If you enter the Republic of Maldives
and don’t know diving, you
don’t have to worry as there
are several schools of diving in
the Maldives in an effort to make
your stay in the Maldives more exciting
and adventurous. Scuba diving in
the Maldives is the most exciting
water sports recreation. A look
at the fascinating species hidden
beneath the coral garden is a great
experience in bridging the Maldives.
Resorts in the Maldives offer courses
for beginners and several other
advanced courses for specialized
diving. Depending on the location
and size of the resort, these schools
provide various facilities for travelers.
Equipment, facilities and trainers
differ from one diving school to
another. Schools provide diving
dhonis equipped with tanks, compressors,
masks, wetsuits, snorkels, flippers,
diving knives, BCD, regulators with
octopus, dry suits and other diving
equipment. The lagoon with decent
water depths provides an ideal base
for novices. These schools also
offer diving and surfing and water
skiing courses and facilities for
travellers.
All schools diving in the Maldives
have their own dive sites where
they take divers to explore the
world under the water. A diving
instructor of the diving school
offers guidelines for divers. Different
diving courses are offered to women,
men and children. All diving equipment
are monitored and checked periodically
to ensure reliability and safety
standards. Certified PADI courses
are offered for beginners to train
in the field of scuba diving. Most
schools undertake diving in French,
Italian, English, Japanese and other
European languages as the medium
of instruction. It is recommended
to review the language of instruction.
Few schools of scuba diving have
video cameras for the purpose of
capturing images underwater. Schools
also offer night dive courses to
divers. Depending on the size and
location, schools offer air-conditioned
classrooms and storage space for
your diving equipment. A few schools
also offer dive shops where you
can rent or buy diving equipment.
