Diver Reviews
David M.
"Diver's Paradise"
As a PADI Divemaster with over 500 dives across the world, I can confidently say this was one of the best dive experiences I've ever had. The diversity of dive sites in North Malé Atoll is incredible - from gentle coral gardens perfect for beginners to exhilarating drift dives and deep walls for advanced divers.
The dive team was exceptional - professional, safety-conscious, and incredibly knowledgeable about marine life and local conditions. Our guide, Hassan, had an uncanny ability to find the most interesting creatures, including a rare guitar shark and several octopuses. The boat was spacious and well-equipped, and the underwater photography workshop helped me finally master wide-angle reef shots. The diver's villa was perfect with its gear storage and rinse area. This package is absolutely worth every penny for serious divers.

"Perfect for Certification"
I booked this package as a beginner with only my Open Water certification, planning to complete my Advanced Open Water during the trip. The experience exceeded all my expectations! My instructor, Aisha, was patient, thorough, and made me feel completely comfortable even during challenging skills like navigation and deep diving.
The house reef was perfect for building confidence before venturing to more advanced sites. By the end of the week, I was confidently diving at sites I never thought I could handle. The highlight was definitely the manta ray expedition - we encountered seven mantas at a cleaning station, and it was a magical experience I'll never forget. The underwater photography workshop was an unexpected bonus that helped me capture these incredible moments. I'm already planning my return trip!

"Marine Life Beyond Imagination"
My wife and I are avid underwater photographers, and this trip delivered beyond our wildest expectations. The variety of marine life was astounding - from the smallest nudibranchs to massive manta rays and everything in between. We even had a rare encounter with a whale shark on our expedition day!
The dive guides were experts at finding photo subjects and positioning divers for the best shots without disturbing the marine life. The photography workshop with the resident pro helped us improve our lighting techniques significantly. Having a dedicated camera table and charging station in our villa was a thoughtful touch that made managing our gear so much easier. The night dive at Maaya Thila was particularly spectacular, with hunting reef sharks and bioluminescent plankton creating an otherworldly experience.
