PADI 5 Star Dive Center
South Ari Dive Center is a newly-established PADI Dive Center on Dhangethi Island.
Marine protected coral shallows or challenging pinnacles, steep walls and channels- South Ari Atoll has it all. 2 tank dive trips set off each morning to dive sites between 10 and 40 minutes away.
The dive team offers personalized dive itineraries, and group sizes are kept to a maximum of 3 divers. A full range of PADI recreational training is available, including Project AWARE specialties.
South Ari Dive plan to become the largest database for whale sharks and manta rays in South Ari Atoll by 2035. The new dive center has invested in state of the art equipment, an 18 person air conditioned meeting room, digital classroom and filling station.
A resident marine biologist holds bi-weekly presentations; one on Maldivian marine life and the other to share progress on the whale shark and manta program.
