About Navy Museum

Trincomalee's Navy Museum is a reef-and-wreck dive built around two shipwrecks and underwater statues, giving the site a clear feature-by-feature swim. The dive is typically run by local operators from Trincomalee or Uppuveli and reached by boat rather than as a simple shore entry. Marine life commonly includes octopus and snapper, and the hard-coral base keeps the route visually busy even before the wrecks come into view.
