Earl Of Shatesbury

Earl of Shatesbury is a local Sri Lankan dive site near the southern coast, positioned within easy reach of the towns around Kalutara and Galle. The site is typically accessed from nearby coastal towns and offers a straightforward bottom profile with generally calm conditions offshore. Expect a sandy or reef-dominated seabed at shallow depths and opportunities to observe common tropical reef species typical of the region. The site is suitable for recreational dives, including beginners under calm conditions, and is often used for short shore or drift dives depending on currents. Nearby coastal towns, such as Madampagama, Urawatte and Akurala, provide convenient access options and local dive centers may offer guided trips and equipment rental.
