About this dive shop

Spectacular marine life, vibrant reefs, warm waters and big fish encounters make Kuramathi a diving destination not to be missed. Add this to the wonderful natural beauty of the island, comfortable accommodation and an excellent range of facilities and you have the perfect location for your diving holiday! The Rasdhoo Divers team, under the Anglo-Austrian management of Matt Berry and Helmuth Steuber has been providing exciting, but safe dives for adventurous Kuramathi guests amongst the amazing marine life and warm waters of the Indian Ocean, since 1994. Our experienced, multi-lingual dive team provides a friendly and professional service to our guests and our enthusiastic instructors will inspire beginners to discover this amazing liquid world while learning to dive with SSI or PADI. Experienced divers will also find challenging dives with many types of sharks, mantas, turtles, rays, napoleons, barracuda, trevally and tuna as well as many of the smaller, but no less interesting inhabitants of the reef. Comfort and convenience for diving guests is assured with fast, modern dive boats that reach more than 20 local dive sites in an average boat ride of just 15 minutes. Our local Rasdhoo atoll trips are supplemented by half day and full day trips to dive some of the best sites in neighboring North Ari atoll. Our knowledgeable team is complemented by the resident marine biologist and the Eco Centre where you can find out everything you want to know about marine life. We also provide nitrox for free to offer divers that extra safety margin and we are well-supported by the Kuramathi Medical Centre and Hyperbaric Chamber. So whether you are a young diver, a family, a complete beginner, a single diver, a couple or a group of experienced divers, we invite you to come and dive with us and join the adventure! Medical Check: Are you fit to dive? This is an important question for every diver or prospective diver and of course we hope you will come and dive with us on Kuramathi and share some of the amazing dive experiences possible in our environment. The RSTC Medical Form below is not a substitute for a medical check-up, but will usually indicate if you should have a medical check-up and if you will need a “Fit To Dive” certificate from a doctor to dive or not. Please kindly download the RSTC form below in your language and read through it. When you will need a FTD (FIT TO DIVE) medical certificate from a doctor: If you have one or more “YES” answers on the RSTC Form. If you are 65 years or older. Even if you can answer all questions with “NO” on the RSTC form, an FTD certificate is still required for those 65 years or older. As mentioned above, it is highly recommended that you obtain this certificate from a licensed diving physician. If you are 75 years or older, our insurer applies special conditions; please contact us for more information. In addition, please note: if you suffer from any serious medical condition which could compromise your safety and health while diving, you should be evaluated and certified fit to dive by a registered diving physician only. When you will NOT need a FTD (FIT TO DIVE) medical certificate from a doctor: If you can answer all questions with “NO”, have no medical conditions and are under 65 years of age. A “Fit To Dive” certificate should not include any restrictions or limitations as these may invalidate it.
