- Water-sports center
At the end of the paths, at opposite ends of the island, are the water-sports center and the dive center. The water-sports center, comprehensively equipped (including parasailing) and enthusiastically run by a young team, is perfectly placed on a fine, wide beach with a sharply sloping lagoon. The dive center has its own small jetty and is busy with three boats heading out twice a day. This is the most renowned region in the Atoll for diving, with a wide array of different dives sure to please. The popularity sometimes means meeting up with other groups from neighboring resorts or safari boats.

- Half-day fishing
If you want to try real fishing, rest assured that this is the best trip to get started. Just keep in mind that there are several elements to the enjoyment of fishing, waterman ship and knowledge of underwater knowledge, physical condition and use of correct equipment. The best time to drop your hook to catch a bigger fish is early hours of the day when fishes come across the oceans looking for their food in a very hungry mood. Different types of Sharks Blue and Black Marlin, Southern Blue Fin Tuna, Skip Jack and Yellow Fin Tuna, Queensland Spanish Mackerel, Sail Fish, Wahoo and Barracuda are among most catch of the trip. That's not all! You also will be provided BBQ out of your catch, if you catch any.
- Night fishing
Catch a fish before you loose the Sun! The boat captain will take you to a good location where he has experienced good catch. Night fishing is the easiest way of experiencing how to catch fish. Barracudas, Red and White Snappers, Small Tooth Grouper, Blue Fin Jack and Bulls Eyes are among the most catch. Your boat crew will provide you the fishing gear and therefore, you need not carry them with you. Call one of the crews, should you need any assistance on board. Enjoy the BBQ of your own catch! Even if you did not catch any fish, still the BBQ will be provided at 2200hrs on the Sundeck, if the weather permits. Otherwise inside the Coffee Shop.
