Poseidon Diving Station, Ltd.Dive center

Poseidon Diving Station has been diving and teaching around Sri Lanka since 1973, which makes for a long memory of these waters. Its PADI 5 Star IDC Center in Hikkaduwa is staffed by four instructors, three of them Master Scuba Diver Trainers plus a Master Instructor, with a Course Director overseeing instructor training.

Beginners can start any day with an Open Water course, and the ladder continues through rescue, divemaster and instructor development. Certified divers head out each day with five divemasters to wrecks, reefs and rock formations. A second base operates at Trincomalee. Teaching is in English and Russian, with snorkeling and Emergency First Response also covered.
