“I dived here in Feb 2022. Amazing staff, as they are all local, they are there for the long haul. Other centres employ European staff they are just temporary – local staff have the commitment to their clients, as they care that their clients are safe and enjoy themselves. Book with Divers Land, you will not regret it.”

“1) Dive Safe- feel very safe with the dive team. Everyone is so responsible preparing and helping before dive. Dive master all the time checking on the divers and make sure all of us are ok and feel comfortable during the dive. 2) Excellence service – Good preparation of all setting up of equipment, cleaning and fixing. 3) Great staff team- boss is helpful , staff are friendly and polite. 4) value for money. Reasonable rate for 5 star service experience . When you dive with such a passionate team.. it is so fun!”

Unawatuna diving is among the best in the whole of South East Asia. All our dive locations are close to our home base. There are reefs, pinnacles and fish galore, and a number of shallow-water historical shipwrecks over 140 years old, including the SS Rangoon (1873).

Each dive site gives a unique glimpse into the ocean.
