Our Story

Maldivers (literally combining the words “Maldivian, Divers”) was a diving club started in the early 90’s by a group of enthusiasts of the sea. Know Our Story : 

This group of youth included divers, snorkelers and environmentalists and naturalists who had a love for the sea and the environment. Maldivers club started carrying out awareness and educational programs for the youth and the society; about the fragile environment and the delicate flora and fauna, on which our lives were and are very much dependent upon here in the Maldives. We also helped the Maldivian government in making laws and regulations regarding diving in the Maldives, and have assisted environmental and underwater researchers.

The initial members of the Maldivers diving club were; Athif Jameel, Ahmed Nazim, Hussain Shareef, Mohamed Hashim, Mohamed Fayaz, Mohamed Haleem and Musthag Hussain. With over thirty years of experience, (which is from the beginning of diving in the Maldives) Musthag Hussein established the Maldivers Diving Centre in the year 2000. The dive centre offered PADI certified dive courses to everyone.

Maldivers Diving Centre works with the policy that anybody who comes to dive, with us, shall be treated as a friend rather than just a customer. It is also one of our aims to make sure there is a surplus of capable and trained youth to support the dive tourism industry. We at Maldivers Diving Centre have and are changing lives for the better, of a lot of the local community, including expatriates and tourists. Being able to dive gives the divers a chance to be able to see first-hand, the flora and fauna that make up the delicate environment, which we must protect.

It is the hope and an aim of Maldivers Diving Centre to create greater awareness on environmental issues, especially related to the Maldives islands, amongst the community.

As protecting the natural environment is something we are passionate about, this passion transcended from the old dive club to the dive centre. We have been conducting shore and underwater clean-ups, and awareness programs since beginning the operation with the help of the local dive community and environmental enthusiasts.
