Dive Bandos

I had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Dive Bandos. The house reef is extraordinary – vibrant, full of life, and more beautiful than anything I have ever seen, even in movies. It was my first diving experience, and I was truly amazed by the underwater world. At one point, I got scared and didn’t want to enter the water anymore. I am deeply grateful to the two instructors who stayed by my side, encouraged me with patience and calm, and didn’t let me give up. Their professionalism, kindness, and constant support helped me overcome my fear and fully enjoy this incredible adventure. Thank you for turning a moment of fear into one of the most beautiful experiences of my life!

This dive centre is fantastic. I took a PADI open water diving course, spread over four days. I needed to have a medical to be certified fit before I was allowed to begin the course. This gave me the confidence that Dive Bandos takes safety seriously. There is a decompression chamber available onsite for emergency treatment in the rare event it’s needed. My instructor Reehan was polite, kind, knowledgeable and patient. He made the experience one I will remember fondly.

A few weeks back I came home from a great holiday at Bandos Maldives. Dive Bandos is one of the oldest school of the Maldives and the professionality supports this. I did 7 dives with them and all of them were GREAT! Manaan helped me with getting the Nitrox course. The briefings of Shivad before every dive were clear and well explained. And after every dive the depth, dive time and air left were noted! All of the crew were very friendly and helpfull! And a special thank you to Emma! She was only a week on the island, but I had the feeling she was already a long time part of this great team! I have done 85 dives up till now in 8 years of diving and Dive Bandos is one of the best teams I have encountered... Long story short: I am really recommending Dive Bandos to dive with!
