Guidelines

Respect Security Protocols: KKS is located in a former high-security zone near the Jaffna Peninsula. Some areas may still have military presence—always follow local or military instructions and avoid restricted zones. Swim Safely: Although the waters are calm in some parts, not all areas are safe for swimming due to strong currents or uneven seabeds. Swim only in designated safe zones or follow local advice.
