Why dive here
With 91+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, giant moray eels, humpback whales, orcas and sea turtles - sea horse offers some of Hikkaduwa & South Coast's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
The sea horse site in Hikkaduwa is one of those places that delivers exactly what its name promises, sometimes. We’ve had dives here where we've spotted several, shyly peeking from the seagrass, their tails wrapped tight. Other days, you’re just enjoying the gently sloping sandy bottom and the occasional rock cod. It’s a pretty relaxed dive, often with minimal current, making it a good choice for newer divers or anyone wanting a chilled-out afternoon with a chance of finding something special amongst the Pacific Gregory and Striped Triplefins.
