Great diving experience, very good new equipment, friendly attentive team. My patient Guid has always made me aware of various special fish, including macro! I took wonderful photos of nudibranchs, blenny and crabs.

I’m Samith Fernando, a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer with over 30 years of experience and more than 20000 dives. I am the owner of Kalpitiya Diving Center and Scuba Diving Sri Lanka, both PADI 5-Star Dive Centers. Our second diving location on the southern coast is in Unawatuna. We recently visited Sun Diving PADI 5-Star Dive Resort in Unawatuna, and I must say that the welcome we received from Dilshan, the owner of the Unawatuna Diving Center, was incredibly warm. My family had a wonderful experience, and we did two dives with this center. My children really enjoyed their time. Our dive guide, Mr. Tharu, was excellent—an experienced dive master who is very knowledgeable about all the local dive sites. The dive center has a great team of instructors and dive masters, all of whom are highly experienced. The equipment was in top condition, and there is a nearby restaurant that serves delicious food, which made our experience even more enjoyable. A heartfelt thank you to Dilshan for his hospitality. We highly recommend Sun Diving PADI 5-Star Dive Resort in Unawatuna. Dilshan ❤️ Thank you so much for your Hospitality bro 🤙🏻 Happy Bubbles

Everything about this organisation was slick and helpful from the first online communication to the actual dive. As a newly certified diver, this was my first fun dive. They helped me check my equipment and then we were off in the boat to travel a short distance to the dive site. It was just me and my dive master in the water as my wife chose to snorkel around the anchored boat instead. The wind was whipping up the surf so visibility wasn't the best (about 8m I guessed) but sufficient to see the plethora of brightly coloured fish, the wreck, the amazing lines of seabed pots and the spooky statue which seems to creep up on you. Got to see a stingray and a lion fish. Back on shore, the tea was refreshing after the exhilaration of diving in a mild swell. Everything about Sun Diving was professional and the location is beautiful.

We were a group of 15 divers travelled together for 10 fun dives over 3 days. The dive instructors, dive masters and the whole team were fantastic. I felt safe with this dive centre. All the dives were boat dives and we returned back to the centre after each dive. The team took all our equipment to the boat for us, assisted us on board, helped us to put on our equipment and helped to get in and out of the sea. After each dive they took our kit back to the dive centre and changed the tanks over whilst we sat and drank tea! An excellent experience thankyou !

We had refresher dives since it had been a while since we last dived – the instructors were helpful and skilled. After that, we did four dives, only renting equipment. It was the most affordable diving I’ve ever experienced ($25–45 per dive). The equipment was good, and they took care of all the rigging and transport for us while serving tea on the beach. The staff were friendly and service-oriented. The dive sites and marine life were impressive. (Unfortunately, the coral life is somewhat limited due to the tsunami, but this applies to the entire coast.)

Very happy with this place! Very nice venue right on the water and incredibly friendly staff. All dives went smoothly and they were very efficient and helpful throughout. Not to mention it was very affordable!

Awesome diving experiences in early October. We wanted to go out, and they were honest with us saying that the visibility wasn't great, but they went out anyway and took us on some wonderful dives. As it was early season it was mostly just my partner and I with Wishva (Divemaster). Wishva was very attentive to what we wanted to see, and was able to edit dives to our liking! Boat crew also great and their driver knows the sea like the back of his hand. We felt so welcomed that after we left Unawatuna, we came back solely to go diving with Sun Diving, lovely people x) Amazing experience. AND TEA! :D

The diving team were very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. They talked us through all of the information we needed not having dived for a while. They demonstrated clearly and supported us throughout. They were ensuring our safety at all times and bent over backwards to make it easy and a pleasure for us. A great team!!
