#1 - Southern Maldives Divers
Southern Maldives Divers is a PADI dive center on the beautiful South Palm Resort Island, on the southernmost atoll of the Maldives.
This PADI diving school is located next to the Sunset Villas in the South Palm Resort and offers diving around the spectacular Addu Atoll. Currents tend to be more manageable here than in other parts of the Maldives, which makes Addu a perfect location for both novice and experienced divers.
Enjoy large manta rays and dive the world famous WWII wreck British Loyalty on the same day. The channels are full of life and big pelagic sightings are not uncommon. Since many of the dive sites are on the outside reefs, visibility tends to be well above 20 meters.
The inside atoll is home to a large dolphin population and these sociable creatures often join the boat rides. With a bit of luck it is even possible to meet them under water. Both hawksbill and large green turtles can be spotted on many dives, both inside and outside the atoll, while Napoleon wrasses of all sizes are plentiful. Last but not least, you can experience the wonder of the annual whale migration in November.
