Ypsylon Diving offers a solid dive experience in Hikkaduwa. We've often found Longfin Trevally cruising past, and there’s a good chance of spotting Jenkins' Whiprays or a Narrowtail Stingray settled on the sandy patches. It's a reliable spot for divers looking for a straightforward dive with some interesting macro, like cowries, mixed in.
