DivePoint Rannalhi

Very well-equipped dive center under German-speaking management by Marcus Hauck & Team. His own enthusiasm for diving and the fascinating underwater world of the Maldives made him stay in the Maldives in the 1980s. The base in the South Male Atoll is located on the western outer reef with direct access to the house reef.

Family friendly resort, Divepoint Rannalhi is also the best place to learn diving during your vacation . Beautiful & accessible lagoon for all the training & open water dives !

DIVE SITES RANNALHI

South Male Atoll offers many diving highlights in the immediate area. All of our dive spots are within 45 minutes navigation time. There are daily morning and afternoon boat trips to the most beautiful dive sites. For beginners as well as for the “very experienced ones” – we have the possibility to dive at Thilas, where we are able to do easy dives up to a max. depth of 18m and explore fields of anemones, as far as the eye can see. Or let yourself drift with the current through the numerous channels around Rannalhi to encounter surprises like sharks, turtles, dolphins, eagle rays, different stingrays and in summer we have good chances to see manta rays.

The house reef with a maximum depth of about 22 meters is very spacious, perfect for unguided house reef dives as well as guided early morning and night diving.  

“Now we know why we learned to dive – it is simply fantastic here”.

We have compiled an overview of the 30 dive sites in a pdf document.

The spinner shark (Carcharhinus brevipinna) is a type of requiem shark, named for the spinning leaps it makes as a part of its feeding strategy.: while feeding on schools of forage fish, they speed vertically through the school while spinning on their axis, erupting from the water at the end. Crazy, right? 🦈
Wait, until you see them in real life, theyre quite impressive to watch 😍

One of our nursesharks roaming around Rannalhi in all its beauty - did you already meet one of them yourself? 💦🦈🥰
Fun fact:
Nurse sharks usually dont socialize for hunting, but during their resting periods they actually like to snuggle in groups of up to 40 individuals and they dont even mind piling up on top of each other.

Amazing I totally enjoyed the whole experience of my Basic Diver session with instructor Danny and the Dive Point team at Adaaran Club Rannalhi. I was taken through the admin requirements, an introduction to the theory and the required safety drills. I was slightly nervous and excited for entering the water, but I had total confidence in Danny. Having completed the required drills, we started the dive. Once I had settled my breathing, under Danny’s guidance, I relaxed and focussed on the dive. It was amazing to be in the underwater environment enjoying a different perspective to that of snorkelling. I also saw species of fish that were new to me as well as corals and other sea life. We completed safety drills prior to returning to the surface and a bucket list item was finally ticked off after all these years. I felt exhilarated and was eager to do another dive. The opportunity arose the following day to do a Basic Diver Repeater at one of the reefs just off the resort. This involved a boat trip which required sea legs in the choppy conditions. I was looked after by the boat crew, and I was thoroughly briefed by Danny on the additional requirements when launching from a boat and what to expect on the dive. Again, being in the underwater environment was amazing and I relaxed into my breathing under Danny’s ever watchful eye. The coral structures were the main attraction with an abundance of sea life which Danny pointed out while we explored the reef at different depths. We returned to the surface, where we were picked up by the attentive Boat Crew and returned to the resort. I had enjoyed another amazing experience thanks to Danny, the Boat Crew and the whole team at DivePoint Rannalhi. The team were welcoming, helpful, patient, reassuring and shared a healthy sense of humour. I highly recommend trying Scuba Diving. A week later I still have the buzz. Would I do it again? Most definitely! I wish I had done it sooner in life and will plan a diving experience in my future vacations. If you are at Adaaran Club Rannalhi the don’t miss the opportunity for an amazing experience.

Plonger avec des amis C'était notre 2ème voyage à Rannalhi et notre 2ème session de plongée avec l'équipe DivePoint. Une équipe exceptionnelle, un super encadrement. Merci à Mika et Evelyn pour leur écoute, conseil, gentillesse et patience. Nous avons passé de superbes moments avec eux en plongée où nous avons pu voir des tortues, des requins, de magnifiques poissons et des coraux de toutes sortes. "Plonger avec des amis" est un vrai plaisir avec DivePoint Rannalhi. Merci 😍 Nous avons hâte d'y retourner.

Wir hatten im Januar 2024 eine unvergessliche Zeit auf Rannalhi Zum 4. Mal auf Rannalhi bei „Dive with Friends” zum Tauchen. Wir kamen am 12. Januar 24 bei strömenden Regen auf Rannalhi mit dem Speedboot an. – Wer stand am Landungssteg, um uns zu begrüßen? – Anna, Marcus, Ryan – wie schön bekannte Gesichter und liebe Menschen wieder zu sehen. Am nächsten Tag, bei strahlendem Sonnenschein stand unser erster Tauchtag an. Die gute Seele der DivePoint Basis, Ryan kümmerte sich um unser Equipment und brachte unsere komplette Tauchausrüstung aufs Boot. Alam, auf dem neuen Doni, bereitete alles für unsere ersten beiden Bootstauchgänge vor. Mit Meer, unserem Guide tauchten wir ab in die schöne Unterwasserwelt der Malediven. – Wie immer war für jeden von uns ein Highlight dabei. Als Tauchlehrer **, mit über 3000 Tauchgängen, davon mehr als 20 Malediven-Aufenthalten, weiß ich wovon ich spreche. Zurück am Steg, steht Ryan bereit das Tauchgerödel vom Boot zu holen, es auszuwaschen, Anzüge, Westen aufzuhängen und für die nächsten Tauchgänge bereit zu stellen. So hatten wir das „rundum Sorglospaket“ – wir mussten nur Tauchen! Das Team um die Eigentümer Anna und Marcus mit den Basisleitern Evelyn und Mika ist einfach nur als SUPER zu bezeichnen. Freundlichkeit, immer ein offenes Ohr, kein Massentauchen, unterstreicht nachhaltig den Basis-Slogan „Dive with Friends“! Wer unbeschwerte schöne und sichere Tauchgänge machen möchte und dabei noch Haie, Schildkröten, Delfine, Adlerrochen, verschiede Stachelrochen und das übliche „Kleinzeug“ der Malediven sehen möchte, ist auf dieser Basis genau richtig. Wir, Regine >2.600 TG, Rosita >650 TG und ich, Heinz Herbert haben die 14 Tage mehr als genossen und werden spätestens Ostern 2025 mit einer noch größeren Truppe bei Euch wieder Tauchen kommen. Nochmals vielen DANK an das Team „Dive with Friends“. Heinz Herbert

Alles perfekt und immer wieder Wir hatten im Jänner eine unvergessliche Zeit auf Rannalhi. Bei der Ankunft auf der Insel wurden wir schon von Mika begrüßt (dieser bemerkte mein Tauchgepäck). Die Insel war traumhaft und die gemeinsamen Taucherlebnisse mit dem Tauchteam vom DivePoint Rannahli werden mir ewig in Erinnerung bleiben. Es hatte den Anschein nach dem Motto "Urlaub bei Freunden". Danke Evelyn und Mika und dem gesamten Team

Fabulous family diving holiday experience DivePoint Rannalhi is hands down the best dive operation that my husband and I have ever had the pleasure of diving with. All the staff (from the dive office to the instructors to the wonderful boat crew) were amazingly friendly, kind and full of fun and went out of their way to accommodate our family of four divers (2 advanced and 2 brand new). Our two teenage boys (13 and 17) had just done their Openwater course back in Sydney Harbour so it was their first time diving off a boat and with reasonable currents and depths to contend with. Meeka, Danny and Meer went out of their way to make sure that although it was a super fun experience for the boys they also learned to dive safely and focus on managing their buoyancy and depth. We did some amazing dives (the fish life and coral is superb !) and also met some really great divers of all ages from other countries including very experienced divers from Germany who were really supportive of our boys and even shared their dive photos with us. We are so glad we chose the Maldives and DivePoint Rannalhi for our family’s first diving holiday and would highly recommend it to other divers of any age and any level of diving experience. Thanks to the whole DivePoint Rannalhi team for a truly memorable holiday - we are missing our daily dives with you all !

simplemente impresionante increíble lugar, no solo por su belleza natural, sino por el profesionalismo de todo su equipo de trabajo, especialmente NIKITA, tengo experiencia en haber buceado en diferentes lugares, ninguno de los anteriores estan a la altura de esta operadora, muy profesionales, toman muy enserio la seguridad cosa que no sucede habitualmente. El equipo de buceo, instalaciones, personal, simplemente un diez. Vine sorprendido gratamente en ver que hay gente comprometido con el medio ambiente y con los clientes,

Très belle expérience N'étant pas une grande adepte du milieu marin et encore moins sous marin, ce n'était au départ que pour mon mari, mais Mika a su me mettre en confiance et du coup on a fait notre baptême en couple. Super contente et super expérience, n'hésitez pas à y aller.
