Instructor Diaries – Mike, the heroic group leader

Instructor Diaries Kuredu Maldives

A change of pace as been seen with Mike this last week, as he has moved on from teaching beginner divers and found himself at the head of a boat full of experience.

Last week Mike took on the very different challenges of leading a Finish dive group. When a dive club or group comes to Prodivers they will usually be allocated one instructor to lead them through our wonderful waters and show them what we have to offer. The Aqua World group, consisting of 11 experienced divers had the pleasure of Mike at their helm, who, conditions and will allowing, guided them on 3 dives a day every day for the next week, in both our own Lhaviyani Atoll and the adjacent Noon Atoll. Whilst leading a group is a great way to get to know your guests and spend a lot of time with them (and perhaps more importantly for them to get to know us) there can also be a lot of pressure on the instructors to deliver the dives we know we can experience in these magnificent waters.

Dive Groups Kuredu

The two avid groups that were here in October and Billy’s group who still have a couple of dives ahead of them, have proven that diving on Kuredu is addictive. Cosy Cuddly Divers (CCD), The Woolfies and Billy’s divers did a total of 500 dives over 10 days!

The CCD group were guided and entertained by our instructor Muin who knows the dives sites around Kuredu like the back of his hand so he knew exactly where to take them for relaxing fun dives. Ben, chargé d’affaires for The Woolfies, had a blast himself being able to dive Lhaviyani and Noon’s best sites with a group always ready for action-packed dives. (more…)

Belgium Group Nico

It was mid February when a group of 14 divers from Belgium arrived on Kuredu, excited about the dives they were planning to do during their week. Completing 16 dives, both in the Lhaviyani and Noonu Atoll, they had a great time together with their Instructor Nico.

During their week of diving the group not only had some great encounters with the turtles at Caves, and the grey reef sharks at Orimas Thila and Kuredu Express, but the group also had (more…)

Group Diving Maldives

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 (more…)
