Off the coast of Moratuwa, about 30 minutes south of Colombo, are two dive sites. One, called Temple Rock, is a long rocky ridge extending towards Panadura to the south. The other is a sporadic occurrence of rubble to the west of Temple Rock. The former (TR) is a distinct rocky terrain with lots of fish life. The latter (KR), actually our favorite, is broken rocks and flat boulders on a sandy terrain. KR is a fun dive site because you discover oasis of life on the sandy terrain and it is always fun to discover unique islands of life such as a solitary Anemone harboring Anemonefish and Domino Damsels or beautiful Nudibranch on a rock or even millions of Cardinalfish as we discovered on this day. Temple Rockis shallower at 20M and if you swim deeper you discover terrain more synonymous with KR. |
