Ideally located on the island of MAALHOS in BAA atoll, close to Hanifaru bay, a natural site listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the MALDIVES PASSIONS dive center welcomes you at its premises on the beach by the lagoon.
Considered one of the most beautiful local islands in Baa atoll, Maalhos has a magnificent lagoon and a coral reef in good health.
Our center is equipped with quality AQUALUNG gear for 25 divers.
We organize three dives a day: a “two tanks” morning, and one dive in the afternoon.
We also offer:
– Nitrox dives
– night dives
– equipment rental
We offer the full range of courses and certifications issued by SSI & PADI, up to DIVEMASTER (PADI) and ASSISTANT INSTRUCTOR (SSI) level.
Our priority is to provide you with quality service, “à la carte” courses, and low instructor/student ratios, to give you optimal learning and safety conditions during your stay.
