Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Treat the swim-throughs and cabin sections as overhead features, and stay within the limits of your wreck training and buoyancy control. Harbor-mouth boat traffic and small internal exits make supervision and surface awareness important.
Access Restrictions
Boat access from Galle or Unawatuna is the normal approach, and penetration should stay within guided, trained limits.
Legal Notes
Treat the wreck as a guided advanced dive near an active harbor mouth. Follow local dive-master instruction and your training limits.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided advanced wreck dive. The outside tour is straightforward, while the tighter cabin and swim-through sections are for trained, controlled divers.
