East Coast Dive Package (6d / 5n)
The East Coast of Sri Lanka is rated as one of Asia's top dive sites and offers outstanding experiences for all skill levels. As the island essentially sits atop a huge sandbank that drops 3000m into deep ocean you'll usually find shallow sand or rock bottoms, but you can also dive on walls and drop-offs. Because you're seldom far from deep water, opportunities for encounters with pelagics, sharks and other inhabitants of the open ocean abound.
Our PADI certified diving base is located in Nilaveli, just outside Trincomalee, known the world over for its beautiful soft, white sandy beaches which slope gently into the warm Indian Ocean.
The dive centre offers an extensive range of land and boat diving tours (all difficulty grades) which are supervised by an experienced team of international PADI Instructors. On offer is the whole range of PADI certification courses as well as individual equipment rental - catering for all your needs and budgets.
