Does the hotel have a diving center?
Tell me, please, I'm a diver, I would like to dive in Sri Lanka, is there a diving center close to the hotel (and it would be better with it)? Thanks everyone in advance

I also love diving. It’s bad to dive in Sri Lanka. If you compare it with the Red Sea, then it’s a naked swamp. The water is muddy, I think this is because there are many mountain rivers. But you can, there are places, for example, where at certain times the turtles come to the shore to feed. you can look at them, large, interesting, one saw a head larger than a human. : ). Koralov did not see only large boulders, you can swim among the stones.

Mmm, Arthur, thank you very much, it’s clear that you can’t compare, I saw such people on Red in Marsa Alam, what to talk about a whale shark of 4 meters and beautiful manta rays in the Maldives ... I just wanted to combine it with a trip to Sri Lanka .. .It's strange that it's like the Indian Ocean..Maybe there are places, but there are probably no hotels there, I think, somewhere in the north, where the war is...Anyway, thanks for the comment!

I agree, there is no diving and no prerequisites, and even much of what is written, what is there, is still not there :)))

Bentota Beach Hotel, next door to Vivanta by Taj (which you are asking about), has a water sports center.
For suhova1971: By the way, hostilities on the ShL ended in May 2009. The headquarters of the terrorists of the LTTE "Tigers of Tamil Elam" movement was defeated.
Since then, a number of previously inaccessible places have been opened for visits and tourism development.
Among them - and convenient for diving Trincomalee, Nilaveli, Baticaloa and Passikuda (Northern Islands). The season there is from May to October (see the topic about diving in this section).
For sashenka1986: this is not entirely true.
It is enough to look at the English language. web resource www dot divesrilanka dot com, and look through the old OCTOPUS files - in 2004, I remember there was an extensive overview of the island's opportunities for diving enthusiasts.
