After a busy high season of collecting footage, our videographer Julia finished PD Production’s newest movie. Surely “A piece of paradise to take away”.
Its story plays between urban flair, island paradise, an extraordinary journey through the world of “moving pictures” and beyond its limits. It shows the best shots from both surface and underwater, including footage from Lhaviyani & Noonu Atoll, it presents the (more…)
After recently hearing stories from the team at Komandoo about Manta Rays at Fushivaru Thila, yesterday we decided to load up a boat and go to see for ourselves, and we were not disappointed…
On the boat trip down we spotted several Mantas’ feeding in Kuda Kandu so everybody grabbed their snorkels and slid in to have a look, after 10 minutes of watching these majestic creatures from the surface, (more…)
Season 4 – Episode 2
Everybody loves Manta Rays and they truly are one of the oceans most graceful, playful, fascinating and beautiful creatures, but there are plenty of other species of rays out there and we meet them almost every day.
Stingrays – black spotted, feather tailed or porcupined – various eaglerays, the ornate eagleray which was discovered in the (more…)
It was the 23rd of August around 8:30 pm when one of the room boys of the 100 bungalow side suddenly stumbled over hatching turtles!
Immediately he informed the hotel and us and of course no one wanted to miss out this special event!

At the beginning of June, Alex from the UK and Simon from Belgium arrived on Kuredu to join our instructor team.
Both are bringing experience with them; Alex used to work in the cold murky waters of the UK, while Simon gained some experience as a Divemaster in Egypt. Alex is especially enjoying the warm temperature of the Indian Ocean after having done so many dives in cold water! (more…)
The diverse topography of our dive sites here in the Maldives is reflected in their different names – many of the sites here are described either as a Giri, a Thila or a Kandu and we have decided to celebrate these in our new T-shirt collection.
A “Giri” ist the local (Dhivehi) word for a shallow underwater island, a “Thila” is a deeper island and a “Kandu” is a channel between two islands. The fronts of our new (more…)
On the 29 of July, four Prodivers staff, Jenna, Swen, Karin and Michael, went on a lunch break dive on the Housereef. While searching for a Halimeda Ghost Pipefish amongst the leaves of the Halimeda algae, Jenna stumbled across a strange moving piece of algae.
At first we all were confused as to what it might have been and the closer we looked the more it resembled a small crab. We took (more…)

After a short break, right in time for the “Monsoon” in Maldives we’re back with Season 4 of “The last 7 Days on Kuredu”.
The rainy season started, the weather might be a bit more “moody” than before and the visibility underwater not as great as in dry season, but with the wind and the currents come the plankton, with the plankton comes the fish and with the fish comes the predator. And for us the weather doesn’t (more…)
