  • 5/5 Asanga P. 2 years ago on Google • 128 reviews
    My 15-year-old daughter and I just did our dive refresher with Pigeon Island Diving center. Sri Shankar and the team were just fantastic instructors, very experienced and knowledgeable, and very thorough and patient with a real passion for diving and also teaching and promoting diving safely. Also very safety conscious & very good with kids. My daughter and I really enjoyed the session and definitely will do it again. Initially, I was very nervous, but with guidance and encouragement, I was managed to learn the basic skills and continuously stay underwater for nearly 40 minutes. It was a fantastic experience as you got explored a completely new world of beauty which you'll never get by watching on TV. If you dreaming of diving but are scared to do it, just stop dreaming and do it... I'd thoroughly recommend them to anyone wanting to learn to dive and especially if you were wanting to introduce your children to scuba.

    I had an incredible scuba diving experience with Pigeon Island Diving Center. The diving instructors were highly experienced and provided clear guidance throughout. The diving equipment was top-notch, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. I especially loved that they offered GoPro video footages, allowing me to capture unforgettable moments underwater. The pricing was reasonable and affordable. I highly recommend them for a memorable diving adventure.

    This was our first scuba diving session. I can assure to anyone and recommend this diving center to anyone as the best. The main instructor (Mr.Shankar) was really good in teaching us the basics of diving. Price is reasonable. I think it's the lowest. But the quality was maximum. This team covers the whole underwater tour with a GO pro. So at the end of the session you can collect your memories.

  • 5/5 Sri lanka A. 4 months ago on Google
    Pigeon Island, situated off the coast of Trincomalee, Sri Lanka, is a tropical haven for nature enthusiasts. The crystal-clear waters teem with vibrant coral reefs, offering an unparalleled snorkeling experience. The island's biodiversity, including diverse marine life and bird species, adds to its allure. The well-maintained facilities and guided tours enhance the visitor experience. While the coral formations are awe-inspiring, the limited beach space may pose a challenge during peak times. Nonetheless, Pigeon Island stands as a testament to Sri Lanka's natural beauty and ecological richness, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a harmonious blend of marine wonders and serene landscapes.

    We recently had the pleasure of diving with Shanker, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Shanker's attention to our safety and ensuring we had a great time was outstanding. We were fortunate enough to witness a rare turtle during our first dive, making it even more memorable. I highly recommend Shanker and Dhanu to anyone interested in exploring the beauty of the underwater world. They are passionate, professional, and guarantee an incredible adventure. Thank you, Shanker, for organizing such a fantastic dive session!

    From the moment I stepped into Pigeon Island Diving Centre in the beautiful Trincomalee, Sri Lanka, I was swept up in a wave of professionalism, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm. The entire staff instantly put me at ease, ensuring each dive briefing was thorough yet easy to grasp. What made my first-ever diving experience truly unforgettable was our guide, Shankar. His profound knowledge of scuba diving, coupled with his passion for the underwater realm, transformed our dive into a magical journey beneath the waves. His patient, personalized coaching style and his ability to identify intriguing marine life made us feel both safe and awestruck in this new underwater world. The centre is fully equipped with high-standard gear and comfortable boats, reflecting their commitment to safety and customer satisfaction. They also curated the best spots to showcase Trincomalee’s vibrant aquatic life. Whether you're a seasoned diver or a novice, I wholeheartedly recommend Pigeon Island Diving Centre for an unforgettable diving experience. Their devotion to safety, passion for the ocean, and professional service guarantees a dive that is as exhilarating as it is secure. So, if you're in Trincomalee, don't miss the chance to dive with Shankar and the excellent team at Pigeon Island Diving Centre!
