… The experience was amazing. … He took us to see turtles, reef sharks, sting rays, and even mantas although it was not the season … also took us very close to some marine life to get good video footage … So if you are looking for a reasonably priced diving holiday in the Maldives, Dhonfanu is definitely the place to go in Baa Atoll. We will be back for Manta season!!

What Farsane Says

We spent a week on Dhonfanu over Christmas and New Year’s and did 10 dives and 2 snorkeling trips with Fehi Velaa Dive. We were among their first customers since they only opened the dive center this summer. The experience was amazing. Hussain, one of the owners, is a wonderful and very experienced dive guide. He took us to see turtles, reef sharks, sting rays, and even mantas although it was not the season in Baa Atoll. We went on a full day boat trip to Raa Atoll to snorkel with mantas and dived at a manta cleaning station. On our last day during a snorkeling trip in the house reef, we saw eight green turtles!! Hussain also took us very close to some marine life to get good video footage and filmed us with turtles with our camera, which makes for a wonderful souvenir. Silke and Andreas, the other owners, a couple from Germany, where also diving with us during our stay. They were very nice and very helpful and gave us a lot of useful information before and during our stay. The boat crew on the dive center’s Dhoni was also very helpful, preparing equipment and assisting us with getting in and out of the water. In between dives they provided us with fresh coconut and hot tea. This is our first time in the Maldives, so we cannot compare this experience with the resorts. However, what’s for sure is that the resorts are too expensive and we would not be willing to spend that kind of money. So if you are looking for a reasonably priced diving holiday in the Maldives, Dhonfanu is definitely the place to go in Baa Atoll. We will be back for Manta season!!

What Verena Says

Our relaxed diving vacation already started at home. The Team of Fehi Velaa Dive was always there to help us with the planning and organized not only transfer, accommodation and food, but even the required PCR tests. Once we arrived in Dhonfanu everything also went smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about anything and the diving made us more than happy. Especially the intense Manta encounters we will never forget. Thank you for the wonderful time. We will definitely come again!

What Michael Says

First of all, we had a really great time. We are quite experienced divers and we have dived many places in the world (850+ dives). But the Maldives are one of our favorite places. We like dive operator with small groups and personal attention. We had the pleasure to be the very first guests of Fehi Velaa Dive. If we got it right, we were even the first western guests ever to stay on Dhonfanu. The team from Fehi Velaa Dive is great. Hussein is a great dive guide with a lot!!! of experience. He makes sure guests get the best diving possible. We like his guiding style a lot. He points out special things to see and he let us dive on our own when it was appropriate. Silke and Andreas are great hosts and although we were the first guests, they had organized everything very well. Since we were the first guests, the restaurant had to get used to us tourists. The same applies to the locals. Curious kids wanted to try out their English on us and the shy kids ran away from us 😉. A funny story was the neighbor (listed on Google as a pet shop) whom I helped attend one of his birds and who then wanted to give me a bird as a present. Especially worth mentioning is the extremely short way to Hanifaru Bay. We were there 3 times and we loved it. The diving in general was great. We saw everything from small nudibranchs to huge Mantas. If you are looking for personal attention, great diving and the flair of an unspoiled local island this is the place for you. This is not the best option if you are looking for a high level 5 star resort and an extensive nightlife. We will remember this special trip as a real highlight which is hard to top. We will definitely come back.
