Question Which dive sites would you recommend for Unawatuna, Sri Lanka?

[Raptur]

Hello All,

can’t find much reviews about the 16 dive sites in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka. Any recommendations? For reference, I attached a map which I got from one of the diving schools below.

My friend and I would like to go diving in the upcoming 3 days. Which dive sites would you recommend?

More info about us:
- I have the Advanced Open Water Diver
- My friend is a beginner (did one dive so far)
- We consider doing one dive together and I would do one more advanced dive without him

Check with Sun Diving Sri Lanka and ask for Shan, he's the owner and manager and can advise on the dive spots.
They are an international team of dive guides and instructors and this dive center is among the better ones I have seen around the world so far.

If you are not stuck in Unawatuna, you can go slightly north from Galle, to Hikkaduwa and there are several very cool wrecks with awesome currents. Your friend may not be able to join you on these.

Just a hint. Somewhere around May the climate was changing in Sri Lanka and makes diving difficult in West and Southwest part of the island, with diving shifting to NorthEast. Worth checking in advance!
