The Maldives, beyond the lobby.

This is your chance to dive in one of the world's most advanced passenger tourist submarines. 99% of the Maldives is water — if you haven't visited the underwater world, you've missed the most exciting views and creatures the Maldivian sea has to offer. Imagine yourself cruising through an underwater garden filled with tropical fish: that's exactly what you'll experience during your 45-minute dive. The submarine first stops at 25 meters for a colorful display of corals and reef fish, then continues to 40 meters where — depending on the current — it will be beached on a sandy spot just beside a large cave. White Tip Reef Sharks and Napoleons are sighted here on occasion. Pickup boat departs from Vilingili Ferry Terminal, near IGMH hospital, Malé. The whole tour takes under 3 hours and ends right where it started.

Our most loved day out. We start at the Coral Garden for snorkeling, then head to a pristine sandbank for sunbathing and photos in the middle of the turquoise. After that we journey to a Local Island to discover the culture, traditions and people of the Maldives, and have buffet lunch at a local restaurant. We finish with a Dolphin Cruise where you'll witness pods of playful spinner dolphins surfing alongside the boat.

If you haven't scuba dived before, this is the path for you. Learn the essential skills and techniques while you get ready for the exploration of the underwater world. Our professional instructors take you on an unforgettable journey into the Maldivian reef. If you would like the moment to be captured, we can arrange a photo shoot session for you on request.
