Southern Maldives Divers, Hulhumeedhoo Island

This has been the best diving experience of my life. I completed my PADI Advanced Open Water diving course at Southern Maldives divers. This included a Navigation, Deep, Wreck, Night & Drift dive. The Team is absolutely amazing. A very special thanks to the Manager - Appo. My Dive Master - Azzan, Dive Master - Terry, Boat Crew - Saleem & our Skipper - Zuhair. You are truely a 5-Star Team !

We received the ultimate service from Southern Maldives Divers! Myself and my husband only had one full day in Addu but we were treated like royalty by the crew and felt so welcome from the start. We were coming from Fuvahmulah and they organised the ferry for us, picked us up from the dock and took us to their guest house which was very well equipped and beautiful; and even had a secure outside area for us to dry our dive gear. We were then offered a tour of the island, including being taken to some of the local farms where we were gifted some delicious fruit by the very friendly locals! We got wonderful recommendations for places to eat and were given a complimentary scooter which allowed us to explore the island in our own time. The following morning we were picked up and taken to a local café where we got to try a traditional Maldivian breakfast called Masuni – coconut with smoked tuna served with soft roti bread – which was DELICIOUS! Then we were brought to the boat which already had our gear on it and we were off! We were lucky enough to be the only guests that day so we enjoyed a private dive tour and the crew took such great care of us, supplying dry towels and drinking water and helping us with gear. Our first dive was with the magnificent manta rays, after which the captain took us to a huge pod of 50+ spinner dolphins which were all playing around the boat – best surface interval ever!! Our second dive was on the British Loyalty wreck which was another amazing experience and we could hear the dolphins throughout. For lunch we returned to land and were taken for a wonderful traditional Friday home cooked meal before our final dive of the day with so many friendly nurse sharks I lost count! We left the following morning, but not before a final Masuni breakfast with the crew when they gave us a thoughtful gift bag and transported us to the ferry dock to say farewell. We really loved all the crew and wish we could have stayed longer – we will be back to see them for sure! THANK YOU!!
