This world-class diving destination offers the opportunity to learn to dive in the clear, protected lagoons at a number of resorts and guesthouses.
There are a number of suitable resorts and guesthouses for those looking to learn to dive. We recommend ERI Maldives due to its proximity to Malé, colourful reefs and professional dive centre.
Learning to dive is easy and it’s fun. Your PADI Open Water course will take four days to complete. In this course, you will learn basic dive theory and master the basic skills needed to be safe and comfortable while exploring the underwater world.
Once you've learnt to dive, there are plenty of world-class sites to explore in the Maldives.
