Dive Information
Diving With Fulidhoo Dive
With dive sites for all abilities in the nearby region, this PADI 5* Dive Resort is the perfect choice for new and experienced divers alike. At Fulidhoo Dive and Water Sports, we start the day the best way: with a two-tank dive! Here are the dive options available at Fulidhoo:
Channel Dives
Channels, known as Kandus in the local language, are where the real action is found. All wildlife entering and exiting the atolls swim through these passageways, so expect large pelagic life in abundance.
Night Dives
When life winds down for the day on the surface, things really come alive underwater. Our most popular night dive is to Alimatha, to see dozens of nurse sharks up close. We offer this dive about twice a week - so if you definitely want to do this dive, we recommend you stay for at least 5 nights to avoid disappointment.
Hammerhead Safari
Spotting hammerhead sharks is a real thrill for any diver. Leave before dawn and jump in the blue for a chance to glimpse these bizarre-looking creatures. As the best dive site for hammerheads is quite far away, the best way to do this dive is to hire a speedboat, so Fulidhoo Dive only offer this dive when there is a group of divers to split the speedboat rental cost.
Full Day Trips
Feel like spending the whole day on the water? Fulidhoo Dive can organize a full day of diving with three dives and an island visit.
Fluro Dives
We offer the chance to dive with neon lights to see coral as you've never seen it before! The fluorescent filters light up the reef in neon colors and reveal another side to the habitat.
Drift Dives
Take it slow and go with the flow as you drift along a reef wall and observe the multitude of wildlife that call it home.
