Trincomalee, Sri Lanka
Have you gone diving recently and need a refresher? The greatest option is a refresher dive! Before you go back into the water, practice your diving abilities. Book one or two dives to refresh your diving expertise. We focus on your diving abilities and needs during Refresher dives.
Do you believe your diving abilities and knowledge have deteriorated? Enhance your diving and refresh fundamental scuba abilities.
Our Refresher Dives reacquaint you with diving so that you feel completely at ease under water in less than a day. An Instructor or Divemaster will bring you up to speed and guarantee that you are fit to dive again. If a diver hasn't dived in at least 6 months, we recommend doing Refresher dives before joining a Fun Diving group.
You go through safe diving procedures, problem solving, equipment preparation, dive and boat planning, signals, local marine life, scuba skills, and anything else that makes you uncomfortable.
When you arrive at the base, one of our local or international Divemasters or Instructors will greet you. You complete the relevant documentation, provide a medical declaration, and make your payment. We take both credit cards and cash.
If you aren't already carrying your own equipment, you will be sized for it. You go through the equipment preparation process step by step with your Divemaster. After all of the equipment has been put up, verified, and explained, you will receive a thorough briefing during which you may brush up on your diving expertise.
This includes critical information on the dive sites, important local and specific diving protocols, safety procedures, recall processes, dive site attractions, marine life, dive profile, signs and signals, and so on. You may also decide the skill you want to work on throughout the dive.
Finally, we set sail! Once the equipment has been placed onto the boats with the assistance of our personnel, we go for our dive spots, the most of which are within 10 minutes of each other.
When you get at the dive location, you will do a buddy check with your Divemaster and then you will be ready to go for the dive. At first, you practice your abilities in shallow water. The Divemaster will ensure that you are comfortable throughout the dive.
A dive can last up to 45 minutes, depending on the No-Decompression Limits.
The drive to the next dive site normally covers the surface interval (depending on the Dive Computer's planning and the dive profile). Meanwhile, the equipment is being prepped for the next dive. Unless absolutely essential, we will NOT return to the diving center between dives.
We urge you to discuss your underwater experience with tea and cookies when you return to the diving school. Our guides provide comments and advice for your next diving trip, assist you in completing logbook entries, and identify various species seen during your dives.
Diving helps to develop bonds between people from all over the world who have a love of the ocean, and we give a platform for that to happen.

Our dive is divided into two excursions (morning and afternoon) with one or two dives each. You can begin with us in the morning at 8:15 a.m. or in the afternoon at 13:15 p.m. Please inform us AT LEAST ONE DAY IN ADVANCE so that we can organize the groups and, most importantly, so that you may still acquire a spot on one of our diving boats.
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.
