Diving from OBLU Xperience

OBLU's partner dive centre, Koamas Dive, is one of the best in the country. Their friendly international team leads all kinds of underwater adventures and offers diver-friendly facilities like comfortable custom dive boats, free nitrox, and well-maintained rental equipment. New divers will love their highly professional PADI instructors and relaxed experiences on the island's house reef. If you're up for more adventure, some of North Male Atoll's best dive sites are just a short boat ride away. Koamas Dive also offers camera rental and instruction, photo and video packages, and modern facilities for personal camera equipment.

North Male Atoll is a classic Maldivian diving destination, known for its plummeting channels, current-swept corners, walls, and thilas. But don't worry, it has plenty of calm lagoons and protected coral sanctuaries as well. Every year between May and October, the atoll also becomes a hotspot for reef manta rays. Plan your visit during these months for a chance to swim alongside these massive ocean acrobats.
