Demonstrating that ‘Nothing in life is impossible’, a momentous event took place recently where twelve injured war heroes participated in a deep sea scuba dive in Hikkaduwa recently.

The event was facilitated by internationally recognised white water rafting expert, Outbound Adventurers led by its founder Shehan Pilapitiya. The event was graced by Dharmasiri de Silva, Chairman and Gehan de Silva, Managing Director of the HDDES Group, who were proud to initiate and participate in this historic event, the first of its kind in the region, bringing credit to Sri Lanka.
