Day 18 - Diving in The Gokana Reef and Kalu Point in Trincomalee


This was a two dive trip in Trincomalee, We took the boat from uppuweli and headed south to gokana reef and Kalu point.

Gokana Reef

Gokana reef is a ~20m deep scattered rocky bottom diving site, 15-20mins boat from uppuweli. At one point the edge of the rock is very steep and couldn't even see the bottom. We were able identify a Bluespotted stingray here.









Kalu Point

"Kalu" point is a very shallow diving site, less 8 meters deep at the deepest point. So this is a very popular snorkeling site than a diving site. And also this is accessible from land too. This is located few kilometers south to uppuweli.
We spotted a cuttlefish here.. and this is the first cuttlefish i found so far in my short diving life. :) We spent few minutes observing this beautiful creature; until it swam away finding its too annoying to hang with these two strange creatures who were making bubbles and hovering around.
