About Kamala Rock
Kamala Rock is a shallow boulder reef off Kamala Beach that works well as an easy boat dive and, on calm days, as a snorkel or freedive site. The layout is simple to read: scattered rocks and reef around the main cluster, with a deeper north-side section that adds a little shape to the route. The shallow profile and tide-sensitive rock tops make it best for relaxed training dives and short reef outings.

Local Intel For Kamala Rock
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Shallow boulder-and-reef route with a simple layout and a deeper north-side section; suited to relaxed training dives and short reef runs.
Freediving
Works as a relaxed freedive option in calm water because the profile is shallow and easy to read, but the tide and rock tops need attention.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is realistic in calm conditions because the site is shallow and the boulders sit close to the surface; avoid stronger swell or low-water roughness.
