• How many dives can I do per day?
  We offer two boat dives per day and approximately 2 night dives per week. In addition, there are opportunities for diving from shore on Kandholhu's amazing house reef. On request we also can organize two-tank-dives.
• How the diving is organised?
  We use a typical Maldivian boat, a “dhoni” for diving. The boat follows the divers during their dive.
• Do I need a wetsuit for diving?
  The water temperature in the Maldives ranges between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius, with the average temperature being 28 degrees. It is fine to do a few dives without a suit, but if you want to dive often, we recommend a 3mm shorty. We do not recommend wetsuits over 5mm as they are very buoyant and you will require too many weights for your dive.
• Do I need a medical certificate for diving?
  Every diver is highly recommended to have a regular medical examination to ensure he/she is fit to dive. When you register to dive with us, one form you will be required to complete and sign will be the RSTC medical self-declaration. You should download this below in your preferred language and read through it. If you can answer all questions with "NO", have no other medical conditions and are  under 65 years of age, then a "Fit To Dive" certificate from a doctor is NOT required. However if you do happen to have to one or more "YES" answers, and/or are 65 years or older,  then you would need to bring a "Fit To Dive without any restrictions" certificate from a doctor.

House reef

• Are all dives boat dives?
  No, we also offer guided dives on the house reef. Boat trips are charged by the Island Management and depend on their pricelist.
• Can I dive with my buddy on the house reef without a guide?
  Because there are sometimes strong currents around the house reef, diving is not always easy there. We offer unguided house reef dives only to Advanced Divers (or equiv.) with minimum 50 logged dives.

• Do you offer beginner courses?
  Yes, there are various options:
  • Discover Scuba Dive – if you just want to try diving once
  • Padi Scuba Diver – allows you to dive to max. 12 m together with an instructor or divemaster
  • Padi Open Water Diver – the “normal“ dive course, allows you to dive to max. 18 m together with another OWD-Diver
• What other courses do you offer?
  please click here
  We offer a range of courses from beginner to divemaster courses as well as specialty-courses from PADI.
  For a rescue-course we need at least two participants, divemaster-courses can be done on request.
• How many days does the Open Water Diver-course (beginner) take?
  The course takes approx. 3 – 4 days.
• I want to do an OWD-course, can I begin to study at home?
  Yes! PADI is a worldwide dive organisation. If you wish to begin reading for your course at home, you can buy a PADi Open Water Book either online or from your local dive school. If you want to do more than reading, some people prefer to do the theory and swimming pool training at home and then do the Open Water dives here in the warm 29°C water surrounded by our spectacular marine life. This is called the referral course.
• Do I have to see a doctor before the course?
  We recommend that everybody who wants to do a course has a proper medical dive-check. Your doctor will issue a “fit for diving” certificate. If you do not have enough time for this, simply check this form:
  If your answer to all the questions is “no“, you are fine to dive if you are 45 years old or less. Anyone over 45 years should bring a "fit for diving" certificate. If you answer “yes” to even one question, we definitely require a medical statement from a doctor declaring that you are fit for diving.

• Can I book dive packages and courses when I arrive on the island?
