vast marine biodiversity in Sri Lanka.
