Just got back from 3 days diving with Rasdhoo Dive Club. We took our AOW certification with Yaikko and everything was smooth sailing - from answering all our inquiries over IG, to doing the downpayment for the course, to the actual dives. Yaikko was very patient and professional - his dive site and skills briefings were very easy to understand and straight to the point. He made sure we understood everything and answered all our questions. We felt very safe and taken care of during all 6 dives. The dhoni was spacious, organized and clean. Each dive was a different experience - we saw sharks, manta, eagle rays, barracuda, sea turtles. During dive #5 I let go of our camera and it floated up; by some miracle the boatmen saw it at the surface and saved it for me! Everyone was so friendly and laidback. We would love to go back.

One of the BEST Dive Center ever for me! We came here with my family and it felt like we have found ourself in another family. :)
All the crew member was so nice, kind and so professional.
ALL the dives were well organized from the beginning till the the end.
They have planned and if there was another current direction or stronger one the just planned it again and they did it really fast, you could feel that they know exactly what they are doing. There was NO dive where we have felt unconfortable or unsafe.
For me in a dive the important things are:
- Safety
- Make a plan and dive your plan but if anything happens react fast, good but calm.
- A guide who knows when and where to go to see everything.
- A guide from whom you can learn.
- Proper equipment (Here it was new or close to new and all well maintaned.)
- Friendly staff so you can enjoy every dives, you can relax and have fun.
We had here all the above mentioned and on top of that, I have to share this...
We have 2 children, 6 and 4 years old, so for us diving is not that easy because we cant really dive together with my wife. My brother was with us so we alwas had to do rotations with the kids. Till we have found them... They were so friendly with our kids on the boat, that after 2 dives in rotation we could let them help out with our kids and they were playing with them and looking after them on the boat till we all three had a dive together. (Of course we did this only once per day, but I think it tells everything if they were able to manage this...) From that day our kids wanted to come with us to the boat every day when we had a dive, they really loved and enjoyed it.
We have also made a couple of courses here. (Night dive, Deep Dive, Nitrox...) and they were great just like the dives themselves.
I can only recommend them, I am sure they are the best on the Island to dive with... I hope we can dive with them later on when the kids are older. We will definately come back.
Thanks again for everything Haabe and to your great crew too.

Here's Why Rasdhoo Dive Club is the BEST!
My wife (Advanced Open Water) was extremely hesitant to return to diving after a frightening experience 5 years prior. After seeing all the dive shops in town we decided to explore the possibility of giving it one "last try" (just the two of us). We spoke with the divemaster about our hesitation and soon felt brave enough to schedule 2 dives.
Meeting at the boat the next morning we were given a very thorough review course with particular emphasis on safety. Once in the water, our divemaster, Haabe, took extra time to patiently work with my wife, so she didn’t panic. By the second dive she was ready to dive again (and again)!
The visibility was clear, the water was warm and full of sea life. We saw several mantas, a variety of sharks, eagle rays, tuna, barracuda, turtles, and many different sizes of bright, colorful fish.
The boat, as well as all diving equipment, was well maintained. There was fresh water available, a shower for rinsing off and a toilet.
The divemasters-- Haabe, Naushaad (well known for his idioms), and Captain are local and very personable. Between dives, we enjoyed having coffee at a local café, and learning about the way of life on Rasdhoo.
After 3 days of diving on Rasdhoo we moved to an adjacent island, Kuramathi. We were able to arrange a pick up there to continue with our diving.
What a fantastic experience with Rasdhoo Dive Club and so wonderful getting back into diving again!

Hi,
i believe you don't need to know how to swim, but at the very least, it would be useful to be not scared of the water. :)
