So fascinated about marine life and amazing underwater views. I'm planning to explore many different waters starting from the coral reef at Hikkaduwa, Sri lanka. Thought of leaving my footsteps behind on this blog, hoping that it will be useful for someone else with similar interests. I hope i will be able to share more good stuff with you.

Day 01 − Snorkeling in Hikkaduwa Reef
Hikkaduwa is a coastal & a tourism oriented town located in south-west of Sri lanka. Famous for its beautiful coral reef. My diving buddy for day1 is chula. He is one of my colleagues in my work place.
I've been snorkeling since i'm a kid, but the coral environment i saw many years back in hikkaduwa is not the same that we see now. Most of the corals are not alive because of an unusual behavior of the El'nino warm water currents happened about 10 years back. But it seems like to me that the coral is regaining its liveliness... but very slowly.

This one is one of the green turtles in Hikkaduwa who is being very friendly with the people who visits her.
