Siri

No reviews yetSri Lanka, South and Colombo

Dive on a deepish offshore stony reef with sparse corals and not fantastic visibility. The reef had many fantastic swimthroughs, canyons, and one longish and VERY dark tunnel. We saw various standard Indian Ocean reef fishes, as well as a Torpedo ray, a lobster, and a King Makerel. Beruwela, South Western
