Description
LUX* South Ari Atoll is renowned for its rich marine diversity, particularly the presence of whale sharks that gracefully navigate the resort's waters throughout the year. This unique feature attracts adventurers from across the globe who seek an extraordinary encounter with the gentle giants of the Indian Ocean.
The resort boasts a PADI 5-Star dive centre, Euro-Divers LUX* South Ari Atoll, offering a variety of PADI courses. The sheltered lagoon provides an ideal setting for beginners embarking on their inaugural Discover Scuba Diving experience.
For certified divers, an array of approximately 50 captivating dive sites awaits, accessible within 10 to 60 minutes by the resort's spacious traditional Dhoni boat. (Please note that shore dives are not available at the resort and boat fees are mandatory to be paid on site).
Positioned just a brief distance from the famed "Dhigurah channel," celebrated for its Thila dives, the resort is strategically located 10-15 minutes away from the renowned 'Kuda Rah Thila,' the first national marine protected area in the Maldives, showcasing stunning corals and teeming with thousands of blue-lined snappers.
Adventurous divers can enhance their experience by incorporating an underwater scooter (DPV) into their dives. With guidance from their instructor, divers can explore a more extensive area while conserving air. The DPV promises a blend of enjoyment and ease of handling, making it an ideal choice for navigating the Thilas in the Dhigurah channel.
The resort offers morning, afternoon, full-day, and night dives, each promising to transport divers to the most breathtaking dive sites in South Ari Atoll, ensuring a series of unforgettable underwater experiences.
A must-not-miss highlight is the FLUORESCENCE NIGHT DIVE, an extraordinary opportunity to witness the underwater world in a completely different light.
NOTE: All dives are classified as "boat dives," and please note that the mandatory "boat fees" are not included in the initial cost. These fees must be settled on-site. Additionally, it's important to mention that house reef dives are not available.
When selecting a dive package, please be aware that the included dives must be completed within a continuous timeframe. You must choose packages with 5, 10, and 15 (individual packages that cannot be shared) or, 30 or 40 dives (small group or family packages that can be shared with up to 4 divers)
