Diving

The resorts PADI Dive centre – Dolphin Base Dive & Watersports - offers a full range of services for its clients, provided by a professional multi-lingual team (courses are offered in German, English, French, Italian, Japanese and Russian). Several of the top dive areas such as the Embudhoo Canyon and an additional five protected marine areas are in close proximity to the island and may be reached by boat, either the dive dhoni or by speed boat.

Because of the multitude of sites nearby, an overcrowded dive site is a completely foreign concept here. Nearby sites include those with impressive coral formations, shark and manta (season dependent!) points, to overhangs and grottos. The centre’s staff know the best sites suitable for beginners, or for the experienced can take you to spectacular drift dives in the legendary canals like Embudhoo Express or Guraidhoo Kandu. It is fair to say that there is something for everyone and because you will often find that the numbers of divers per group are very small this allows the centre to offer a very personalised service.
