About this Dive Site
Description
Fish Rock, a dramatic pinnacle in Weligama Bay, rises from the depths, its summit adorned with soft corals that attract dense schools of fusiliers and jackfish. Divers may also be thrilled by the presence of reef sharks patrolling these nutrient-rich waters. Due to potential currents, this site offers an exciting challenge for more experienced divers seeking an encounter with abundant pelagic action.
