diveOceanus Royal IslandResort

diveOceanus Royal Island is a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort in Baa Atoll in the Maldives, inside the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Hanifaru Bay is only about 20 minutes away by boat, and the center runs two boat trips a day.

There is also a house reef you can enter straight from the jetty. The atoll has thilas, channels and coral gardens. Manta rays are seen in good numbers from early June, and whale sharks turn up on dives and snorkeling trips. Freediving and Emergency First Response are offered, in English and Russian.
