When you arrive at the base, one of our local or international Divemasters or Instructors will greet you. You complete the required documentation and make your payment. We take both credit cards and cash.

If you don't already have your own snorkeling equipment, you'll get sized up for it.

Then you will receive a briefing on vital snorkeling site information, important local protocols, safety procedures, recall processes, snorkeling site attractions, and marine life.

Finally, we cast off! Most snorkeling sites can be reached within 10 minutes.

We always snorkel in small groups. Take in your surroundings at your own leisure.

Our local boatmen will show you the ideal areas to spend 2 to 3 hours exploring the amazing underwater environment.

When you return to the diving center, our staff will show you where you may wash both private and rental equipment and take a shower.

You are always welcome to share your snorkeling experience, and we will assist you in identifying all of the different types of marine creatures you encountered during your excursion.

Booking rules

Two seasons

We operate in Sri Lanka's south and north-east coasts, in Unawatuna, Nilaveli, and Trincomalee.Our diving centers are open according to the monsoon season, which affects the climate in Sri Lanka, to offer the finest diving conditions with calm seas and decent visibility. With us, you can dive all year.

Before booking your dive with us, we recommend researching the differences between diving on the west and east coasts. There are substantial variances in undersea terrain, dive site depth, coral reefs, wrecks, and other features.

Unawatuna

Our Unawatuna center is open every year from the 15th of October to the 10th of April, during which time you may experience the greatest diving conditions in Sri Lanka. The south west monsoon influences diving on the south coast beginning in mid-April. Because of these conditions, our Unawatuna center is closed. No need to worry, we're heading to the wild north-east shore!

Bathing and swimming are allowed all year because to the reefs that shelter Unawatuna Beach and Mihiripenna/Dalawella Beach from heavy waves.

Nilaveli and Trincomalee

Our Nilaveli and Divinguru Trincomalee is open every year from March 15th to October 30th. This is the greatest time to dive on the east coast, with calm seas and decent underwater visibility. The north east monsoon influences diving on the east coast beginning in mid-November. The water gets turbulent, heavy rain affects dive conditions, and our eastern diving centers are closed. We proceed south, where the south-west monsoon finishes about the middle of October and the diving season begins.
