Dive spots

Let's plan your next adventure

We organize daily trips every morning with double tanks dives and an extra dive also in the afternoon. Night dives are often organized during the week.

Worldwide known dive sites as Guraidoo Corner or Kandooma Thilla are just 20 min away from our jetty, and we will visit them many times during your diving holiday in Maafushi. Grey reef Sharks, Eagle rays and Mantas are very common and the beautiful reefs around the island will give you the best memories of your life. We look forward to see you soon in Paradise.

We have more than 35 dive spots available in the area around Maafushi, depending on weather conditions and currents. The following 18 are the spots we visit most frequently.
