DIVE BANDOS

Located at Bandos Island Resort, Dive Bandos is one of the longest established dive centers in the Maldives. The spacious dive center features air-conditioned classrooms, a library, spacious storage rooms, hot water showers and an in-house service shop. Rental equipment includes gear by Mares, Scubapro, Aqua Lung, Dive Rite, Suunto and more.

Dive Bandos operates a fleet of 4 spacious fiberglass dhonis, all equipped with life vests, first aid equipment, DAN oxygen kits and radios that enable communication with the dive center and the island. Thanks to its central location in the southern part of North Male' Atoll, Dive Bandos can offer a variety of over 40 different dive sites including such highlights as Banana Reef, Paradise Rock, Barracuda Giri, Victory Wreck, Rainbow Giri, Lion’s Head and Old Shark Point, as well as seasonal manta dives like Lankan Reef and Furana North from September to December or Boduhithi Thila and Rasfaree from January to April.

Dive Bandos is a member of the PADI International Resort Association, and thus offers a wide range of PADI courses and certifications.

The professional staff will ensure that you experience the lush underwater gardens, colorful fishes and stunning seascapes in total safety. It's still comforting to know though, that in case of emergency, a medical clinic with decompression chamber is located on the island. Not only that, but Bandos Medical has two Medical Doctors, a General Practitioner, a Dive Medical Officer and a nurse on location 24 hours a day.
