PADI 5 Star Dive Center

Experience the authentic side of the Maldives with us in Naifaru, a vibrant local Maldivian Island, and make a positive impact during your travels.

Working closely with the local NGO, Atoll Marine Centre, and their on-site Marine Biologists we specialise in Coral Reef Restoration and Conservation training and offer courses in Shark Conservation and Whale Shark Awareness as well as our distinctive Sea Turtle Awareness specialty. We also run weekly clean up / Dive Against Debris events and you can undertake your Dive Against Debris specialty with us too!

We offer PADI training from DSD up to Divemaster level and a range of specialties to enhance your dive skills and ocean awareness. Experienced divers can join us for fun shore and boat dives around the beautiful Lhaviyani Atoll, where we are fortunate to have a array of world-class dive sites, from megafauna cleaning stations and pristine coral reefs to exploring wrecks and exhilarating channel dives.

Not a diver? Join us for snorkel excursions, dolphin watching trips and seasonal Manta excursions to the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Hanifaru Bay, or partake in water sports activities right of the shore from our beach-side centre. Contact our friendly staff for more information.
