About this center

German-run PADI/SSI dive center at Angaga resort in South Ari Atoll, with an outstanding house reef and year-round whale shark encounters.

Sub Aqua Dive Center at Angaga Island Resort & Spa is located in the heart of South Ari Atoll, one of the Maldives' most spectacular diving regions. The center benefits from the atoll's incredible biodiversity, with year-round whale shark encounters and regular manta ray sightings. Angaga's house reef is outstanding, offering shore diving with dramatic drop-offs, overhangs, and caves inhabited by turtles, reef sharks, moray eels, and nurse sharks. The center is part of the German Sub Aqua network and provides courses under both PADI and SSI certifications. Daily boat trips reach legendary sites including Broken Rock, Kuda Rah Thila, Rangali Madivaru, and Fish Head. The 25-minute seaplane transfer from Male adds to the sense of adventure. German and English-speaking instructors cater to the resort's predominantly European clientele. Night dives on the house reef reveal Spanish dancer nudibranchs and hunting morays.
