Vollständige Beschreibung

Colombo ist kein Riffziel, und diese Session ist ehrlich darueber, was sie ist: ein kurzer, betreuter Schnorchelgang im geschuetzten Wasser vor der aufgeschuetteten Port-City-Uferpromenade, gerichtet an Menschen, die Maske und Schnorchel zum ersten Mal ausprobieren oder eine Stunde an der Kueste verbringen moechten, ohne die Stadt zu verlassen.

Ein Guide passt Ihre Maske an, zeigt Ihnen, wie man sie leert und wie man durch den Schnorchel atmet, ohne die Haelfte des Indischen Ozeans zu schlucken, und bringt Sie dann in einer kleinen Gruppe ueber die Flachwasserzonen. Niemand wird gebeten, abzutauchen oder eine Strecke zu schwimmen. Wenn Sie noch nie zuvor Ihr Gesicht im Meer hatten, ist dies die sanfteste moegliche Einfuehrung, und der Guide bleibt die ganze Zeit mit Ihnen im Wasser.

Was Sie sehen, haengt ganz vom Tag ab. Das Wasser vor Colombo fuehrt Sedimente aus dem Hafen und den Fluessen, die Sicht schwankt also zwischen anstaendig und schlecht. An einem klaren Morgen sehen Sie kleine riff- und schuttbewohnende Fische ueber der Struktur, die auf den Wellenbrechern gewachsen ist. An einem truben Tag bekommen Sie ein Schwimmen und eine Lektion. Wer sich Korallengaerten erhofft, sollte stattdessen die Ostkueste buchen, und der Betreiber wird dasselbe sagen.

Der Vorteil dieser Session ist Bequemlichkeit und Jahreszeit. Sie ist Minuten von den Hotels im Zentrum Colombos entfernt, laeuft in kurzen festen Zeitfenstern, sodass sie in einen Stadttag passt, und benoetigt keine Zertifizierung, kein medizinisches Formular und keine Erfahrung.

Die Bedingungen sind in den trockeneren Monaten von etwa November bis April am besten. Waehrend des Suedwestmonsuns, etwa von Mai bis September, nimmt die Daenung an dieser Kueste zu, und Sessions werden haeufig aus Sicherheitsgruenden verschoben, statt in schlechtem Wasser durchgefuehrt zu werden.

Bringen Sie Badekleidung mit, rechnen Sie damit, innerhalb einer Stunde wieder an Land zu sein, und betrachten Sie es als Vorgeschmack statt als Hauptattraktion einer Sri-Lanka-Reise.

Häufige Fragen

Colombo Port City waterfront water sports base. The operator confirms the exact meeting point and time after booking.
The price does not cover hotel pickup and drop-off, towels, photographs, meals, tips and travel insurance.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Unless the option says private, this runs as a small group. The operator caps it rather than filling a coach, and if you want it to yourselves the private option is priced separately on this page.
Z R I Adventures (Private) Limited. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

December to March is the driest stretch. Colombo sits on the west coast, so it gets the southwest monsoon roughly May to September — the northeast monsoon (October to January) hits the *other* side of the island instead. Any guide describing one national "rainy season" is only describing half the country. Full breakdown in our best time to visit Colombo guide.
Tuk-tuks are everywhere — insist on the meter or agree the fare first. PickMe is the local ride-hailing app and usually cheaper than flagging one down, with no fare argument. The coastal railway south toward Galle runs along the sea and costs very little. See getting around Colombo.
Rice and curry is the everyday meal, not a dish — rice with several curries and sambols. Kottu roti is chopped roti cooked with a distinctive clanging rhythm on the griddle, hoppers are bowl-shaped fermented rice-flour pancakes, and lamprais is the Dutch Burgher dish baked in a banana leaf. See the Colombo food guide.
Pettah is the market district east of Fort, and its streets are organised by trade — one for electronics, one for textiles, one for hardware, one for spices. The candy-striped Red Mosque (Jami Ul-Alfar, 1908) is the landmark. Street-by-street in our Pettah market guide.
Galle is the easiest — about 2 hours on the southern expressway. Kandy is only 115 km but 3-4 hours each way on a mountain road. Sigiriya is realistically a 12-14 hour day and is better as an overnight. Honest distances in our day trips from Colombo guide.
Two days covers it comfortably. Colombo is not a museum city and most travellers pass through on the way somewhere else — our Colombo 2-day itinerary sets out a realistic pair of days.
