Diving FAQ
Do I need to be certified to dive at Amila?
No. Beginners can start with a Discover Scuba Diving experience, while certified divers can join guided fun dives or continue their PADI training.
How far are the dive sites from the resort?
Most sites are a 5–20 minute boat ride, and several reefs are right in front of the resort, so you spend more time underwater and less time travelling.
What marine life will I see?
Expect healthy coral gardens, turtles, giant clams, black-tip reef sharks and outstanding macro life such as ghost pipefish, frogfish and nudibranchs.

Diving is good year-round. December to May offers the calmest water and best visibility, which is ideal for wall dives and underwater photography.
