Learn Scuba diving / Freediving With Whales In Sri Lanka

This special annual experience is only meant for a handful of people every year……

This trip requires special permits from the government, the coastguard and the Wildlife Department since being underwater with Whales is a heavily regulated activity unlike commercial Whale Watching Tours where you just watch the whales from a boa

We are happy that regulations are in place and Regulations mandate no more than 5 people in one group to avoid scaring the whales with our presence!

• Day 1

Reach Colombo Airport and get transferred to Trincomalee on the East Coast of Sri Lanka, about 5 hours away by Car. The rest of the day is free to soak in the amazing view and beautiful beach. In the evening you do a briefing with your your Scuba diving Instructor depending on the package option/ course option you have chosen.

• Day 2 – 3

On up to 2 day during the trip, we will go searching for Whales on a fast speedboat which we have chartered specifically to get an opportunity to snorkel with the giants with the help of our Whale Guide and Naturalist who has 10 years of experience with the whales in the area.

Please note that it is a maximum of 2 days because if we end up being underwater with the whales on the first try itself, then we wont necessarily be going searching for whales again.

The second half of the day, even on these 2 Whale search days will also be free to do whatever else you want to just like during the course days. The beach we are on itself is so beautiful that you would probably just want to relax and get some sun and sand and be lazy after all the hectic activity in the first half of the day 🙂

• Day 4 – 6

If you chose the shorter package, then Day 4 is a free day for you to explore the city and do other fun stuff. and on Day 5 you will leave back for Colombo Airport to take your flight back home that evening.

And if you chose the longer trip option then on day 4 to day 6, After breakfast, from morning to early afternoon every day for the next 3 days, you will be busy doing the Scuba diving Course  basis whichever course package you have chosen.

In the PADI Open Water Scuba diving License Course for Beginners, you will learn how to use Scuba equipment to breathe underwater starting from shallow waters during practise and moving to deeper waters as the course progresses.

If you are a certified  Scuba Diver already, you will spend the first half of the next 3 days doing 2 fun dives each day from morning to noon at the various amazing dive sites around Trincomalee with an experienced Dive Guide.

The rest of day will be free for everyone to hang out at the beautiful beaches, eat awesome food at the several restaurants and bars all around and explore the area. You can even go on some fun optional half day excursions to nearby National Parks which are pretty amazing amongst other things.

•  Day 7 

You will get transferred back to Colombo Airport  and are good to take a flight back anytime in the evening because it will take 6 hours to get back to the airport from Trincomalee
