Are there sharks in Sri Lanka waters?

More than 60 species of sharks live in the waters off Sri Lanka. Although it is extremely rare to see them from the shore, the magnificent ocean, teeming with marine life like sharks, is a beautiful destination for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. However, since shark sightings are rare, divers and snorkelers are generally safe in the ocean, and often the government has designated a suitable area for you to travel. The guides will inform you about this. The coastal towns of Mirissa and Hikkaduwa offer an excellent support for diving in these beautiful destinations. So, you will have the opportunity to experience shark, whale, and underwater coral reef exploration tours in places like Mirissa.
