About Sri Lankan west & south coasts
On the west coast dive sites are open from November to around 10th of April. In general there is good diving conditions in this period. The visibility is around 5 - 10 meters and water temperature is around 28-29°C. Generally speaking, in the west coast, most of the corals were destroyed during El Niño in 1998 through coral bleaching and the Tsunami in 2004. So you find less corals while diving on the south coast compared to the east coast. But deeper dive sites and most of shipwreks are located in the west and south cost of Sri Lanka. You have chance to see moray eels, nudibranchs, lionfish, angelfish and many tropical fish. If lucky you can spot Napoleon fish, turtle, stingray, scorpionfish or an octopus.
