Even the most experienced divers experience a unique thrill when diving in the Maldives. Diving in Maldives can be a memorable experience if all precautions are taken for a safe dive. More than 1000 dives are made daily in the Maldives, but the strong security and safety measures taken ensure that accidents are few and far in between.

Currents and Tides

No matter where you are diving, safety always enhances the enjoyment of your dive. An important factor to be considered for a successful dive is the "Strength" and "Direction" of the currents. The tide determines the strength and direction of the currents as well as visibility. Clear waters are brought into the atolls by the rising tide, while the ebbing tide takes away less clear waters.

Ceaseless currents sweep the Maldivian archipelago. Caused by the monsoons, they are usually west to east during the southwest monsoon from May to November east to west during the Northeast monsoon from December to April. But changes in wind directions and tides can offset the influence of the oceanic currents. Strong currents make a dive livelier.

Enjoy a dive with the emphasis on full safety!
