SRI LANKA ~Tropical Marine World -Hikkaduwa~

...Beautiful postcard of one my favourite subjects, marine life...a wonderful  underwater paradise of amazing corals and exotic colorful fishes.... Thanks a lot Ravindra for showing me this time a "natural wonder" of your island!

Photo: Anver Deen Hikkaduwa is a small town on the south coast of Sri Lanka located in the Southern Province.

Hikkaduwa is the most beautiful coral reef and the only marine life sanctuary in Sri Lanka, well known for the coral formations which constitute a miniature Barrier Reef. It is known as a paradise for skin-divers as the sea is very calm and due to this the underwater visibility extends for about more than 100 feet. You can hire a glass bottomed boat or goggles an flippers and explore the fantasies under your feet.

Hikkaduwa National Park is one of the three marine national parks in Sri Lanka.
