Scuba Diving & other water sports.

After completing the PADI Open Water Diver courses we decided to go kayaking. Starting from Ypsylon Dive Center, Sampath, Shaggy, Ruwan & my self launched the 2 kayaks. We left at 3.00 pm &  reached Poseidon Diving School which is approximately 5 Km’s south within about 1 hour & 30 mins.  We stopped for a cup of tea at Poseidon, then we headed back to Ypsylon which took a similar amount of time.   The sea here is ideal for this.. very calm with almost no waves.. Kayaking trip was very easy, relaxed & loads of fun.
