Keep diving all around the year with us at Negombo Diving Centre
During the October to March, Southern and Western coasts provides fine opportunities for divers during these months. Our diving centre is located at the wonderful beach at the port beach restaurant (Location is provided).
The long stretch of Negombo beach is considered one of the most attractive beaches of Sri Lanka. 35Km or an hour away from Colombo (the capital city of Sri Lanka), Negombo holds the majority of the fun dives at it’s best.
Boat rides to the dive sites can be longer than on the East Coast. There is however a large range of sites and diving packages are popular here.
Diyamba Gala – Rocks at the bottom can be explored with small caves with lots of aquatic wildlife and eels in particular!
Depth – 22 to 26 M
Mutian Gala – Two reefs situated on the sandy bottom with a very rich marine life. Lots of lion fish, moray eels, blue strip snappers, fussliers and many more!
Max Depth – 12 to 14m
Goda Maha Gala – About 6 to 7 kms away, this is a lovely site with lots of different fish, coral and other marine life like snappers, lobsters, black corals and moray eels.
