Diving is possible all year round, with the best months being March / April / May and September / October / November when seas are calmest, the visibility can be over 30 meters and water temperatures reach 29 C° to 34 C°. We recommend a 3mm shortly wetsuit for all diving activities. Sites vary in depth from 2 to 30 meters (by the Maldivian law, diving below 30m is prohibited) and provide conditions for divers of all abilities. There are delicate coral reefs, impressive granite formations, schools of fish and an assortment of wreck dives. The offshore dive sites are suitable for more experienced divers with the chance to encounter the larger visitors including whale sharks and manta rays.

Visitors to the Addu can hardly be expected to stay dry and going diving is the very best thing to do while here. If you have never dived before or want to update your diving certificates, this has to be one of the best places to do it. There are only a handful of diving operators in the Addu Atoll and these all are fully equipped diving shops. The “diver land” is fully affiliated with PADI, NAUI, SSI and CMAS and employs PADI, NAUI, SSI or CMAS diving instructors. So you can be assured of finding trained and well-qualified professional diving instructors.
