Villa Diving Center at Holiday Island

Villa Diving is a PADI registered dive centre managed by multi-lingual dive professionals (English, Italian, German, French, Japanese, Dhivehi).

We organize dive trips everyday, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Twice a week, we organize also a two tank dive in the morning, and always an afternoon dive.

On demand we also organize night dive.

Morning dive sites can be reached after 40-60 minutes by boat, whereas afternoon dive sites after maximum 25 minutes by boat.

From the island we can reach a dive site, which is a Manta Point, and also a Whale Shark Point, very close to the island.

Dives are done in drift on oceanic reefs or on “thila”, which are a sort of coral towers, very various in depth, the top can be at 5 meters or deeper, or on a wreck or in channels.
