Arham Awn2025-07-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. THE EXPERIENCE CANNOT BE DESCRIBED BY WORDS IT'S JUST BREATHTAKING ( pun intended ) SHIVA or DARSHAN ( Our Dive master ) HANDLED EVERYONE WITH CONFIDENCE AND CHARISMA. HALFWAY DEEP OCEAN, I GOT ANXIOUS WITH WATER INSIDE GOGGLES, HE GAVE ME HOPE JUST BY EYES AND GESTURES THAT THERE IS NO WATER IT'S JUST YOU'RE NOT CONFIDENT. THE NEXT MINUTE I WAS WAY DEEPER DOWN THE OCEAN WITH 0 PROBLEM AND FULL OF CONFIDENCE. IT WAS LIKE AN ABSOLUTE FANTASY. ⚡🤿 Dilru Dodawatta2025-05-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did both a diving session and a snorkeling session with Pearl Divers Unawatuna. The diving experience was absolutely amazing—special thanks to my dive master Raj, who was incredibly supportive throughout the session. However, the snorkeling session fell a bit short. I had informed the guide beforehand that my friend couldn't swim, but unfortunately, he forgot to bring a life jacket for her. By the time he realized, we had already gone a long way, so he had to make do with just a life ring. I found this quite unprofessional. Additionally, there was a long waiting time before the session started. These are the only reasons I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise, it’s a great place with friendly staff, and their international dive masters are truly top-notch professionals.

A very comfortable, professional, educational and fun experience! Highly recommend:) fahad fahmy2025-04-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The experience was really good. And the divers are very friendly. My diving master was miss.ashini . She supported well to complete the diving sessions very nicely.. worth for the money. Need to try again in the same place.
