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 (more…)
Hedda is from Austria, and has previously been to Kuredu to enjoy the snorekling on offer. This year, Hedda came back to Kuredu to fulfill the dream she has had for a long time – to qualify as an Open Water Diver!

This week, led by Ismael and his crew, we organised a special ‘Exploration Full Day’ to see (more…)

Manta Ray Kuredu
Ever wondered what causes a 2 tonne giant ray to propel itself clean out of the water to an incredible 2 meters into the air? Why do Mantas have the name ‘Devil Ray’ when they are one of the ocean’s most majestic and graceful creatures? Did you know that Mantas are being slaughtered across the world’s oceans by large scale fisheries?
Around a year ago, Prodivers teamed up with the Maldivian Manta Ray Research Project, helping them to extend their Manta Ray sighting database and subsequently (more…)
