Scuba Diving (PADI, Weligama)
Weligama has a PADI dive centre on the bay, and the reef in the area gives beginners a sheltered place to start. If you have wanted to try diving but not committed to a full course, it is a reasonable place to begin.

What we found
In our research we found Weligama Bay Dive Centre, a PADI centre offering courses, with dives on a reef in the bay and a logbook for certified divers. Details change, so confirm current courses, prices, and instructors with them directly.
A bookable alternative
For a certification course we can link to, see our PADI course at Hikkaduwa, which is a real listing with a booking link.
Before you dive
Check that the centre is PADI-registered, ask about instructor-to-student ratios, and be honest about any medical conditions. You cannot fly for a period after diving, so plan your diving well before a flight.
Practical tips
- Do not dive close to a flight home.
- Ask to see equipment and certification before paying.
- A trial dive is a gentler start than a full course.
