DIVING:
Giraavaru Tourist
Resort is well located with easy access to 20 dive sites. Some
of them are between the most famous dive sites among experienced
scuba divers of the world. The dive school in Giraavaru is operated
by Jutta and Giovanni and is called PLANETA DIVERS. The dive
school offers PADI training and certification.
Diving the Maldivian waters is one of the best underwater experiences
a diver can have. The variety and number of brightly colored
reef fish, Pelagic fish and exotic marine life that populates
the water's depths, are unforgettable, at any level of experience.
There can, however, be no dispute about the beach. A few well-placed
groynes have built up fine beaches on both sides of the island.
The lagoon is lovely and clear for swimming and not too big
for snorkeling at the reef edge. The wider reef also encloses
a larger deeper pool, which is ideal for learning to windsurf.
