Noisy Rock is a rocky site off Weligama Bay with most of the area's swim-throughs and little caves, on a dive to 20 m. It is a dive for those who like poking into openings in the rock, where a mix of small reef fish shelters.
Also known as Bridge Rock.

The dive
The dive reaches 20 m and is built around rock cut by swim-throughs and little caves. The rocky caves house lionfish, pufferfish, glassfish and small barracudas, so the route moves from one opening to the next.
