MALDIVE HOLIDAYS


We love the Maldives and have been visiting all different Islands for over 15 years.

Some islands we have stayed on more than once, but we try to choose a different one each year.
We both learnt to dive 6 years ago and did our Padi Open water certification.
We learnt in the UK at Scuba and Outdoor Pursuits in Cannock.

The course was for 6 weeks, 1 theory and 1 practical lesson and a test a week, with lots of revision in between. finishing with 4 Open water dives on the last weekend. A great experience.
Paul went on to do Advanced Open water and Rescue diver, Nitrox, etc, started his Dive master, but did not get round to finishing it yet!!!

The marine life is fantastic and if you are a diver, you must go here.
Snorkeling is the best you can get and most islands have their own house reef.
Each Island has their own dive centre.

Diving is not as cheap as Europe or Egypt, but far better dive sites so worth the money.

Islands we stayed on :-
Baros
Full Moon
Kuredu
Villavaru
Giravaru
Mayaafushi
Kuramathi
Embudu
Fihalhohi
Summer Island
