Ocean-Pro Dive Center
Ocean-Pro divers can enjoy the variety of 20 local dive sites, suitable for beginners
to more experienced divers. The sites include thrilling thilas, outside reef sites
and channel dives.
We dive all of Rasdhoo Atoll, from North to South and East to West. With only one
other resort nearby, Ocean-Pro divers will generally have the luxury of being the
only divers on site!
In the small Rasdhoo Atoll there is no specific season for the mantas and you have
the chance to see them on various dive sites throughout the year. There is usually
a higher concentration of mantas in the months of December and March. White tip
reef sharks can be seen on almost every dive, and the sighting of grown black tips
is common. Grey reef sharks can be seen at Madivaru Corner and Kuramathi Thila,
the best time being around Feburary. A big highlight is our "Big Blue" where you
have a good chance year-round to see hammerhead sharks!
Experienced divers can dive the house reef independently in buddy teams, guided
dives are available upon request. On the inner West side, we rarely have current.
It is a nice spot for an easygoing night dive, where we have moray eels, a few lobster,
and always present is a big school of barracuda. This site is great for beginners
wishing to dive independently in buddy teams.
At the South side of the island, we have our second House Reef entry point. Easy
going, but a little navigation knowledge might be necessary. Eagle rays can be spotted
there and even black tip reef sharks. There is a big school of jack and batfish
waiting for you right at the jetty. Turtles and octopuses are seen regularly.
The east side of the House Reef is the also outside reef, where divers should be
aware of the current. There is a good chance to see all types of fish: Big napoleon,
eagle rays, white tip and black tip reef sharks, stingrays, octopuses and all types
of juvenile and adult reef fishes.
Our large lagoon is well protected from current and an ideal location for all of
our course training sessions. Usually good visibility prevails and with the house
reef just a few meters away, there is always plenty to see!
