Seenigama is a coastal village just about 2Kms northward to Hikkaduwa. The corals and lime stones near this area has been destroyed by the locals illegally for many years to manufacture lime. After the tsunami( 2004 ) that hit this area killing lot of locals, people began to regret about their activities and stopped the entire lime industry.
Now they are more concern about protecting it and promoting it for tourism. This diving center is located near seenigama shrine ( and there are several other places for snorkeling/diving as well ). https://www.facebook.com/divelanka
Snorkeling site here in seenigama is bit deeper than a usual snorkeling site. It's approximately 4-6 meters deep.
Water wasn't very clear today. So i'm thinking of doing the same here again in a better day.
