Dive Information
Rasdhoo Dive Overview
Scuba Diving can provide a very relaxing environment where you could indulge in hours of discovery and exploration and be mesmerised by the alien life that inhabits the bottom. For those with an addiction for the rush of adrenalin; there are few things that could parallel the excitement of diving in rushing currents and the thrill of close encounters with the wonderful creatures of the deep, like sharks and rays. Underwater photographers and wildlife enthusiasts would find that the multicoloured reefs are a haven for flora and fauna.
Scuba diving took to the wind in Maldives, in the 70’s, with the establishment of the first tourist’s resorts. Diving became the primary tool of tourist attraction. The virgin waters filled with colourful marine life offer divers a place unlike anywhere else in the world. With more than 98% of Maldives consisting of sea water, we have some of the world’s most beautiful dive sites with an abundance of sea life that is matched by very few other places.
Maldives has sunny weather almost all throughout the year, except for the monsoon rains; although it does not rain continuously for long periods of time. It is ideal conditions for a warm water dive into the underwater realms. Water temperatures tend to remain constant between 27 and 30 Degree Celsius. Another factor in relation to diving is the water currents; which is quite predictable for any experienced diver or seafarer, in the Maldives Drift diving can be an easy way to experience the vast and serene underwater environment of Maldives, as it allows to see more fish life and coral formations than could otherwise be seen. Maldives has protected dive sites and locations and sea life, throughout the archipelago. Diving with consideration of these factors can be a life changing experience that is memorable.

The world-famous manta ray site, Hanifaru Bay is just a short boat ride away.
