90% of the Maldives is water, so don’t miss the oportunity to see underwater world. Glide through coral gardens alive with kaleidoscopic anthias, graceful turtles and, in season, soaring manta rays. From your very first breath underwater to guided dives at Raa Atoll’s most coveted sites, three tiered PADI experiences around Ifuru Island cater to every level. Complete beginners can step into a two-hour Discover Scuba session, moving from lagoon training into a real open water dive with a multilingual instructor at their side. Those ready to take the next step can earn a lifetime PADI Scuba Diver certification across a day and a half – valid worldwide and good for dives up to 12 metres with a dive professional. Certified divers, meanwhile, head straight for the deep cuts of Raa Atoll across three mornings of guided exploration, with reef sharks, turtles and stingrays the regular company on six open water dives.
