Nice experience, the coach is very considerate and did a concise training before we dive into the deep ocean formally. U will see many beautiful fishes here, and the area is non-mainstream, you could experience much more than other tourists

A great center for scuba diving! Contrary to other ones around that area, Dive Lanka goes with small groups and takes great care of it's divers. It also give back a lot to the community with teaching locals and giving them new opportunities. I did my shipwreck certification with them and it was a very pleasant experience.

Working with the community – a great project
All of the dive sites that I wanted to visit could be accommodated by this dive centre and they were prepared to pick me up and drop me back off at my hotel each day. I completed 12 dives over a 4 day period and there were many sites to be seen. The SS Conch was the highlight wreck for me although there was plenty of sea life including Lion fish, Barracuda, Octopus, critters but to name a few.
Snacks and drinks were readily available at all times and the ‘local’ hot lunches were lovely.
The dive boat was in good order and could easily accommodate six divers.
It was before the main season starts (November) so the sea was a bit rough and this affect the visibility however this could not be helped obviously.
The Dive Master was highly competent as was the captain.
One thing that is important to any diver is that you have good equipment to hire and I can confirm that their equipment looks close to brand new and all tanks were recently tested.
I had the pleasure also of diving with some of the local youths that are being trained by this organisation, free of charge, so that they can go on to teach the next generation of explorers.
I highly recommend this centre and all the charitable work that they do for the community.
Well run business AND incredible cause
I was recommended to dive with Dive Seenigama from a friend because of their work with the local community and keen eye towards marine conservation. Not only did I get all of that, as well as support for the work I was conducting (I am a marine biologist), but this business is well run and the diving is safe/fun/organized. They have two boats that can go out daily (with a little help to get pushed in the water!) and dive at numerous spots around the region. The two wrecks (Conch and Shaftesbury) are well worth a day. Accommodations are wonderful as well. I stayed for a budget at the Sports center, but it was clean, well run and breakfast was excellent everyday. They also have more upscale villa living if that how your roll. I can’t thank this team enough for their support, and I truly hope their business grows as it is built on community, and gives back to those impacted by the tsunami. Good luck team!
Shipwreck diving
All the other boats that we crossed at the dive sites were bigger and crowded with large groups of divers. On our boat, it was only me with the instructor and when another diver wanted to join, he went with another dive master.
Overall, if you are looking for a personalized experience with very competitive prices, don’t hesitate to go with Dive Seenigama.
Enjoy your dives and help local community at once!
I have been diving with Dive Seenigama for severals months (10 dives) and volunteering with them for Reef rehabilitation projects, such as corals planting.
If you want to Dive for a good cause, this is your place !!!! You can do the same Dives as the Dive shop in Hikkaduwa but fund an amazing cause and enjoy the view of the Temple on the island which is absolutely beautiful

Amazing experience
The dive centre is an amazing company. Putting their profits back into helping the local community by training them to dive for free. A very warm and friendly service and would 100% recommend them.

New meeting with old friends
I would like to note that the staff is well aware of the favorable and unfavorable conditions for diving at the moment, cares about customers and that the customer enjoys. All staff are very attentive, polite , affable and I am very thankful for all of them))
Diving center has good new equipment and professional dive guides.
I can recomend to all my friends to spend holiday with Dive Seenigama Dive Lanka
Hope see you soon my friends)))
Great dive centre
The equipment was in good condition with the boat launching straight from the beach. This dive centre is closer to the dive sites than many in Hikkaduwa, so transfer times to the dive site was short.
Charlie, the instructor was calm and clear and lead the dives well with good communication both above and below the surface.
It was a pleasure to dive in 29 degrees with 10 -15 metre visibility!
We chose this centre as it is less commercial than others and gives back it’s profits to the local community. The dive centre staff were polite and courteous and couldn’t do enough to help us. Highly recommend if you are looking for diving in this area.
I had a lovely day and hope to dive with you again
