What divers say about diving holidays in Sri Lanka
“A week diving in Sri Lanka and a week in the Maldives was the perfect combination. Being guided around the island meant we had nothing to worry about, really took the stress out of the trip and the the Maldives, unbelievable.”
“I didn’t expect to be so wowed. People had compared it to India but Sri Lanka has so much more and it’s very accessible. We loved temples and tea plantations. Wonderful”
