Wreck Diving Specialty

Trincomalee is one of Asia's best wreck diving destinations. The bay holds genuine WWII history. HMS Hermes lies at 45 to 53 m. The SS British Sergeant sits at 18 to 24 m. Irarakandy at 6 to 10 m is accessible to recreational divers. This specialty prepares you for all of them.

Night Diving Specialty

The reef at night is a different place. Parrotfish wrap themselves in mucus cocoons. Moray eels leave their holes to hunt. Octopus move across the sandy patches. Kill your torch and wave your hand through the water; bioluminescent plankton light up every movement in blue-green flashes.

Enriched Air (Nitrox) Specialty

Nitrox means diving with more oxygen than regular air, usually 32 or 36 percent instead of 21 percent. In practice, you get longer no-decompression limits at depth and faster surface intervals between dives. This course teaches you to use it safely.

Peak Performance Buoyancy

Buoyancy is the foundation of everything in diving. Photography, wreck diving, air consumption, reef interaction; all of it gets easier when your buoyancy is properly dialled in. This course focuses on exactly that across four training dives.

Coral Reef Conservation Specialty

We have been diving Trincomalee's reefs for 15 years. We have watched bleaching events, anchor damage, and sediment run-off. We have also watched reefs recover. This specialty is partly classroom and partly practical reef survey work underwater.
