DIVE SITES - DIVE WITH MANTAS ALL YEAR AROUND

Raa Atoll is one of the northernmost resort atolls of the Maldives. Here we offer daily boat dives, with one tank or two tank possibilities. The pristine reefs of Raa Atoll are still in a great condition. We were the only diving island in this atoll for many years and now there are still very few. Meaning you get to enjoy these dive sites for yourselves and just with your close diving buddies. Very nice soft corals, huge schools of fish and manta rays can be seen here all year round.

We have the advantage of being able to drive through our island location in the middle of the atoll to the east and west side of the reef, so we can watch manta rays almost all year round. Let yourself be inspired by this pristine underwater world.

THANK YOU FOR NOT TOUCHING 🐢

Even if the turtle is coming very close to you, please dont touch 🙏The creature might feel discomfort with our touch.
A single touch can cause mental stress to marine creatures that thought does not even cross our minds.

So, what happens at last? The cheering and constant petting scares these creatures and makes them anxious. A turtle with this kind of trauma often messes up its upcoming life cycle that is a loss for nature.

🐢Touch Breaks The Biofilm Layer
It might seem that a single touch does not make any difference. But actually, it does.

Sea turtles live in the open ocean and grow a biofilm layer on their body. It protects them from any harmful bacteria and keeps them living an adventurous life.

A single touch breaks the film cell and makes the sea turtles exposed to bacterial attacks and diseases. If a turtle falls sick in the ocean, it might die. The marine turtle population is already going down, and we can not afford to lose even one more of them.
Again, have you ever considered your risk while petting the turtles? They can carry germs and bacteria, which might harm you later.

🐢Not Fully Safe
Marine turtles seem shy and tame. Right? Of course, they prefer a solitary life and are not very docile. But do not take them as harmless.

If you disturb these turtles, they might attack you. While diving, you should maintain a safe distance from the turtles. Their sharp jaws, beaks, and heavyweight always work in their favor.

🐢Sea Turtles Are Endangered!
The last and the most important reason.

Sea turtles are endangered species. The marine and wildlife authorities are working together to save these creatures. 
Banning the trade of marine turtles or harassing them is an excellent step to increase the survival chances of these turtles.

🐢If you wish to learn more about turtles and they behaviour join our SSI SEA TURTLE ECOLOGY PROGRAM  

Also  join our newsletter, we will talk about it very soon!

Absolutely incredible !!! A huge thank you to all the team for your care , support, tips , kindness through the begining of our diving adventure. A special thank you to Dasha and Shakoor for looking after us with your kindness and expertise , I had some anxiety with the deep blue and even the vegetarian sharks to start with and I can honestly say that thanks to you both , I am now very comfortable with either. More to learn and I can not wait but it is your voices that will always resonate in my ear for all my future dives!!! Thank you for being amazing !! Hopefully we ll see you again X

Gut geführte Tauchbasis mit professionellen und netten Tauchlehrern und top Equipment. Die 130 Euro für einen Tauchgang (all in) reihen sich in das Preisgefüge des Hotels. Leider wurden wir jeden Tag auf Nitrox-Tauchgänge angesprochen und mussten uns erklären warum wir nicht mit Nitrox tauchen, obwohl meine Tochter erst 6 Tauchhänge hat. Nach dem dritten Tag haben wir dann genervt aufgehört, weil ich die Diskussion nicht mehr führen wollte.

Diese Tauchbasis unter der Leitung von Andy war für uns ein absoluter Glücksfall! Mit ihm und seinem Team macht das Tauchen einfach Spass, weil sie Ruhe und Vertrauen ausstrahlen. Die Vorbereitung der Ausrüstung auf dem Boot - vor dem Start- geschieht ebenfalls in einer ruhigen Atmosphäre. Auch kurz bevor man ins Wasser geht, entsteht keine Hektik. Und die Unterstützung durch die Crew beim Ein- und Ausstieg war ebenfalls Top! Alles in allem haben wir uns bei jedem Tauchgang sehr wohl und sicher gefühlt! Vielen Dank dafür an Andy und sein professionelles Team!
