Why dive here
With 91+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, giant moray eels, humpback whales, orcas and sea turtles - Goda Gala Diyamba offers some of Hikkaduwa & South Coast's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
Goda Gala Diyamba, a quick boat ride from Unawatuna, is an interesting rock and coral formation worth exploring. We’ve found the bigger fish often hang out here, think trevally and the occasional Napoleon wrasse cruising by. But the real joy, for us at least, comes from slowing down and scanning the coral for nudibranchs – there’s a surprisingly good variety if you take the time. It’s a solid dive for those who appreciate both the bigger pelagics and the smaller critters, without overly challenging conditions.
