The experience was really great and our diving instructor fabeo and alex both have instructed really well and it is really recommended to come here
Thank you very much for your 5* review, we are glad that you liked our diving centre and your scuba diving experience with us. You are welcome to dive with us anytime again on your next trip to Sri Lanka.
I did my OWD (open water diver) certification with Divinguru and I had an amazing experience. From theorie in different languages available to the first diving experience learning skills in a rather big tank, to the first dives in the ocean - everything was well organised and I always felt really safe while diving. Ellie, our instructor, helped us with all our questions, pointed out hidden aquatic life to us and made the whole course a lot of fun. Thank you very much for opening the under water world to me, I will never forget this experience!
Thank you Alicia very much for your review and congratulation on becoming PADI Open Water Diver! Thank you for choosing Divinguru for your scuba education and we wish you safe and wonderful dives in future! It was great fun to do the course with you, keep diving :)
I recommend the center. The instructors are very professional and caring. They are all very kind. I took my Open Water Diver lessons with Delphine. I thank her enormously for her kindness, her patience, her kindness, and her teaching.
Thank you for your 5 star review we are happy that you liked our diving centre.
Online booking allowed me to plan my vacation. Discount for booking in advance was a pleasant bonus. At first I planned to get only OWD certification and some fun dives. Dive center staff helped me get the most out of my limited vacation time. As a result I got OWD, AOWD and Enriched Air certification. My instructor, Norbert, has perfect English, so I had no trouble understanding him even though English isn't my native language. During the dives I felt safe and comfortable. Once the skills were finished, training dives turned into fun dives. We were watching underwater life. Norbert drew my attention to sneaky aquatic life, so that I wouldn't have missed them. It took some time for me to master buoyancy control, but once I did, I had wonderful time exploring underwater world. Dive center organized pick up and drop off by tuk-tuk. It was very convenient and the driver was very nice. Unlike many other tuk-tuk drivers, he didn't try to suggest unwanted services. I am extremely happy I chose this dive center to start my journey into the underwater world.
