Batticaloa

Sri Lanka · East Coast

A rarely dived stretch of Sri Lanka's southeast coast, Batticaloa combines pristine fringing reefs with one of the world's most remarkable wreck dives — the HMS Hermes, the largest diveable aircraft carrier wreck on the planet — and seasonal sperm whale encounters offshore.
