    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Pigeon Rock is a straightforward rocky dive, often quite pleasant when the currents are mild. You'll navigate between and around large boulders, exploring small swim-throughs and crevices. It's a solid choice for a second dive or for divers getting comfortable with Trincomalee's conditions, often revealing reef sharks resting in the sand patches.
