Hanimadhoo IslandAbout this dive shop
Our Diving Centre guarantees the highest level of quality and professionalism and offers complete sets of rental equipment including BCD’s, regulators, masks, snorkels, fins, wetsuits, dive computers and weights/weight belts. It can provide customised services and courses suitable for both adults and children (from 8 years), along with beginner and refresher courses, available from both PADI and SSI. Everything from Open Water Diver, Advanced and many Specialty Courses are available, including Enriched Air ‘Nitrox’. Discover Scuba Diving’ or ‘Basic ‘Diver’ offers the opportunity to experience diving without the need for any license. These one day ‘experience dives’ are available for those that simply wish to try scuba diving without committing to a full Open Water Diver certification. Free Trials are also offered in our pool, providing the opportunity to try out the equipment with the help of one of our instructors, allowing almost anyone to experience breathing underwater for the very first time, ideal if you’ve never tried scuba diving before! We have almost exclusive access to approximately 30 beautiful dive sites (depending on the season) at an average distance of around 40 minutes by boat. Often with no other boats or divers on any of our dive sites, this offers our divers, amazing opportunities to experience our wonderful marine environment at its absolute best. Our dive team select the appropriate dive sites according to your diving level and experience, with specific sites used for training dives and the more advanced, deeper dive sites for the more experienced, advanced and expert divers. Our dive sites provide the opportunity for divers to see a wide range of marine life from the macro subjects like shrimps and nudibranch, to the larger species such as sharks and even manta rays in the appropriate seasons, while dolphins can regularly be seen while navigating to and from our dive sites.
