DELPHIS DIVING CENTER

While Maldives offers some of the best resort facilities and hospitality, the mysteries of this island paradise are beneath the surface. The diving centre at Royal Island offers numerous opportunities for experienced divers and beginners alike to explore the depths of the ocean. Depending on the season, there are instructors who are conversant in Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese. Delphis - Royal Island offers PADI diving courses from beginners to instructor level, at attractive prices.

Learning to dive . . .
The different courses offered at the Delphis Centre assure a calm and easy start in shallow waters. It is essential that guests feel comfortable before moving on to any other exercise. Experience has shown us that anyone who wants to learn to dive, can do so. Guests are welcome to talk to any of the instructors at the Delphis Centre to find a diving course to suit their needs.
Beginners are offered the opportunity of a 15-minute, free scuba diving lesson under the supervision of an instructor. The minimum age for certified diving courses with is 10 years but children from the age of eight years can scuba dive as a PADI Bubblemaker!

Continuing education
All instructors at the Delphis Centre are highly experienced and fully certified, offering PADI and SSI courses in a number of languages. Beginners’ courses are held in small groups of not more than five persons, for safety reasons and to ensure personal attention. Delphis Diving Centre has a policy to keep the diving groups as small as possible, which means that in an average dive the group will consist of maximum six persons within the same level while a night dive is limited to five divers.

Dive with us!
In order to join us twice a day on our diving trips you will first need to make an orientation dive. The instructors will help you with your diving skills, find out how many weights you need and get some idea of your diving abilities. Even divers with certification are welcome to seek our assistance for all your diving needs and we are always ready to extend a helping hand. We offer the top range of diving equipment such as jackets, regulators and marks, which can all be rented from the Delphis Centre.

HOW TO START?
It would be appreciated if guests would give at least a day’s notice of their intention to go diving, or there is the possibility they risk having to wait an extra day. However, it is our promise that we will do what is reasonably possible to accommodate your requests.
