Diving Information

The SSI/PADI 5-star dive centre has an experienced multilingual team offering basic and advanced courses, try dives and snorkelling option. As with most of the Maldivian islands, the diving is organised as either a non-limit 6 consecutive day house reef package, or a 10-house reef dive package. Boat dives are booked and paid for locally for a supplement of approximately $19 for a 1 dive excursion, $28 for a 2-dive excursion.

For the boat dives, most of the dive sites can be reached within 10 to 45 minutes by boat (Dhoni). The furthest dive spot is around an hour away from Reethi Beach. You can currently visit over 30 dive sites, which are divided into four basic categories: Thilas (shallow points), Outer reefs, Island reefs and Atoll reefs.

The house reef is some 30-100m from shore and lies on a channel that stretches out along the west side of the island. Dive the beautiful reef wall that drops down to 30m, and on the east side there is a vast Thundi (Sand Lagoon) with coral blocks and a couple of artificial surprises. During the southwest monsoon (May-October) you can hope for those magical whale shark encounters, and the northeast monsoon (November-April) brings much clearer waters when visibility is up to 40m.

Due to its diversity and wealth of marine life, the house reef of Reethi Beach is said to be one of the most beautiful house reefs in the Maldives. The regular passing of spinner dolphins, eagle rays, schools of barracudas, batfish and thousands of fusiliers are just some of the highlights. You can also encounter turtles, octopus, lobster, moray eels as well as their black tip and lemon shark families. The reef really comes alive during the evening, with visits from sting rays, guitar sharks and cobias which come right up to the shore at their daily feeding time.
