Why dive here
With 91+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, giant moray eels, humpback whales, orcas and sea turtles - Jungle Beach offers some of Hikkaduwa & South Coast's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
Jungle Beach is a gentle introduction to the Hikkaduwa area, shallow and calm. At only 6 metres deep, it’s a perfect spot for newer divers getting comfortable or for those who just want an easy, relaxing drift. We usually see plenty of smaller reef fish here, parrotfish grazing, and often a few moray eels tucked into the crevices. It’s also a good site for spotting turtles, which often frequent the sheltered bay.
