The amount of coral reefs in Sri Lanka has seen a steady decrease over the years. One reason is coral mining where people take the coral out to make lime that is used in construction. This practice was banned in 1983 but probably continued because of a lack of enforcement.
Awesome video, enjoying the format of your channel! Sea Turtles have it so tough. Watched your live and figured your an ex Durbanite too. Lookin. Forward to keeping up with the videos. 🤙
South is not expensive, South of Sri Lanka is a ripoff...I hate those beach boys hawkin the beaches. Government should look into this matter before too late and nobody would go there in the future.
Perfect vedio understandable .conservation of ocean flora funna is the responsibility of humanbeings .mirissa is special of observing whales also located near the world's one of the best surfing points our duty is to provid lodgings to both foreign and local visitres .one of good villas Silva 2 meegahawatha road mirissa . upstair a/c rooms under vegedation good luck
Hi again Dear Traveller Rachelle, I like & love & enjoy all your videos. But one question, one doubt which some people wanted to know or commented. Even I am quite impatient to know. But Please 🙏🙏 don't get angry
Great video, I am planning to visit in jan or feb - is that a good time to visit to watch the turtles and whale watching also any suggestions for some good Homestay’s will be helpful ❤ thx
Because it could or might totally ruin everything. U have so many other nice 👍 figures, like your face, nose, lips, etc. so why worry about the scars. I had quite few stitches/ scars around one of my eyes
No Pickme in Mirissa or Weligama itself unfortunately or at least there were no drivers there! Only outside of Mirissa towards Matara we had Pickme and Uber options again!
As I have watched all your videos something makes me really shocking & impressive. Your scars??? U must have had a terrible accident. But luckily & mainly just on one side. But don't worry at all because u still look so pretty & beautiful, so don't ever think of any plastic surgery or something like that
Dear Rachalle , At the very outset I like to appreciate you for your beautiful underwater video but it should have been longer durational . I loved your snorkeling 🤿 with 🐢 turtles but give more screen time so that your viewers can relish your mesmerizing beauty while you remain underwater . I have watched your video from beginning to end without interruption and liked it very much . Please keep uploading many more such interesting videos very frequently . Thank you very much My Dear Rachelle for your nice and alluring video . Please reply to my comments . With lots of lots of love 💕💕 and regards , Jayantàda , 10/1/2023

Hello, beautiful Souls, and amazingly beautiful Vegetarian, Rachel. Nice to see you snorkeling and surfing too down south! I look forward to go home soon and enjoy some Sun and the beautiful beaches too... Have fun, and enjoy our beautiful Motherland, Sri Lanka💝 Sending lots of love, light and Blessings to both of you 💝🍀🙏
@@talesofodyssey I wish i could, however so many pending matters I have to finish... how long are you going to be in Sri Lanka Rachel? Enjoy quality time, and the delicious Veggie meals. Love, Light, and Blessings 🙏💝💐
Oww! you renting a snorkel ,that's a good idea because almost 20 persons using snorkel per day in that 20 persons atleast one or two guy got some corona or mouth cancer or aids so plz try to see the doctor.
no offense to the locals but it is somewhat disappointing if they make overprices. Would like to visit turtles but everyday keeps on raining - happy new year - mirissa from germany
@@talesofodyssey Awesome!! Enjoy your stay in Sri Lanka. I just left a few days ago and my highlight was swimming with the turtles. You will find much bigger ones in Habaraduwa

That is unfortunate to hear :(
You did it again! Amazing pictures! Amazing beach! 👍💥
Haha thanks Jack! Not many beaches I could film here now though😂
Few Tuk tuk drivers use to loot. So do sum small businesses. They will charge extra.
Try to use Uber or Pick-me App.
There were no ubers or pickme available in Mirissa or Weligama, only when we went there from Matara could we find a pickme from Matara to Mirissa
Awesome video, enjoying the format of your channel! Sea Turtles have it so tough.

That’s sooo cool to have a fellow former Durbanite following the journey! 😁 Thanks for the kind words!

Mirissa is beautiful
I agree 😊

Wow.. very interesting video 🙂📸
Happy to hear that! Thanks for tuning in! 🤿
Amazing place, looking forward to seeing more. Keep it up 💯👍
Yeah the beaches of Mirissa are INSANE! Thanks for watching again! 😄
You should honestly try uber or pickme instead of normal tuks. Especially in the touristy areas.
No Pickme in Mirissa or Weligama itself unfortunately or at least there were no drivers there! Only outside of Mirissa towards Matara we had Pickme and Uber options again!
@@talesofodyssey ohh yeah that is the downside sometimes.
Take care, love the videos 😁
I love how you care about the nature ❤
Thank you, we need to look after our world 💚
Cool video ❤ Im going to mirissa tommorow

I understand you are curious, however I feel this should be something I share on my own time and terms.
Nice video, learnt a lot about sri lanka via your videos!
That’s great to hear 😁
@@talesofodyssey Hoping to see you in India and explore its diverse culture and traditions🙏
Do u speak Africaanns?? Whatever it is your English is so sweet, fluent & fast. This is great, so people can understand your videos perfectly.
My first language is English!
අන්ට් ඔයා සොයි
you did visit nudist beach in sri lanka
Haha nope

Thank you 😄

The corals there were already dead before the tsunami 2004. As I see now, they haven't recovered.
Use uber tuk next time.. its more economic.❤
I don't think uber was available in Mirissa, had this issue there and in Weligama
What's the name of the lunch place?
K40 in Mirissa 😊
can we get life jackets for rent in turtle bay beach?
Cool place, hope you guys enjoyed the beach 😎🏖️,& thumbs up for the wonderful video 👍
Definitely!! I think secret beach was my favourite beach 😄
Love your videos ... good luck
Awesome!! 😁
you look amazing..thank you for exploring these area..
Glad you liked the video!
👍👍👍👍
Good diversion
❤❤❤❤❤
❤🇱🇰
You so beautiful

This beaches are destroyed by tsunami wave.specially beautiful corral
Yeah I thought this would have played a part.. very unfortunate! Do you know if there are any coral restoration projects?
@@talesofodyssey yes there is I think military navy start to restoration program
If Tuk Tuk is expensive you just walk.
Thanks for the tip.
🥰
I LOVE turtles, loved this video😍
Turtles are pretty awesome indeed! 😄
