Why dive here
With 254+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, sea turtles, sperm whales and spinner dolphins - Coffin Ray Point offers some of Trincomalee & East Coast's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest April, May, October.
Coffin Ray Point, off Sri Lanka’s east coast, lives up to its name. We’ve spotted several electric rays here, often partially buried in the sand. It’s a generally calm dive, good for newer divers or those who enjoy slower exploration, particularly on the sandy patches near the reef edge where those rays like to hide. Keep an eye out for other bottom dwellers too, like flounder and maybe a passing cuttlefish.
