Ill be going back! - I had a fantastic experience with the guys last week doing my PADI course. The man in charge, Shan, was very helpful with all of my questions and made the process of booking and sorting the course so easy! While doing the course my instructors were Minosh and Jess. Minosh made all the instructions and skills we have to follow very clear and straightforward to understand, making sure we knew what we were doing as safely as possible. While diving Jess helped me to overcome my nerves on a couple of occasions by calming me down under the water and not leaving until I was ready to continue, which I found very reassuring! Brilliant experience and felt I was in a safe pair of hands the whole way through.

Top Diving Center in Unawatuna - Top diving center in Unawatuna! 🤿🐟🐠🪼 I completed the Padi OWC here and can highly recommend the center. Communication for booking is super uncomplicated and quick via Whatsapp. The team is very friendly and personable. You always feel safe and are well instructed. The various diving locations, which are reached by boat, give you so many varied impressions. Thank you for the great experiences - I'll be happy to come back. Best wishes Simona 👌🏼

Great Experience! Fantastic Team! - The team is great. Originally, I just signed up for the discovery class to see if I would like diving. The team was so knowledgeable and I felt completely safe in their hands so I decided to just go ahead and get my diving certificate. 4 dives and an online test later....I passed! Your safety is their main concern. My teacher, Minosh was amazing. I can't say enough great things about Sun Diving Sri Lanka.

Surprise of the sea! - Our diving experience with Sun Diving SriLanka was fantastic. We scheduled two sessions with them, including an introductory one for my partner. The instructors displayed remarkable patience, taking the time to alleviate any lingering fears she had. As we prepared on the boat for the dive, we were treated to an incredible sight: a whale shark passing by very closely. The dive itself was superb. The instructors remained vigilant, ensuring our safety, while also pointing out various sea life and other interesting sights. Unfortunately, during the dive, my partner lost her earring in the sea. However, the crew later located it, allowing us to retrieve it. We're truly grateful for such a wonderful experience. Many Thanks to Sun Diving SriLanka for providing such exceptional service.

PADI OWD and AOWD - I took a padi open water course and my partner took the padi advanced open water course. We felt super safe and the instructors were always so attentive to our physical and mental state. They have a big pool and I could exercise all skills for the open water certification in a really comfortable environment. Many thanks to Minosh for bring such an amazing instructor!

Perfect dive center I'll definitely return to - There are dive centers all over Sri Lanka and I'm so glad I chose this one. Everybody is very friendly, passionate and fun. But also maintain professionalism. I did the PADI open water diver course and felt like I received the best instruction from Roshan. I felt very confident with him as my instructor and it was good to see his passion for the ocean. The diving itself was amazing at the different sites and we were able to see the giant Napoleon fish.

PADI open water certification - Very lovely team and patient instructors, welcoming cups of tea after every dive, would highly recommend learning to dive with this school, they take you to some awesome dive sites with an impressive amount of wildlife!

Team 10/10 but weather not optimal - Unforgettable experience despite a seascape not crazy! The instructors were great and very professional. The dive lasted a long time and everything went very well. The only small downside does not depend on the agency but on the seabed which is not transcendent in terms of fish/corals/plants... but I recommend anyway!
