    Best Place to get your PADI Open Water Diver License in Sri Lanka. The Instructor Sam Fernando is very friendly and acts extremely professional. He make sure that we are safe and make sure we get familiar with all the skills during the dive. His charismatic behaviour makes the Dives more interesting and happy. He is more like a friend than a Instructor. Recommended to Visit Kalpitiya Diving Centre. 😁

    Instructor Sam and everyone are very kind and friendly. The highest consideration is given to mental health and safety in every training activity that is completed in accordance with all PADI-prescribed standards. For open-water diving licences, all prerequisite skills and knowledge are given very accurately. Highly recommended for dive beginners as well as fun divers without any fear.πŸ’™πŸ‘Œ

    Did our Open Water PADI Diving Course at KDC in Tricomalee couple of days ago! Learning the skills that was needed, was taught in a very methodical way and was easy to digest/ remember. Instructor Sam Fernando was exceptional in teaching and made us practice the needed skill set until we were thorough with it. Way that he taught the safety points, through the situations he faced in his long years as a diver, got them into our heads well! He is super passionate on diving and teaching therefore it was super fun doing the course with him! Friendly and exceptional staff with quality and well maintained equipment. Would highly recommend KDC and Sam Fernando to anyone who would like to learn this amazing activity! Happy Bubbles 🫧

    Happy bubbles πŸ’™πŸŒ¬ The friendly staff and family of Mr.Sam were helpful in finishing the course successfully.❀️ First, we were more confused about diving. But the counselors taught us all the skills to help reduce our fears. We completed our open water diving course with the help of the friendly staff. During the dive session, all the staff focused on our safety as buddies. We got to see the real world under the water, including large and very small marine life and corals. πŸ™πŸ¦‘ Highly recommended for anyone interested in exploring the stunning underwater world🐑🐠. Thank you sir❀️

    Ace diving outfit! Very professional in all their guided PADI certification courses. Would recommend to anyone needing Open water or Advanced open water and other PADI courses (I have done a fair bit of diving witha few other outfits in Sri Lanka and these guys are thorougly organized compared to most of them). I've seen students being approached with many different teaching techniques with an infinite amount of patience.. till they got rid of any fear or inability to do the required exercise. Sam is a brilliant teacher and a overall a very nice human being. You cannot go wrong with Kalpitiya Dive Center!

    KDC in Trincomalee is a great place to dive. Very calm sea, can recommend for beginners to do their training. And Sam is the one of best instructors I have ever met. He has a wonderful skill that he can understand his students and change his way of teaching to suitable for that particular student. He encourages his students and try his best to wipe off the fear. Sam is very familiar with the dive sites in Trincomalee. I highly recommend KDC in Trincomalee.

    After a lot of recommendations we decided to go for a discover dive with Sam the instructor from the Kalpitiya diving center branch in trincomalee. We had the most amazing diving experience with Sam (the diving instructor) who was extremely experienced and very well knew what he was doing. He was capable in teaching us the initial techniques very well (in the shallow water) in a way that we were able to understand and handle our selves alone under water in the deep sea. But of course we were always under the guidance and observation in deep see to make sure we were safe and doing alright. We were able to see various types of flora and fauna underwater. We also saw multiple cave sites that were absolutely magical. We are so excited and can’t wait to go back and do the PADI professional diving course with them! We can without a doubt recommend our instructor Sam (Samitha Fernando - +94(0)776636590) from the Kalpitiya diving center to any beginner or even any professional diver to guide you through your underwater water adventures to see the most magical dive sites in Kalpitiya and Trincomalee!

First and foremost, the team at Kalpitiya Diving Center is truly exceptional. Their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine passion for diving are unparalleled. The instructors are highly qualified and made me feel completely at ease, especially as a beginner diver. They provided clear instructions, ensuring safety while allowing me to fully immerse myself in the magical world beneath the waves. The equipment at Kalpitiya Diving Center is top-notch, and they take great care in maintaining it. Everything was in excellent condition, and they had a wide range of sizes available, ensuring a comfortable fit for all divers. It was clear that safety is their utmost priority, which added an extra layer of confidence throughout my dives. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Kalpitiya Diving Center to anyone seeking an unforgettable diving experience. Whether you're a seasoned diver or a beginner like me, their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to safety will ensure an incredible journey into the underwater world. From the moment I arrived until the day I left, I was treated with the utmost care and hospitality.

    Best Instructor & Excellent Diving Center! I got my PADI open water diving license from Kalpitiya Diving Center. Mr. Samith Fernando is friendly, funny and well experienced instructor. It was my first diving experience and i was bit nervous at the beginning . But Mr. Sam taught us everything from the beginning to make sure that we understood. And then I felt very safe and confident. The instructor and his super friendly crew support to full-fill all the requirements in your course and complete the diving course within time. Thank you for this great diving adventure. I would highly recommend Mr. Sam and KDC for anyone looking to get certified or have a wonderful diving experience. Happy Bubbles ❀️

  • 5/5 Escafe With S. 7 months ago on Google β€’ 2 reviews
    Although I have a lot of diving experience, but this is the second diving trip with my wife. We met two very friendly and fun people in Trincomalee, Mr. Samith Fernando (Sam) and his son Sanusha. Felt very safe. The reason for that is Mr. Sam's friendly staff and family. Mr. Sam's wife also helped us a lot. They were all very concerned about our safety. The beautiful and beautiful underwater world of Trincomalee allowed us to see under their protection. It was possible. Within an hour we saw small fishes, coral reefs with a wide variety of fish species. If you are going to Trincomalee for sea diving, I highly recommend Sam's Kalpitiya (PADI) Diving Center with the utmost confidence. Thank you very much Sam brother.

    Excellent diving centre with the best instructor πŸ’™πŸ’« I got my Open Water Diving license from Kalpitiya Diving Center (KDC) 🏝️ Our Sir Mr. Samith Fernando is friendly, funny and well experienced instructor and we had a great time with him. Also the whole team at KDC is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. It's no surprise that KDC is one of the best diving center because of their professionalism and the care they have for their students. It was my first diving experience and I remember during my first scuba dive I was bit nervous and scared. I did not take my eyes off my instructor Sam Aiya and Sanu πŸ˜‚ I turn 360 degrees to see if Sanusha or Sam Aiya was there. At that time, they seemed to be my only source of hope πŸ™Š But thanks to Sam Aiya and his crew, who helped me to overcome my fear and nervousness, I truly enjoyed the dive and I felt very safe and comfortable throughout the dive. They helped us to enjoyed our dive and showed us very beautiful, colorful fish 🐠 🐑 and corals πŸͺΈ Everything around us was awesome, like we were in another beautiful world. It was a amazing experience and after 3 days I became a certified Open Water Diver 🌊🀿πŸ₯³ and I am comfident I had the best education one can obtain. All thanks goes to Samith Fernando our Sir and his team for the best instructions and encouragement throughout training. Thank you for this great diving adventure Sam Aiya, Sanusha and team. I would highly recommend Mr. Sam and KDC for anyone looking to get certified or to have a wonderful diving experience. I can honestly say this has been one of my favorite experiences ever. Love you all guys ❀️ and can't wait to meet you againπŸ’ Happy Bubbles πŸŒŠπŸ’™ 🌬️ πŸ«°πŸ§œβ€β™€οΈ

    Diving had been a long-standing item on my bucket list for several years, and I finally had the opportunity to fulfill that dream in July. I embarked on a series of recreational dives with the fantastic team at Kalpitiya Diving Center, led by the remarkable instructor, Sam Aiya. We dove around Swarmi Rock and the Underwater Naval Museum in Trincomalee, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Sam Aiya, our instructor, was an absolute gem. He struck the perfect balance between ensuring our safety and making sure we had an exhilarating time. Throughout the dives, he not only guided us through the mesmerizing underwater landscapes but also pointed out the fish and intricate coral formations. As a relatively new diver (having earned my PADI certification just a day before) and a girl, I initially felt a bit nervous. However, the team at Kalpitiya Diving Center swiftly put my apprehensions to rest. They were incredibly attentive and quick to assist whenever I needed support. I wholeheartedly endorse Kalpitiya Diving Center as the go-to choice for diving adventures, combining safety and pure enjoyment. Each dive began with a comprehensive briefing on the dive plan, a thorough run-through of signals, and a meticulous equipment check, leaving no room for unexpected issues out at sea. As an added bonus, Sam Aiya thoughtfully brought along his camera to capture our underwater experience, so that we were able to relive the beauty of the dive sites and the enchanting aquatic life when we returned to shore. He suggested fun poses to try at different sites and these pictures are perfect keepsakes. My experience with Kalpitiya Diving Center was nothing short of extraordinary – an absolute 100/10! I'm eager to return for more dives with them, whether in Kalpitiya or Trincomalee. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team at Kalpitiya Diving Center for providing an unforgettable and safe diving experience. Happy Bubbles indeed!

    My sister and I were interested in going for a DSD (Discover scuba dive) in Trincomalee and we reached out to Sam aiya (Mr Samitha Fernando) who was more than happy to accommodate us. Before the dive his trusty crew ensured all the equipment were safe and upto regulation while Sam aiya gave us a briefing on the 2 dive sites we were going to go to. We visited swami rock and the navy museum which was an immaculate experience. Along the dive Sam aiya his son Sanusha and his relative Buddhika were our guides in the water and out, telling us stories about the dive sites and their previous dive experiences, giving us vital tips. Once we were in the water constantly they would check on us to make sure we are okay and always check our oxygen levels to make sure we are not low on air. To give us the best experience not only do they ensure our safety but they show us interesting aquatic life and point out any poisonous or potential threats. Sam aiya was generous enough to capture all our underwater moments and share them with us for no charge at all. I recommend kalpitiya diving center to anyone interesting in diving snorkeling. They are the best in the business and are bound to give you the best price and experience.
