SWIMMING with TURTLES at BEACHES MIRISSA, SRI LANKA 🇱🇰

[@jackvandersluis1723]

You did it again! Amazing pictures! Amazing beach! 👍💥

[@talesofodyssey]

Haha thanks Jack! Not many beaches I could film here now though😂

[@rohanperera8009]

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.

[@talesofodyssey]

That is unfortunate to hear :(

[@mikehunt3746]

Amazing place, looking forward to seeing more. Keep it up 💯👍

[@talesofodyssey]

Yeah the beaches of Mirissa are INSANE! Thanks for watching again! 😄

[@shenalsc]

You should honestly try uber or pickme instead of normal tuks. Especially in the touristy areas.

[@talesofodyssey]

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!

[@shenalsc]

The corals there were already dead before the tsunami 2004. As I see now, they haven't recovered.

[@smartworld6137]

Few Tuk tuk drivers use to loot. So do sum small businesses. They will charge extra. Try to use Uber or Pick-me App.

[@talesofodyssey]

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

Use uber tuk next time.. its more economic.❤

[@talesofodyssey]

I don't think uber was available in Mirissa, had this issue there and in Weligama

[@maxalgama4173]

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

[@nandanimadom6757]

This beaches are destroyed by tsunami wave.specially beautiful corral

[@talesofodyssey]

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

[@maxalgama4173]

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
