With 254+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, sea turtles, sperm whales and spinner dolphins - Swami Rock offers some of Trincomalee & East Coast's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest April, May, October.
Swami Rock offers an easy dive, often with very calm conditions. It’s a good spot for newer divers looking to get comfortable, or for photographers wanting a relaxed pace. We’ve seen plenty of reef fish here, along with moray eels tucked into crevices. The rock formations themselves are quite interesting to explore.
