Why dive here
With 91+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, giant moray eels, humpback whales, orcas and sea turtles - Barrakuda Point offers some of Hikkaduwa & South Coast's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
Barrakuda Point, off Hikkaduwa, is a straightforward dive. You’ll find schools of barracuda, as the name suggests, often circling in the mid-water column. We’ve also spotted moray eels tucked into crevices along the reef. It's a decent spot for newer divers looking for some pelagic action without strong currents.
