Short history
Our Trincomalee Diving Centre was opened in 2014 in Uppuveli (3 km from Trincomalee). This makes diving in Sri Lanka possible year round on both, south and north-east coasts. In 2021, it was reconstructed under the new brand Divinguru®.
We share our diving passion through our courses in PADI Diving in Trincomalee, Fun Dives and Beginner Try Diving. We also offer Snorkeling and Whale Watching experiences on the east coast.

What is the best time to spot Whales and Dolphins on the east coast?
Most sightings occur between March/April and August/September, as whales continue their migrations around the island from the south coast (where they mainly congregate from December to April) – this means that Sri Lanka offers around ten months of continuous whale & dolphin watching annually at different points around the coast. – a fantastic addition to your Trincomalee diving experience!

Trincomalee diving promises encounters with vibrant reef fish, moray eels, rays, turtles, and sometimes even blue whales offshore! The region’s healthy coral ecosystems make every dive a colourful and exciting adventure beneath the waves.
