Friendly, professional scuba diving, Unawatuna & Trincomalee, Sri Lanka.
Discover Scuba, PADI courses, fun dives, reefs and wrecks with friendly local divers.

We are a small PADI dive centre (S-25216) that prides itself on offering exceptional service with a personal touch. We believe in keeping things simple, and we’re only satisfied when we provide the very best. Our focus is on ensuring you feel safe while enjoying a unique way to explore scuba diving in Sri Lanka.

During the high season, from October to April, we are based in Unawatuna, just 5 km south of Galle. The best time to dive here, especially if you’re hoping to see whale sharks and manta rays, is between mid-February and mid-March.

When the monsoon hits Unawatuna from April to October, we migrate to our base in Nilaveli, Trincomalee on the east coast.

If you’re new to scuba diving, come and discover it with us in either Unawatuna or Trincomalee. For those looking to learn, we offer PADI courses, from Open Water to Divemaster. And if you’re already certified, join Divers Land for fantastic fun dives in both locations.

“I dived here in Feb 2022. Amazing staff, as they are all local, they are there for the long haul. Other centres employ European staff they are just temporary – local staff have the commitment to their clients, as they care that their clients are safe and enjoy themselves. Book with Divers Land, you will not regret it.”

“1) Dive Safe- feel very safe with the dive team. Everyone is so responsible preparing and helping before dive. Dive master all the time checking on the divers and make sure all of us are ok and feel comfortable during the dive. 2) Excellence service – Good preparation of all setting up of equipment, cleaning and fixing. 3) Great staff team- boss is helpful , staff are friendly and polite. 4) value for money. Reasonable rate for 5 star service experience . When you dive with such a passionate team.. it is so fun!”

“It was one of the best and most memorable diving experiences in my life. The staff here at Divers Land are extremely professional, helpful, friendly, pleasant, and rather knowledgeable bunch. I’ve got my Padi open water licens from these days a few years ago, and every time I come to sri Lanka, I never miss out on diving here.”

“Awesome dive centre! I did my open water qualification and 2 fun dives here and I highly recommend this centre to anyone looking to dive. Lesa made me feel so safe while learning and guys knew the reef like the back of their hand! We saw turtles, eels, octopus and loads offish! Thank you so much!”
