DIVE THE MALDIVES:
Diving is possible all year round as water
temperature stays between 27ฐC and 29ฐC. Except for
the sunbath we don't' have good or bad season for
diving. The boat will change itinerary according to
current and plankton. Visibility is not always good
especially if divers want to observe big fishes such
as Mantas, whale sharks or grey reef sharks,
visibility can also change from one day to another.
Almost every dive is a drift dive and very of ten in
a channel, we jump from the Dhoni at the entry point
then do our dive with the current. At the end of the
dive the Dhoni take us without any need to swim
against the current. Diving is possible all year
round as we do not have a bad season.
On the Dhoni, we have 30 Aluminum cylinders
(DIN/INT) 12 liters, 1 Bauer compressor Mariner 320
l/min., each dive must have its personal equipment
which stay on the Dhoni during the whole safari. We
fill also cylinders on the Dhoni to avoid any
disturbance during that period.
Security equipment: safety kit, 50 liters oxygen
cylinder, recompression chamber on Bandos island.
Insurance : each participant must have its own
insurance, however we recommend and we offer a DAN
diver insurance valid during your stay.
Several itinerary are offered depending on the
season, meteorological conditions and safari's
duration, 1 weeks or 2 weeks. Those are related to
currents and information we have from last dives,
this is to try to guarantee the best possible dives
of the moment. |
