Diving Centre
When to come?
- Diving Centre open 15.10. - 30.04.
- Rooms available all year
- Swimming all year without any danger
The "Unawatuna Diving Centre" team guarantees a perfect holiday - above and below the water level.
The Diving Centre is situated 4 km south of Galle on Unawatuna bay, which is
considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka and even the world.
The 2 km long fine sandy beach is lined by coconut palms. The Diving centre
is located directly at the sea.
You can enjoy a perfect dive from mid October to end of April. During the rest
of the year the sea is too rough quite frequently, and the visibility under
water isn't good enough. Swimming though can be enjoyed - also by your kids!
- throughout the year because a reef is keeping the high waves off the Unawatuna
bay.
The
Diving Centre was re-opened in 1999 and since then managed by a international
team of competent PADI-Instructors.
First class compressors (made by Bauer) speedily fill the 10 and 12 l diving
bottles.
30 complete Scubapro diving gears can be rented. Each jacket has its own security
buoy.
The spacious Diving Centre has a large locker room and a well sized training-room.
We have a large cleaning basin for your equipment, and afterwards your suit
can dry perfectly in the shade. Again you see that all is taken care of.
At the diving base you have the possibility to practice land and boat diving tours (all grades of difficulty). There are four diving boats available, which can bring you to the desired diving locations. Every boat contains a maximum of 8 divers.
If you are willing to, you can attend guided underwater excursions (diving instructor/diving guide) in a group of at the most 4 people or explore the diving areas by yourself.
Since the beginning of the centre security is of greatest importance to us. First we introduce you to all details of the base and provide a briefing.
In addition our base has a stationary oxygen supply and a Wenoll system installed on each of the boats. The boat guides, diving guides and instructors are all trained in first aid assistance. Regularly the crews practice rescue training - you can participate by request.
The diving base offers courses for beginners and advanced divers, e.g. "Discover Scuba Diving" (minimum age: 8), basic diving licence, PADI OWD - Divemaster. All other special licences/patents, like UW-orientation, night diving, diving security, diving rescue, wrack diving can be done under specialized guidance. You can also prepare yourself intensively for your PADI diving instructor examination. After your preparation we can help you to find the right IDC/IE course.A half-day nanny can take care of your children while you dive.
After the diving activities or the instructive courses all divers and non-divers sit together, enjoy a cup of Ceylon tea and exchange their impressions and experiences. For recreation there are comfortable lounging chairs. An open air restaurant next to the base offers snacks and refreshments. In the evening we can sit together and chat while watching the beautiful sunset.
The languages used on the base are German and English. Accomodation

Attention! Don't get fooled by touts and "helpful"locals!
Frequently tuk-tuk drivers and "helpful" locals bring unsuspecting
tourist to the wrong destination. They want to earn a commission from cheating
tourists.
Insist on being brought to "Unawatuna Diving Centre" on the main road
(Matara Road). On the outside of our building you can clearly read our name.
Don't believe the tale of "They are closed after Tsunamie" or "They
are fully booked"!
We are open, and everything works fine.
