  - shortest dive 26 min
  - no fresh water to dring on the boat for 3 days, since no one is taking care of things
  - one shover broken & 19 divers on the boat + staff
  - dangerous slippery wooden steps when you go on lower deck
  - made 21 dives on 5 dive sites ONLY
  - they have tiger sharks because they are feeding them with leftovers from thefish market
  - no respect for MALDIVIAN DIVE REGULATIONS

  I was diving with this dive center in January. This is the worst, most unprofessional, greedy and dangerous behaving dive center I have ever experienced in my whole life. Especially the one guy on the desk, who is sitting on the right side of the main (glass) door, is very unfriendly and rude. They are unbelievably overpriced for what they offer and are not willing to refund anything if you already prepaid your dives as many customers are forced to do it due to their unclear webpage.
  There is no clear briefing on the boat at all. Equipment is not working well and the stuff on the boat doesn't believe you or refuse to change it if you request them to do so.
  Once you are in the water, you are on your own because nobody is taking care of you. There is sometimes only one dive guide for 10 divers. And some beginners had really heart beating problems after they came up because mostly they jump into the water and descend down to 35 or 40 meters. There is so much more to write here, but I can just recommend you to not join them.
  Anyway, as you can see below (how they respond to each negative review), they will answer soon and say that I was never a customer of them. Whitewashing methods..

  I would first like to begin this review by admitting it is not in my nature to compose such, even after having experienced firsthand; some negative instances. However because of the seriousness of the matter; I feel obligated to write this review, as right is right and wrong is wrong!
  The company this review refers to (in case by chance it is somehow or someway omitted; in the same nature as was their attempt to assess me additional monies on account of their inconsistency with both their promotions and confirmation emails). Side note there however, the name of the company is "Fuvahmulah Dive Maldives." Unfortunately they proved unprofessional, confrontational, unbelievable, inconsistent, greedy, and more important; dangerous to the newcomer or less experienced diver(s).
  A brief synapsis:
  75% of my monies were paid upfront and when they attempted providing my person with an invoice assessing more so for "tiger shark," which was supposed to be included provided I paid first for, "21+dives"--which I had done so. When I obviously refused paying the additional fee, (because I had their confirmation email depicting the deal after 21 dives), and told them they could have their people contact my attorney; representatives from the company only then, left well enough alone--no more trying to collect payment.
  To the best of my knowledge, no monies were either refunded or credited towards future dives--even if a guest had provided extenuating circumstances to "Fuvahmulah Dive Maldives" employees.
  There was no "briefing," no guide after in the water in eye's view---this is insanely dangerous! Second, in my experience a typical dive is anywhere from 45-60 minutes and you are permitted to than, "blue!" On more than one occasion, we dove for 20 minutes--tops! I recall how very frustrated and disappointed I was with the vast amount of blue waters, and time allotted (for at least 2 dives); that I was neither able to snap a picture, nor see a fish!! Again, right is right and wrong is wrong; and as a result; this review!
  I have had the opportunity to travel and dive throughout the world. Rarely (as compared to children); do I pick a "favorite!" Although today it is unfortunate I am able to admit which place is my least favorite and that I would never recommend; that being the above company discussed, "Fuvahmulah Dive;" especially resulting from how dangerous they represented themselves during the week of January 23-January 30.

  The top show in town, well run operation in occasionally challenging conditions. Great effort by the dive masters, all competent, friendly with Idhu having particularly pleasant conduct. Didn't have the best of luck with pelagics, lacking stronger currents, but Tigers were there, as always.
