Diving
Certified
For all of you who already hold a license, this is your section. All courses below are for age 10 and above.
We try to find more dive sites in our area, so there is always a chance for an explorative adventure. However, our existing dive sites are pretty epic as well! Ranging from shallow coral reefs with an abundance of marine life, to our artificial reef covered in subsurface growth and a ship wreck where pelagic fish stare back at you. The weather can be unpredictable, but we always try to make the experience the best possible and pick a spot with the calmest conditions.
Diving season
All courses are available mid October to mid May, weather permitting. Visibility can range from 5–25 meters and the water keeps a very comfortable 27–30°C.
No hidden fees
The prices include everything you need to do a fun dive or to learn to dive and receive your certification – equipment, administration, boat transport, e-learning, etc.
PAYMENT
All prices are in US dollars. Payments are to be made in cash. We accept US dollars ($) or rupees (exchange rate to US dollars on payment day).

DAY TRIP
Experience the wild side of Indian Ocean diving. Great Basses Reef is an offshore lighthouse in the south of Sri Lanka, located 13 km off the coast of Yala National Park. Here, you’ll meet larger pelagic creatures and big schools of fish. More life, more colour, more viz!
Diving the Great Basses is an adventure for the experienced diver (at least AOWD and comfortable with surge and strong currents).
This excursion is only possible March–April.
“Thanks for your best teaching tactics for both theory and practice. Enjoyed the dives in the south for the first time. Hope to see you all soon”
