Explore Kalpitiya’s Dive Sites with Ocean Lanka Dive Center

If you’ve ever dreamed of exploring the ocean the Sri Lankan way, this is the place to be. Here in Kalpitiya, we don’t do shore dives — we take you out on the boat, right into the heart of the sea. It’s an adventure you’ll never forget.

We usually dive in three main areas, each with its own magic:

  • South Dive Sites – About a 30–40 minute boat ride from the shore. This is where the big ones live — rays, napoleon wrasses, and sea turtles gliding over long coral reefs. It’s wild, deep, and full of life.

  • Front Area Dive Sites – Just 15–25 minutes away, this spot is all about color and detail. If you love soft corals, tiny creatures, and bright underwater scenery, this one’s for you.

  • North Dive Sites – Around 30–40 minutes from our base, with depths of 15–20 meters. It’s calm, easy, and perfect for beginners. You’ll spot butterflyfish, small reef fish, and crystal-clear water that makes every dive peaceful.

Discover the underwater beauty of Kalpitiya with Ocean Lanka Dive Center. From calm shallow reefs perfect for beginners to thrilling deep dives for experienced divers, we offer an unforgettable ocean adventure for everyone.
