After beautiful SUNSET at Poseidon Diving Station SRI LANKA
Poseidon Diving Station was started in 1973 by the combined efforts of S.K. Nandasena (Leslie) Sven Holmberg and Bertl Magnusson.Sven and Bertl arrived as tourists in Sri Lanka looking for somewhere to dive. There were no diving centres but Leslie was recommended as an outstanding skin diver to guide them to the best sites.They were so impressed that they invited Leslie to Sweden to train in SCUBA and later joined together to form Poseidon, the first dive shop in Hikkaduwa.
The business grew as more customers returned year after year for the friendly atmosphere and professional diving. Leslie went on to discover the Conch, Arcturus,Earl of Shaftesbury, Alliance,Orestes and Rangoon wrecks.
In 1998 the centre was registered as a PADI Dive Centre (S-19272) with Chami Sembakuttige as its principal instructor and has since grown but maintained the same friendly and professional reputation.
In 2004 we were recognized by PADI for our achievements,high standards and contribution to community and environment, and became the first PADI Five Star Centre in Sri Lanka.
After nearly 40 years of training divers, in 2012 we became Sri Lanka's first PADI Instructor Development Centre.
Diving in Hikkaduwa Sri lanka - Poseidon Diving Center - 02
We had no clue of diving but after a session with our instructor we were ready to do a deep water dive. We felt secured accompanied by couple of guides for the dive. apart from annoying pain in the ears due to water pressure, rest was an amazing experience.
It was sad to see how human activities have destroyed our corral reef. we wanna do this again in a different location and enjoy the hidden wonders of underwater life.

Poseidon Diving Station Trincomalee
Trincomalee is renowned for its natural harbour and resident whale population; Nilaveli is famous for white sand beaches and the Pigeon Island Marine National Park. These areas provide some great dive sites for all levels of divers and the marine park is especially good for live corals, black tip reef sharks, shoals of reef fishes and turtles.
In the last few years we have explored some new dive sites nearby, including the historic Swami rock, Irrakkakandi wreck and many dive sites around the Pigeon Island Marine Park.
Poseidon Diving Centre, Nilaveli, has grown from a PADI centre, to a PADI five star diving centre and now a PADI five star instructor development centre.
The dive team consists of 3 PADI master scuba diver trainers and 4 PADI divemasters. We have 3 boats with fully trained crew operating daily diving trips for qualified divers, try diving for those who have not dived before (PADI Discover Scuba Diving), and all PADI diving courses. Begin your diving journey with the PADI Open Water Diver course, hone your skills with the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver qualification, or begin the path to a career in diving with the PADI Rescue Diver and Dive Master courses.
Poseidon Diving Trincomalee
Nilavali is one of the best dive locations in Sri Lanka. Unlike the west coast, most of the corals are still thriving in the sea bed along with a wide range of marine species. Around 100 species of corals and 300 coral reef fishes recorded around the Trincomalee area and most of them are found in the Nilavali dive spots. If you are extra lucky, you'll get the chance to snorkel with whale sharks at the end of your dives.
This abundance of marine life around pigeon island can be explored only by diving with the best of the best. I was fortunate enough to collaborate with Praveen and the crew from Poseidon Diving
during my dives. This video is a short collection of clips from my dive trip with them.

Wreck Diving in Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka. SS conch.
My first underwater video, Still have no Idea about shooting in underwater. I just hit record and point my gopro blindly. After few meters red color get disappeared underwater and you left with green and blue colors. Next step would be to buy a red filter for gopro and learn to control buoyancy without going up and down all the time. Special thanks to Praveen and Asanka from Poseidon diving station, hikkaduwa for there support.
Best place to get PADI certification in SL is from Praveen.
