Home to world-class dive sites, including the renowned Kandooma Thila, just five minutes from the island, the resort offers easy access to some of the best underwater experiences in the region.

The Maldives is renowned for its vibrant coral reefs, thrilling drift dives, and diverse marine life, making it a bucket-list destination for scuba enthusiasts. This exclusive package offers daily dives at 15 premier sites, complemented by unique resort benefits to enhance the experience.

The resort’s PADI 5-Star Dive Centre, Kandooma Dive, is fully equipped to cater to divers of all levels. It offers a fleet of dive boats, experienced instructors, and top-of-the-line equipment to allow divers to explore a variety of underwater environments. 

“At Kandooma, we are passionate about sharing the ocean’s wonders, and with this new Dive into Paradise offer, we invite certified divers to explore some of the most spectacular dive sites in the Maldives,” said Mark Eletr, General Manager of Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives.

The Kandooma Dive Centre also offers PADI certification courses for those looking to upgrade their skills and the PADI Bubblemaker programme for young adventurers wanting to take their first breaths underwater in a safe and fun environment.

Located in the South Male Atoll, just 45 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport, Kandooma Maldives is a tropical escape with pristine white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and spacious overwater and beachfront villas. The resort also boasts seven dining venues, a world-class spa, and a range of activities for both divers and non-divers alike.
