About Divers Land
We are a small, Sri Lankan-owned dive centre with locations in Unawatuna, Galle, and Nilaveli, Trincomalee, founded by Shoy (Rishan) in 2011.
Whether you’re looking to try Discover Scuba Diving for your first underwater adventure, pursue PADI certifications such as Open Water, Advanced Diver, Rescue Diver, or Dive Master, or enjoy fun dives in Unawatuna and Trincomalee as a certified diver, we’ve got you covered.
Both the Unawatuna Dive Centre and Trincomalee Dive Centre are located at the top of the beach, where you will find our offices and our equipment rooms, a comfortable and shaded seating area, and both indoor and outdoor freshwater showers.
Just a step away is our shallow training pool, where Discover Scuba and Open Water trainees learn and practise basic scuba skills. Then it’s a 20m stroll the the water’s edge, where our boats sit ready to take you to the ocean.
Our equipment is brand new and our air is fresh, so you never have to worry about the air you use for diving. Our team is young, and well trained – we believe in teamwork and ready to give you the ultimate professional service.
Your diving adventures are in good hands at the Divers Land Dive Centres.
See you soon!
