Diving
At about 25 meters from the beach you will find a nice house reef. It is the place to go snorkeling. Beautiful corals and a lot of fish can be seen. But for those who want to see more, in the near distance of the hotel you will find a fully equipped diving base. For those of you who have been on Embudu Village, Wolfgang Brakx owns this diving base too.
The diving base offers resorts courses, PADI Open Water courses and of course Advanced Courses too. As the intructors know the area very well, they will escort you on the boat trips to the most beautiful dive spots. And as the region is not too crowded yet, every dive will be a new adventure. Everything you ever dreamt of, can be seen.
Diving in Addoo Atoll
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Divers who expect an abundance of reef fish may be disappointed with Addoo Atoll. But those who want to see wrecks, large manta rays, Sharks, turtles and generally big fish all year around, well be delighted with the diving. There are four kandus in the atoll: Gan kandu, Viligili Kandu, Maa Kandu and Kuda Kandu.
- Currents are generally not as strong as in the other atolls so the channels can be dived at the most times. Depths inside the atoll average around 35 meters but it reaches a maximum of 75 meters in the middle.
Gan Inside

Gan Inside is an ideal beginners dive near the eastern end of the airport runway. Towards the outside of Gan Kandu, there is a small wall starting at five meters. Further inside the channel the reef drops to 14 meters. In those sandy bottom you find very often stingrays and eagle rays.
