Snorkelling in the Indian Ocean?
I understand that Sri Lanka is not exactly a diving mecca, but nevertheless, a trip is planned to the Bentota area, will it be tiring to get at least to places of more or less interesting snorkeling from there, or is it better to look closer to Hikkaduwa ??

It will be tiring. Moreover, Hikkaduwa does not have many places for snorkeling.
And if you find it, then only in the winter (during the high season).

Dad, once again, senks.... Trincomalee is so out of the way... that my tour operator doesn't even offer anything there :(
I’m watching Dickwella (there is one hotel on the cape, and for some reason the names are spelled differently ... like a club, private, but the reviews are good), it seems to be there and it’s very good and the ocean is calm and there is a snork ... and in terms of distances to many excursions are even closer... Am I right? Or is there something I don't know about this place? If right, looks better than Bentota...

Trincomalee.
Economy transfer.
№7083 departure at 21-00 arrival at 05-10
No. 7081 06-05 in Trinco 13-55
Back
№7084 19-30...04-05
№7082 10-00...19-00
The price of the issue is $ 7 per person in the first class. You can of course with exotic: the second is $ 3.7, the third is $ 2.05
The same story goes to Matara (to the south)
prices up to $ 4.2, the schedule is on the Sri Lankan railway website. About 8 trains per day.
The data is less than a year old. I was looking for alternatives to transfers that take from $ 100 one way. Trinco will come out at least $ 200-300. Plus references to danger and checkpoints ... in general, they will again want to "cut down" $$$.

papa74, cool!
It can really drive and take a night train with a girl to the ribs ... the main thing is that somewhere in the middle of the road these ... "tigers" did not take us off :)

Everything is ok on board!
Tigers are caught at stations.
At the end, the station is a checkpoint with a quick pass for persons of "non-Tamil" and "brindle" nationality.
The police have respect and honor for foreigners. Although there is a human factor everywhere ...

papa74, smiled;) with my "face" smiling and luck, they will definitely remove me at the very first paramilitary checkpoint, which then through the embassies-consulates will have to be pulled out of the casemates somewhere in Pakistan :)))

Marlin ("blue fish") are caught not only in the Dikwella area - they are caught in the summer / autumn (according to our calendar, of course) in the Negombo region (north of Colombo) and in the Galle region.
With a mask - checked! - swim those who stop'itsya in the already mentioned papa74 hotel Amaya Reef in Hikkaduwa (the reef is just opposite the hotel). But the Coral Garden recommended by him is being rebuilt. So it will not appear in accommodation options soon and under a different name.
The Weligama Bay Hotel in Weligama Bay is another very affordable snorkeling spot. The accommodation in this hotel is spartan, but the hotel itself is well-organized, and its cuisine is generally a godsend for gourmets. The chef is a creative person, and could decorate the menu of the most prestigious institution with his dishes.
