The area is famous for its natural beauty, abundant marine life, and some of the best dive sites in the country. Divers can discover walls, vibrant reefs, caves and pinnacles (thilas). The dive sites are full of marine life, including sharks, mantas, rays, turtles, butterflyfish, napoleon wrasse and plenty of unicornfish, lobsters, barracuda and many, many more beautiful reef dwellers. While the north of the Atoll is well explored and busy at times, the southern Lhaviyani Atoll is a diver’s heaven. At most times our guests will be the only divers at a dive site.

MARINE BIOLOGY
The Marine Hub is the launch point for diving into the resort’s passion for the flora and fauna on land and in sea. Delve into our philosophy that places sustainability at its core, experience unique activities including mangrove conservation, go behind the scenes of the resort’s environmental programs, and trail the resort’s nature during the day and see how it transforms at night. Discover underwater conservation with the resort’s coral restoration program, attend marine biology talks, and learn about the turtle and manta ray population that call Lhaviyani Atoll home. Venture into the lagoon with an observation bowl, go snorkelling with a marine biologist or name your own turtle or manta ray.
Our innovative sustainable education and teaching philosophy is mirrored in the Chinese proverb “What I hear I forget; What I see, I remember; What I do I know”. Education is our primary objective and we believe that the best marine wildlife, marine conservation and marine adventure learning comes from a “hands-on” approach to learning. We use observation, interpretation, deduction, collection, research and presentation as outcome-based learning objectives.
