Diving:
Kihaad Maldives offers the unique opportunity to discover the incredible Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and experience Hanifaru Bay, one of the most famous marine reserves in the world. Located right on the doorstep, Hanifaru Bay is a haven for divers and snorkellers alike, featuring breath-taking and enchanting marine life where sharks, mantas, turtles and even whale sharks are spotted on a regular basis.

Kihaad Diving Centre exclusively follows the P.A.D.I. system (Professional Association of Diving Instructors). The PADI system of diver education is based on progressive training that introduces skills, information on safety and local environmental knowledge. PADI courses are student-centred and provide for maximum practice and application. Students learn the basics through self-study and then they are guided by their instructors. The aim is to bring students into the water as soon as possible and provide them with the education they need to gain confidence in the techniques of diving. Kihaad Dive Centre exclusively uses CRESSI equipment.

Hanifaru: A long reef surrounded by sand. The upper part of this thila is about 3-5m deep while the bottom is up to 30m. It's a great place for drift diving. Divers can explore and follow the current in the creeks where they encounter schools of bat fish that are the focal point of this site. Towards the end of the dive you reach the coral blocks where you can meet turtles. During the manta ray season, schools of glass fish also inhabit these coral blocks.

Hanifaru Thila: This is one of the largest thilas in this area and is accompanied by two other smaller thilas (these can be visited, current permitting). The upper part of the small thilas are 23-25 feet deep and the wall of the main thila also extends to 5m from the surface. The strange landscape in these reefs form many bays and beautiful corals grow here. Descending divers will be transported by the current towards the first small thila and then through the second where you can see sharks and stingrays passing. Finally you cross to the main thila where the dive ends.
