- Visit unspoilt countryside
- Be the first!
Aquarius departs from Trincomalee, the largest natural harbour in Sri Lanka. After a check dive in the area the boat moves South towards the location of the Hermes, making warm up dives en-route. There follows several days diving the Hermes, with an option of a shallower wreck dive in the afternoons. During this time there is an option for an overnight passage further South to the Basses, depending on the guests wishes and the weather conditions. The trip closes with a morning whale watching and snorkelling in the sea off Trincomalee.
This itinerary is more suited to the more experienced diver, wreck enthusiasts and of course photographers. The Hermes is an ideal dive to gain additional Tek training with our Tek Guru Mark Powell or to try out those new toys. Also a great opportunity for photographers to capture those wide angle competition winning wreck shots. Look out for trips escorted by our Wreck and Photo expert Mike Ward . Finally who wouldn't want to see and photograph Whales? A rare opportunity to come home with unrepeatable photos and memories!
Float away in the heart of the Bay of Bengal in total dive seclusion. Feel the rush of exploring completely virgin dive sites in an ever shrinking world - dive Sri Lanka today before the secret gets out.
