Fantastic scuba diving

Amazing experience with this center🤿🌊 they contacted me beforehand, picked me up from my villa, and dropped me back afterward. The whole session lasted about 4 hours: 1 hour of theory, 1 hour of practical training in the ocean near the shore, and then a boat trip away from the shore, where we dove down to 15 meters for about 45 minutes. The training was excellent, I felt like I was prepared for certification to dive on my own. This was my second time scuba diving, the first was 10 years ago in Egypt, and it felt just as incredible. Huge thanks to my instructor, Pasi, who was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience safe and enjoyable️☺️ Highly recommend😊

Operator response

We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to our team. They’ll be thrilled to hear that he made your experience safe, enjoyable, and memorable. Looking forward to welcoming you back for more underwater adventures in the future 😊

Relaxed diving

We stayed in touch with ZRI Adventures until late on Sunday and joined the next morning's scuba. They also arranged a transfer tuktuk and Whatsapped a picture of the license plate. Very polite and no anxiety. This will be my second visit to the Original Mirissa Dive Center . It is attractive to arrive in 5 minutes from your accommodation. Scuba is a party for six people. Fill out paperwork, prepare tanks, explain where to dive in briefings, review hand signs, and leave. The boat went smoothly and without seasickness. Underwater, the tank level was checked regularly to ensure safety. Many times, schools of fish passed by and found moray eel, beautiful little sea slugs, and so on. The water may be warm, but thanks to the divemasters, I was able to dive leisurely and enjoy it. Thank you very much.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for diving with us again! We’re delighted to hear that our communication, transport arrangements, and attention to detail helped you feel comfortable and at ease from start to finish. It’s great to know you enjoyed the smooth boat ride, the thorough briefing, and the marine life encountered during the dive. Our dive masters always prioritize safety while ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable experience, so your kind words truly mean a lot to us. We sincerely appreciate your trust in ZRI Adventures and our Dive Center, and we hope to welcome you back for another dive soon!

Scuba diving

I recently went on a diving trip, and while the waves were quite rough, the experience was unforgettable. As a beginner, I was a bit nervous, but the instructor was incredibly supportive and stayed with me every step of the way. He understood my needs and guided me patiently through the process. Despite the challenging conditions, I felt safe and well taken care of. It was a great introduction to diving, and I’m looking forward to doing it again in calmer waters!
