Lankan Caves

★★★★☆ (282)

Cool drift dive that also always brings current with it. Start either near the Manta Point or, with less current, directly at the channel entrance. The caves are rather overhangs that range from 12 to 30m. For the more experienced there is a deep nose in the middle of the current.

A place where you can see with a little luck almost everything. mantas, mobulas, napoleons, grey reef sharks, white tip and black tip reef sharks, and with a lot of luck a hammerhead shark.
