Maafushi ScubaResort

Maafushi Scuba is a PADI Resort on Maafushi, a local island in South Malé Atoll, with well-known Maldives dive sites only 15 to 40 minutes away by boat. Island life here feels genuinely Maldivian, with modest guesthouses and plenty to do besides diving.

The dive boat carries up to 18 divers. Courses run from a first try-out up to Divemaster, with children's programs and specialties along the way. Freediving, snorkeling and Emergency First Response are on offer too, all in English.
