… 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!!
