Where humans fail – nature creates! What worries the sailor, cheers the heart of divers and snorkelers!
Shipwrecks build artificial reefs and in time algae, corals and sponges attach to the hard surface, which provide food and shelter for plenty of fish.

Even though we take safety extremely seriously on all of our islands, sometimes diving related accidents do happen.
Prodivers is pleased to announce that from the start of February, divers will now be able to take out a short term policy to help insure them against any unexpected issues that might arise as a result of a diving accident.
The short term policy is offered by International Diving Assurance, a subsidiary of DAN Europe.
Divers and students at either Kuredu, Komandoo or Vakarufalhi will be able to insure themselves for a single day’s diving, 7 days, or 14 days directly upon registration.

This year, we are pleased to report that the award went to the Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed, for the sterling work in extending the regulations to forbid the fishing of sharks across the whole of the country as well as putting a stop to the export of any shark products.
In addition, Shark Project also took this opportunity to launch a new iPhone / iPad app, dedicated purely to sharks!
The app contains information about over 70 different sharks, together with where they can found around the world, Read the rest of this entry »
