excellent diving experience
we had an excellent diving experience with the International Diving School in Hikkaduwa. They were responsive to emails beforehand and organised the trips as we needed them in the two days we were there. Thank you!

Had an amazing time at International Diving School!! All instructors were very patient, professional and well prepared. I’ve gained loads of skills during my Open Water Dive course. They got great equipment and everything you need to have an amazing experience in the water. Can’t recommend enough!

Perfect diving
We stay in Hikkaduwa at the Coral Sands Hotel The dive Center is direct locatet on the hotel beach, you can enter the diving boats very easy. the staff is very friendly and very helpful. Most of the equipment is brand new, before each dive you get a exact briefing from the dive site. Special thanks for the great dives to our dive guide Lahiru. Hope to see us again Max and Petra

Lovely crew, good equipment, great diving Bodies and just a Great Time!
Best divingschool ever! We visited the International Diving School with our Family of 6 People and the whole Crew was absolutely professional, very very kind and host friendly! They explained every thing well and it was no problem, to do a Checkdive before we did the main dive. It‘s no Problem to rent some snorkelling Stuff for everyone who don‘t want to go for a dive and we also could join the diving Boat just for snorkelling, while the other Familymembers were diving. Our diving Guide was just great! We were a Group of three and he supported everyone individually! We all felt totally save with him! The guys were very engaged and always offered us tea or coffee after the dive and snorkelling. The equipment was good and save and they also check, if it fits well or not! I can definitely recommend this diving school for women! everyone of us, doesn’t matter witch sex you got, was treated totally gently. We felt very save and comfy to any time! Thank you for this great experience and your whole support! We had a great time in Hikkaduwa.

A warm, fun and safe place to learn how to dive with a team of professional fun divers!
We’ve had such a good time here! My girlfriend and I took the open sea PADI course. Our instructor Sachin and everyone at the school was very professional and just a ton of fun to hang out with. We came back for some extra dives, and to do some snorkeling. The place felt like home! Couldn’t ask for a better and safer environment to learn how to dive I think.
