Discover scuba diving in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka
Discover Scuba Diving in Unawatuna or Trincomalee with Divers Land is a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world. To sign up for a Discover Scuba Diving experience, you must be at least 10 years old. No prior experience with scuba diving is necessary, but you need to be in reasonable physical health.
You learn the basic safety guidelines and skills needed to dive under the direct supervision of one of the Divers Land professional dive team.
- First, you will be shown the scuba equipment you use to dive and how to use it.
- Then you will have a short session in the shallow pool where you will find out what it’s like to breathe underwater.
- After that, you go off in the boat – first for a short dive right by the beach, and then for a proper dive where you can have fun swimming around and exploring.
