Had an incredible experience with this diving center! The professionalism of the staff was top-notch, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. The snorkeling session with turtles was truly unforgettable! Despite being amateurs, the guides were patient and made us feel comfortable in the water. The one-hour session flew by as we marveled at the stunning views of fishes and turtles. What amazed us was how close the turtles came to us, allowing us to feed them and take amazing photos and videos (which the staff kindly captured for us). Their expertise and care ensured a safe and enjoyable experience for all. Highly recommend this diving center to anyone looking for an unforgettable snorkeling adventure with turtles!
I was a misinformed tourist and decided to go whale snorkeling because it seems really cool. I now know THIS IS ILLEGAL. Plain and simple. Sri Lanka has made swimming with whales illegal and the only reason they do it is because there is little to no enforcement of the law. They won’t be jumping in the water when there is a coast guard boat or legal whale watching boats around. They try to say they are more ethical than big whale watching boats because it is less people, meanwhile they chase down whales within meters in order to get the chance to jump on them, a practice that only stresses whales and causes them to flee. These waters used to be full of blue whales and now there is only a very low chance to spot them because of unethical tourism like this operator and any that offer swimming with whales. DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY to these people who care more about seeing whale than their welfare. Also do not touch turtles it can harm their protective coating on the shell.
Had an amazing experience with them. We saw 2 fin whales and many dolphins. The whales were very fast to catch any closer glimpses but still was a very exciting experience. The team put in a lot of efforts to find the whale. Really appreciate their commitment. Snorkeling with the turtles was the best.
