LEDRA
Why dive here
With 254+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, sea turtles, sperm whales and spinner dolphins - LEDRA offers some of Trincomalee & East Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest April, May, October.
The MV Ledra is a surprisingly accessible wreck, sitting upright in just 6 metres of water, making it a great option for newer wreck divers or those looking for a long, relaxed bottom time. This 135-metre cargo vessel, sunk in 1967, is well-broken but still offers plenty of structure to explore. We’ve found barracuda often hang out around the deeper parts of the hull, and schools of snapper have made themselves at home inside the cargo holds. It’s a good spot for macro too, so keep an eye out for nudibranchs on the encrusting corals.
