Dive Activities

You can mouseover the images or view them in our Gallery

Due to Kuredu Prodivers being one of the largest dive centres in the Maldives we are able to offer an unsurpassed variety of diving activities - here are just a few:

House reef diving
We have a beautiful house reef available for you to dive anytime between 9am and 9pm. The reef is marked by a series of buoys making navigation very easy and safe. You will get a guided tour of the house reef during you orientation and many divers choose to go back for a relaxing dive at various times throughout their holiday. The reef consists of big coral blocks from 3 - 5 metres and then a sandy wall down to 22 metres. There is a very nice wreck situated a third of the way along the reef that provides a haven for hunting jack fish, fusiliers  and a school of friendly batfish and, at night, a couple of large napoleons sleep inside. If you let us know in advance we will deliver you tanks to a hut on the jetty so that you can kit up close to the entry point, we will collect your empty tanks after you have finished your dive


Morning and afternoon boats
Every day we have boats going out in the morning and the afternoon for single dives. We try to make sure that you visit a different site each time you dive so that you can see the huge variety of reef types that we have in our atoll. The dives vary from exhilarating drifts along the outer reefs and in the channels, challenging channel crossings and beautiful drop-offs with caves to submerged thilas and giris which are just like aquariums. We have 46 dive sites so there is always something for everyone.


2-Tanks
Leave a little earlier than normal and you can visit two different dive sites in one morning and still make it back in time (hopefully!) for lunch. This is a great way to fit all of your diving in and still have time to spend the afternoons with your non-diving family or to do other activities, another dive - or just be lazy!


Full-days
Spend the whole day out on the boat! Being out for the whole day enables us to visit sites that are beyond the reach of a normal half day boat trip. We usually travel south and do the first dive, then we go to an uninhabited island. We drop the anchor into the sandy lagoon and carry the food above our heads to the island where the boat crew make us a fantastic BBQ lunch. After a couple of hours relaxing and exploring the island we do our second dive before travelling north back to Kuredu. If we are lucky we spot dolphins from the boat during the trip back.


Night dives
There are some spectacular night dive sites very close to Kuredu, join us and experience the reef by night. We see colourful walls covered in coral, hunting moray eels, sleeping turtles and lots more.


Early morning dives
Drag yourself out of bed early and jump in for a dive at sunrise. Watch the reef come to life and be back in time for breakfast.


Rebreather dives
We have two kinds of Rebreathers on offer. Either the Draeger Dolphin Semi-Closed Rebreather, or the Evolution Closed-Circuit Rebreather. If you have your own, it will be ideal if you email us in advance to let us know when you are coming. We usually have enough dive sorb on storage, and we have tanks, but just to be sure we are ready to provide you with all you need. If you do not have your own but are already certified, you can rent the equipment from us at any time and either enjoy diving with your buddy on the Housereef, or you can come on the dive boats with us as well. If you are not certified as a Rebreather diver yet, but would like to learn more about it, we offer intro dives for both systems. If you then still want to learn more about it, we offer courses for both systems as well. You will surely be amazed when you try it. It is a whole different experience of diving. Especially the complete silence of the Closed-Circuit Rebreather gives you an entirely new underwater perspective. Most Marine Life will let you come a lot closer, and you will be able to perceive the sounds of your surroundings very clearly.


Scooter dives
Do you want to add a new dimension to your dives?
For all the activities mentioned above, you could rent an Underwater Scooter as well! We are well equipped with 13 Scooters (11 Apollos and 2 SeaDoos), and offer a Scooter intro dive on the Housereef for those of you that have never tried it before. Afterwards you can go off on your own as a buddy team with 2 Scooters, either on the Housereef, or come along on the dive boat. A channel crossing where you manage to go all the way across will become possible all of a sudden, or you can cruise along a wall and cover much bigger distances. It will be an exciting new experience for you!
