TWO LOCATIONS FOR SNORKELLING

  1. The Unawatuna Reef is renowned for its stunning beach and also provides an incredible underwater adventure. With numerous shallow areas, it is an ideal location for snorkeling. Snorkelers can enjoy exploring a small shipwreck, as well as encountering vibrant corals and colorful fish from the Indian Ocean. Accessible within a short boat ride from our diving center, Unawatuna Rocks offer an unforgettable snorkeling experience. The duration of the trip is approximately one hour.

  2. Just a short distance away from Unawatuna and Galle lies the hidden gem of Jungle Beach Bay. With its stunning beach and shallow entry points, it’s the perfect spot for snorkeling. Whether you prefer to snorkel from the shore or from a boat, you’ll have a great time exploring the underwater world. The entire trip takes approximately one and a half hours, so you’ll have plenty of time to soak up the sun and enjoy the scenery.

Seahorse Divers Unawatuna Went snorkeling and a beginner scuba diving lesson with Seahorse Divers. They were extremely helpful, friendly and very safe for beginner scuba diving. We each had an individual instructor for shallow water training and whilst diving. We had an amazing time. Saw fantastic tropical fish and explored a shipwreck!

Excellent dive centre! Great dive centre with experienced and helpful staff. All safety proceedures explained and followed very well. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. I wanted to do a wreck dive and night dive while I'm here and they made sure I could fit those in to my short visit to Sri Lanka. Small groups per boat. Excellent experience.

Interesting wreck dive with highly rated dive centre There are three main locations for scuba diving on south coast at Hikkadawa Unuwatuna and Tangalle and I was fortunate to dive in all three locations in February. There are a number of dive centres in Unawatuna and it can be quite difficult to make the right choice to suit your needs.It is apparent from the recent reviews that this is a highly rated dive centre whose standards have been maintained rigorously in spite of recent challenging times and its impact on tourism You arrive at 0830 hrs at the dive centre - very modern with a selection of well maintained up to date equipment.It was reassuring that there was the normal checks including your dive history and the presentation of your dive log book Rohana,who overseers the dive centre,is a recognised PADI dive master,as are a number of his colleagues It was €25 for one dive and all the equipment which is very reasonable for an off shore boat dive.We were a group of two advanced open water divers and were joined by a dive master and an instructor.The dive site is the wreck of a sunken cargo vessel Tango from 1866.There was a briefing as one would expect about the location of the wreck dive, the configuration of the wreck and a dive plan then you walk a few minutes from the dive centre to the beach and you enter the boat direct from the beach. Under water visibilty is affected here as numerous muddy rivers drain into this southern coast location.There were a number of different shoals of fish including batfish.There was a singular large porcupine (see images).There was 5-7 m slightly murky visibility at a maximum depth of 25 metres A thankyou to Rohana - friendly and welcoming.He puts you at ease with his relaxed demeanour but that does not detract from his professionalism

Nice place to get the first scuba diving experience Nice place to get the first scuba diving experience. Staff is friendly and they provide a guide for each individual. Not sure they clean the mouth piece after each use.

Amazing Dive Center Sea Horse is the best dive center I ever dived with. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful and professional. They really take good care of you and easily solved some special requests I had. I made more dives than I had planned, cause I had such a fun time with the complete team. Thank you for the amazing time and experience!

Awesome I went on a solo diving experience with Sea Horse Diving Resort in Unawatuna. Even though I planned this suddenly, I was able to schedule a session the very next morning, which I loved by the way for a morning dive. (Always wanted to get that experience) They deserve 5 stars and the recommendations. Because they do their job perfectly and they let you love scuba diving more and more. They have an amazing staff, professional, full of fun and positive vibes. The experience was great, even though I was somewhat freaked out (first time), the instructor was super great and patient. They are super professional and clearly know what they are doing. Thank you so much. I will be diving again with them in the future soon. I would like to say thank you to all of the staff members; I’m very grateful. Yesith Yasarathna

Great dive Did the introductory dive session. Training was thorough and the instructors were very attentive so we felt really safe. We went to a different reef due to reduced visibility at the usual site. They really care about giving you a great diving experience. Highly recommend.
