Accepted Answer

It is incredibly highly discouraged to dive on the south coast during the peak southwest monsoon in July. The ocean experiences massive dangerous swells brutal undercurrents and the heavy rain washes mud into the sea plunging underwater visibility down to near zero.

Almost all highly reputable dive centers in Unawatuna and Mirissa completely close their operations and physically move their equipment to the east coast during these months for safety reasons. You must travel to Trincomalee if you want to dive safely in July.
