Plongée à Sri Lanka — Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka offers diving on two coasts (east in summer, west in winter) plus the world's best blue whale watching from Mirissa. Trincomalee's Pigeon Island has healthy reefs, while the south coast features colonial-era wrecks and the SS Conch. Blue whale encounters from December to April are the real draw.
