    Fun Diving — 2 Dives

    Two dives across two different sites. Morning light filters through the surface as you explore a coral bommie full of life, then follow your guide along a wall where triggerfish and parrotfish are going about their day. This is what diving in Trincomalee looks like.

Trincomalee's Best Dive Sites

Every site has its own personality. Here are three that keep divers coming back year after year.

All dive sites →
8–22 mBeginner

Swami Rock

Swami Rock sits directly below Koneswaram temple, one of the oldest Hindu temples in Sri Lanka. Hindu deity statues rest on the rock at depth, half-covered in coral. You hover in front of a carved figure while a school of snapper drifts past. It is one of the most unusual dives in the country.

7–21 mBeginner

Pigeon Island

Pigeon Island is a national park. The reef is protected, and you see the difference immediately. The coral is thick, the fish are bold, and the blacktip reef sharks that move along the outer wall are not bothered by divers. One of the best beginner reef dives in Sri Lanka.

12–18 mIntermediate

Navy Museum

The Navy Museum is an artificial reef built from decades of accumulated maritime history. Old anchors, cannons, chains, and propellers have settled on the sandy bottom and grown thick with coral. It is an unusual and atmospheric dive with strong macro photography.

What Divers Say

★★★★★

We went on a boat tour to see dolphins and it was such an amazing experience! The whole trip was really well organised, and seeing the dolphins up close in their natural environment was unforgettable. The crew was super friendly and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe.
