Learning to dive in the maldives will guaranteed give you an experience you will never forget. The water is lovely warm and there is colourful fish and marine life everywhere! Doing your initial course from Fulisdhoo, will besides the great marine environement, provide you a professional education, and a good learning experience. Starting slowly, with the skills in shallow water, you will build up step-by-step, to go diving inside the atoll of Vaavu. With THIS package, you have chosen to upgrade to the "Learn to dive + Deep Dive," where an extra day is added to your course. On this extra day, you go and do the PADI Adventure Deep dive together with your instructor. This consists of studying a chapter from the PADI Advanced course, and do an assessment at depth, which should give you the knowlegde and skills to safely conduct a dive at one of the big channel dive sites. Giving you that mindblowing dive that will stick in your memory forever! This is of course optional for you, and it is also down to the instructor to decide, during your course, if you are ready to go dive the big sites.

As well as an abundance of sharks on the outer reefs, Vaavu Atoll is home to a real variety of reef life. On nearly every reef, you'll find everything from huge Napoleon wrasse, eels, tuna, barracuda and jackfish down to the tiny nudibranches. Schools of eagle rays are common on the bigger dive sites as are turtles and sting rays. From May to December there is a chance to see feeding manta rays not far from the island. But keep in mind, there are a difference between diving inside the atoll and outside the atoll. The corals has taken a hit during the recent El Nino, and are not in great shape inside the atoll. If you are not comfortable diving deeper than 18m, you will be diving mostly inside the atoll, and here, the visibility will not be as great as on the outside, and the corals and marine life will be of lesser wow factor.
