About this center
Award-winning PADI 5 Star IDC on the local island of Fulidhoo in pristine Vaavu Atoll, famous for spectacular night diving with nurse sharks and stingrays.
Fulidhoo Dive is an award-winning PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Centre located on the beautiful local island of Fulidhoo in Vaavu Atoll, just over an hour's speedboat ride from Male International Airport. Vaavu Atoll is one of the least developed atolls in the Maldives, offering pristine diving conditions with healthy reefs and abundant marine life. The center is particularly renowned for its night diving at Alimatha house reef, where divers encounter large aggregations of nurse sharks and stingrays in a spectacular nocturnal feeding show. Strong currents in the atoll channels attract grey reef sharks, eagle rays, and other pelagic species. Fulidhoo Dive offers PADI courses from beginner to instructor level with experienced in-house instructors. The local island setting provides an authentic, budget-friendly Maldivian experience. A minimum 5-night stay is recommended for the best diving experience, with comprehensive dive and accommodation packages available.
