Why dive here
With 91+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, giant moray eels, humpback whales, orcas and sea turtles - Crow Island offers some of Hikkaduwa & South Coast's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
Crow Island is a solid spot for a casual dive, especially if you're looking for something relaxed around Hikkaduwa. It’s pretty shallow, topping out at 10 metres, so it’s a good choice for newer divers or those who just want to spend some quality time exploring without rushing the deco. We’ve drifted along here often, spotting plenty of parrotfish munching on the coral, a scattering of moray eels tucked into crevices, and occasionally a turtle cruising past. It's not a site that will blow your mind with massive pelagics, but it's reliably pleasant for an easy afternoon underwater.
