EXCELLENT Based on 259 reviews Posted on Rishi LokuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow! Submarine Dive Center was absolutely fantastic. I had an amazing three-day experience during my holiday in Sri Lanka. I chose this company to get my Open Water Diving license, and I’m truly grateful I picked the right place for the course. My instructor, dilsara, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. His instructions were clear, he communicated fluently in English, and it was very easy to learn from him. You can see how passionate he is about his work and his team. Throughout the three days and four dives, I received excellent guidance, which made the whole experience unforgettable. Hats off to everyone involved—every member of the team was friendly, respectful, and welcoming. I will definitely come back for more diving when I return to Sri Lanka! 🤿🤿Posted on Anasrtasiya MironovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 07.12.2025 мне выпала возможность погрузиться с отличной командой. Это было одно из самых приятных,спокойных и бережных погружений. Благодарю инструктора Романа из Росиии за это погружение. Очень внимательный,серьезный и грамотный инструктор. Отличная подводная сьемка за невысокую плату. 2 недели назад была на погружении в Мирисе, это было самое ужасное погружение за всю жизнь,не едьте в Мирису, приезжайте в Унаватуну, там проводят и обучение на сертификат и просто погружения в разнообразных местах. Кстати от этого же дайвер клуба мы ездили на морскую рыбалку! Это было супер 👍Posted on роман мухинTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Отличный дайвинг центр. Проходил обучение с нуля. И получил не только начальные азы , но и первые неповторимые впечатления от погружений. Инструкторы или правильно сказать дайв гиды все квалифицированные , всё удобно, организация обучения на высоте , после погружений предлагают чай , кофе , печеньки . Внимательные и заботливые ребята создают неповторимую обстановку в самом дайв центре . Поэтому скажу, что здесь просто классно получить первый опыт , и по возможности продолжить в дальнейшем. Очень хочу отметить дайв гида Романа , без которого наверное моих погружений и не было бы . Поскольку я с английским не дружок . Только благодаря ему я прошёл обучение и в итоге опустился на глубину 18 м и увидел обитателей рифа Габарита Гала. Теперь планирую продолжить обучение, чтобы получить сертификат. Также видел уже закалённых дайверов , которые не раз пользуются услугами этого центра, а также любители порыбачить тоже возвращаются с трофеями Всем рекомендую.Posted on Martin K.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
