Find All About Our PADI Certifications Programs.
The PADI Open Water Diver Course is the world’s most recognized and respected scuba certification — the foundation of every diver’s journey. 🌊
Designed for beginners, this course takes you from your first breath underwater to becoming a confident, independent diver. Over 3 days, you’ll learn essential dive theory, practice basic skills in a Dedicated Diving Pool, and complete four open water dives in the crystal-clear waters of Unawatuna, Sri Lanka & Trincomalee Sri Lanka.
Under the guidance of our certified PADI Instructors, you’ll master key techniques such as buoyancy control, underwater communication, equipment setup, and dive planning. Once certified, you’ll be qualified to dive anywhere in the world up to 18 meters (60 ft) — your certification never expires!
This is the perfect starting point for anyone ready to explore the ocean, encounter marine life up close, and begin a lifetime of underwater adventures.
EXCELLENT Based on 337 reviews Posted on Google Chehan WickramarathnaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The experience was excellent from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and supportive, guiding us through every step of the scuba diving process with patience and professionalism. They made sure we felt comfortable and confident at all times, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to try scuba diving!Posted on Google Michelle VTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a wonderful diving experience with this company! Their space and location is excellent because whether you are doing a shore dive or a boat dive, you are RIGHT directly at the beach! They had a safe place for us to store our things, you can rent a dive computer for an extra $10 US so you can log your dive info, and my dive master had over 10,000 dives under his belt and was so calm and knowledgeable and guided us around the shipwreck and all the other cool spots we saw! I also really appreciated that he did a dive briefing with everyone before hand so we were all on the same page about had the same signals and actions we would take if anything went wrong. I would definitely dive with them again, and I can’t wait to go back to Sri Lanka in general, thanks you guys!!!Posted on Google varsha hrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We offer an exclusive option for you to test the waters before jumping into a full commitment. Come try a single dive to see how you like the experience and our team!
If you love it (and we think you will!): You can smoothly transition straight into the rest of the full certification course, and we will credit your trial dive toward it—meaning you pay absolutely no extra charges.
If it’s not for you: In the unlikely scenario that you decide diving isn’t your thing, there is no pressure. You will only be charged a small fraction of the cost ($60) for the initial trial dive, and you can walk away with no further obligations.
It’s the ultimate risk-free way to discover your inner diver!
