It is not unusual to see big schools of fish at Kuda Rah Thila, which is a protected Marine Park, a mere 15 minutes way from Vakarufalhi.
While watching a school of more than 100 jack fish hunting and causing havoc amongst the fusiliers yesterday, we were already blown away by the National Geographic action taking place right in front of us.
100 jacks darting through the water, fusiliers panicking Read the rest of this entry »
Over 100 divers from more than 6 different countries descended on Kuredu in February as Prodivers was host to a number of different diving groups from around the world! With the Carnival in Brazil in full swing and the cold european winter hitting its peak, it was clearly too much for some as they escaped to the warm Indian Ocean and to Kuredu.
Between the 13th and 27th of February, the dive center was buzzing Read the rest of this entry »

A couple of days ago, Yaafis and 7 guests from Kuredu headed out for a relaxing full day of diving. After checking out Fushivaru Thila for the first dive of the day, the group then headed over to the south west corner of the atoll to the island of Dhidhoo. Dhidhoo is a deserted island surrounded Read the rest of this entry »
Dolphin are regularly seen by our divers and snorkelers as they are out and about across the Lhaviyani Atoll, but rarely do we have the chance to swim with them. Danifaru is a spot that boasts countless sightings throughout the year, so it was no surprise when two of our full day trips came across 3 bottle nose dolphins in the shallow water.
Dolphins across the Maldives, whether they be bottle nose or Read the rest of this entry »

During a lunchtime dive this week, Paul, one of our diving instructors, went out for a dive on Bodu Giri, where they stumbled across a rare cuttlefish! Clearly happy with his new found fame, and knowing from Paul’s reaction that he was a rare sighting, the cuttle fish posed for the camera in the shallow water.
Cuttle fish have a parrot like beak and ten arms extending from the front of their bodies. Two of these arms are elongated Read the rest of this entry »
Beautiful soft and hard corals. Incredible fish life. And we didn’t even know these dive sites existed until this week!
Following on from the discovery of AliHa Giri last year, the Marta dhoni crew (Ismael, Easa and Ibrahim) have been busily checking maps and talking to local fishermen in order to help us find out whether there are similar sites hidden away in the atoll. This week, led by Ismael and his crew, we organised a special ‘Exploration Full Day’ to see Read the rest of this entry »
