Excellent dive company -Unawatuna
Absolutely delightful and professional staff. New & well maintained equipment. The pre dive information was very clear and both of the dives were very well led by our Divemaster Irian. We selected to dive with Divinguru over the other local dive companies due to their helpful advice prior to diving and watching their interactions from the beach with their divers before going out and returning from dives. I highly recommend them.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your 5* review, we are glad that you liked our diving centre and your scuba diving experience with us. You are welcome to dive with us anytime again on your next trip to Sri Lanka.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Fun Dives For Certified Divers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Galle.
How much does Fun Dives For Certified Divers cost?
+
Prices start at $52 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Galle usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Fun Dives For Certified Divers take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Galle is not rushed.
Is Fun Dives For Certified Divers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 54 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Galle, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Fun Dives For Certified Divers?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Fun Dives For Certified Divers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Fun Dives For Certified Divers?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Galle can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Galle and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Fun Dives For Certified Divers start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Galle within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Galle?
+
On Outty we rank every Galle experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sea waves sri lankan cooking class, Galle Unawatuna Cooking Class, Whale Watching Mirissa with WWC. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Galle?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Galle?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Fun Dives For Certified Divers?
+
Included: Bottled water; Use of SCUBA equipment; Snacks; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Fun Dives For Certified Divers include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 99 listed pickup locations in and around Galle. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Fun Dives For Certified Divers offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Hindi, English, Polish, French, Tamil and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Fun Dives For Certified Divers?
