We enjoyed our stay in July of 2023 that we came again.
Charley , Leon, Henry, Mussa and the rest of the Joy Dive team were as good as ever (Let's not forget the crew of their dive dhoni "Star 2" who were always on hand to help you out of the water & to don / doff your kit)
Thanks to them and their knowledge of the dive sites I was lucky enough to see Mantas, Turtles & a young octopus at close quarters.
But it's more than that, they also instil in you a respect for the environment that you're diving in.
I can't recommend them highly enough.

My girlfriend and I started our scuba diving journey this December in the Maldives, this was made exceptional by our professional dive instructor Charley. For us Charley's expertise, patience, and passion made this learning experience really enjoyable. Each session was a blend of fun and professionalism, making the experience both educational and exciting.

Charley didn't just teach the technicalities of diving but instilled a profound respect for the oceans and their fragile ecosystem. Joy Dive's commitment to fostering responsible diving was truly inspiring, leaving a lasting impression on us.

Obtaining our OWD certificates has opened the doors to a world of underwater wonders! We were super lucky to see turtles, sharks, manta and sting rays across our dives.

For anyone seeking an instructor who goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Charley. It was a pleasure to learn from someone truly dedicated to sharing their passion and knowledge of the underwater world.

Thank you!

Managed by Charley & Leon their operation is excellent.
As a more 'senior' diver I felt 100% comfortable with them and their extended team of DI's & ably assisted by their knowledgeable boat crew
There are some fantastic locations and I look forward to diving with them again

Myself and my boyfriend came to Safari Island for a holiday and for him to do the diving course. All the staff at the Joy Dive centre were amazing! Every single person was very polite and patient with beginners. Leon and Nicola from the Dive Centre are such lovely people and were an absolute pleasure to be around whilst learning to dive! Can not recommend them all enough. An absolute 5* service and an experience we won’t forget.

German-run, very professional scuba-diving school, close to many really nice diving spots on the Ari Atoll.

Thanks also to Alex for his patience and „buddy-support“.

Top Divebase. I enjoyed my stay very much and felt at home. Did some speciality certificates with Michael and liked very much the precise, methodical explanations and education he and all the others gave me for the specialities. All the employees are very friendly. You put your gear into the box, and it gets transported to the boat and assembled for you. This is very luxury Service as you just can enjoy your time for diving. I just miss sometimes rigging my BCD to the tank as i like tweaking and tuning my gear. Briefings were spot on, the diveguides had a good eye for the neat little things you easy can miss. Thanks for the good week!

I went diving during my stay at Safari Island Resort. I only took one dive around house reef. And as a very beginner in scuba diving, diving in Maldives would be definitely the great experience with excitement. But the Dive Instructor, Alex, who leaded me is very nice and very kind. He tool care of me and the another diver really nice that made me really felt safe and comfortable diving with him. :) Thank you a lot, Alex!
