Professional and safe dive

5.00We were warmly received by Maya. She explained the material and hand gestures used underwater. When everything fitted we went to practice in the pool before we went into the ocean. At first I had a bit of trouble clearing my ears when descending. Maya was very patient and little by little the descent succeeded. At the bottom we had good visibility and we saw a lot of colorful fish and beautiful coral. It was my first time and I thought it was definitely worth it. We were underwater for a total of 53 minutes. Very professional approach and safe organization.
Everyone should try it.

5.00We took our three children for their first dive while we did a refresher. I got in touch with them in advance to ask if they could arrange it so we could all dive together despite our different levels. They could not have been more helpful. On arrival we were met with a very organised professional setup. They took the children off to do the pool to do some basics while we did our refresher skills then we all got on the boat and headed to a spot where we could all dive together. Our guide Ella was great fun with us and Alan and Rob were amazing at getting our children down and diving confindently and safely. Lots to see and loved the enthusiasm of our guides. There are so many choices of dive company in Trincomalee but I will definitely only come back here
Amazing time

5.00I had an amazing time doing my Open Water Diver course here! My instructor Alan was absolutely fantastic – his calm and fun way of teaching made the whole experience super enjoyable. At the same time, I felt completely safe and well taken care of during every step of the training. The dive school places a very strong emphasis on quality and safety, which gave me great confidence throughout the course. It was a perfect balance of learning and fun, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to scuba diving. Highly recommended!
Good diving school with good equipment and knowledgeable instructors

5.00Beautiful diving school with very skilled instructors! My girlfriend did a dive here for the first time and was in very good hands. Everything was explained quietly and took the time to practice quietly. In addition, there are also very nice staff. The equipment was of high quality. After the dive we had a nice meal in the restaurant. We were so satisfied with the service that the next day we booked a snorkel trip here as well. They also offer other trips.

5.00My girlfriend and I had a wonderful diving experience today. We had a diving instructor from South Africa (unfortunately I forgot his name), who was extremely friendly and guided my girlfriend’s first dive very professionally (Trydive). Now she wants to go diving again — mission accomplished! :) One of the best dive schools I’ve seen so far. Thank you so much for today!
