Is the Taprobane East wreck dive accessible this week
2 Answers from travellers
The Colombo diving season is currently in its final transition window. You can dive the Taprobane East wreck this week, but you need to be an Advanced Open Water diver. Visibility is around 10 to 12 meters, and the current is mild to moderate. Dive centers wrap up west coast operations entirely by early May.
If you miss the Colombo window, keep in mind that the dive centers are moving their boats to Trincomalee on the east coast very soon, where the visibility is incredible from May onwards.
Scam Watch: colombo
Driver claims the meter is broken and quotes an inflated flat rate. Common on arrival at airport or railway stations when tourists are tired and disoriented.
Drivers wearing official-looking uniforms claim to be "government-approved" and charge 3-5x normal rates. They may have fake badges or ID cards.
Women with babies approach asking you to buy milk powder at a nearby shop (not cash). The shop is run by accomplices and charges 5-10x normal price.
