A truly amazing diving experience
I spent a fabulous 12 days diving with the team at DivePoint Rannalhi. Although expecting some rain & rough weather, I had 12 perfect sunny days so the sea was very calm. Visibility varied but overall good to excellent. One of the big attractions is the Manta cleaning station which provided 3 mantas on one occasion with some great photos but none on the other visits - but interesting nosing around the area anywayOverall, plenty of varied fish & nudibranchs to photograph and some testing diving in currents which was super fun.I must highlight the entire DivePoint team who are really good and made my holiday unforgettable. Many, many thanksChris
The diving center team is incredibly professional - truly the best weâve experienced anywhere in the World. We dived with Evelyn, and her attitude, care and approach were absolutely wonderful!! The equipment preparation and support on the boat were top-notch. The offer of more than 50 dive sites is truly impressive. On our next visit, diving here will be an absolute must!

Great people
Best Dive school I've ever been.I,ve been for the fourth time at dive point Rannahli, there's not another dive school in the world offering the same service. Yes and it's true you really dive with friends. The instructors are very nice, you can learn a lot from them , and they make you feel safe. Thank you once again Evelyn, Tom, and Mika I already miss you. Thank you Rayan for always taking care of a safe and good maintained equipment. And of course the boat crew who offers a great service and is very helpful. I can't wait to go back.Melanie
Ich habe mehrere Tauchgänge mit DivePoint Meedhupparu gemacht. Die Organisation der Basis ist in Ordnung, die Briefings waren gut und klar verständlich, und die Tauchplätze selbst sind wirklich sehenswert.
Trotzdem hat mich die allgemeine Atmosphäre der Basis enttäuscht. Der Umgang mit Gästen wirkt eher sachlich und kĂźhl. Was mich besonders gestĂśrt hat: Bereits auf der Bootsfahrt zum allerersten Tauchgang wurde uns erklärt, welche zusätzlichen Kurse wir uns âĂźberlegenâ sollten und wie viel diese kosten wĂźrden. Es wurde nichts aktiv verkauft, aber der Moment war unpassend. Auf dem Weg zum ersten Tauchgang mĂśchte man sich auf das Tauchen freuen und nicht gleich Ăźber neue Ausgaben nachdenken. Das wirkt distanziert und nimmt einem etwas die Leichtigkeit.
Abgesehen davon war die Betreuung in Ordnung, aber eben nicht herzlich. Man merkt wenig Begeisterung oder persĂśnliches Interesse. Im Vergleich zu anderen Tauchbasen auf den Malediven, wo oft eine sehr warme, motivierende Stimmung herrscht, fĂźhlt sich DivePoint eher neutral und technisch an.
Die AusrĂźstung war brauchbar und funktional, ohne besondere Highlights. Die Tauchspots rund um die Insel waren dafĂźr wirklich gut und bieten schĂśne EindrĂźcke.
Fazit:
Die Tauchplätze sind gut und die Abläufe organisatorisch solide, aber die Basis wirkt wenig herzlich und eher distanziert. Wer einfach nur tauchen will, wird zufrieden sein. Wer eine freundliche, begeisterte und einladende Tauchbasis erwartet, wird hier eher enttäuscht.

5 friends dived âWITH FRIENDSâ in November 2025
Diving on Maldives island RannalhiA paradise for underwater adventurersIntroduction:The Maldives is known worldwide as a dream destination for divers: clear water, colorful reefs and a fascinating variety of marine life. The island of Rannalhi in South Male Atoll stands out â not least for its relaxed island life and spectacular diving opportunities. In this article I try to describe what diving on Rannalhi is all about for me.The island of Rannalhi â Briefly presented:Rannalhi impresses with its white sand beaches, lush vegetation and turquoise waters. Adaaran Club Rannalhi Resort offers comfort for those seeking relaxation and active vacationers alike. For divers, the island is a real insider tip â the proximity to fascinating dive sites and the motto of the local dive center âDiving with friendsâ promise unique experiences and a family atmosphere.Dive areas around Rannalhi:The Rannalhi area offers an impressive selection of dive sites for all levels of experience.⢠House reef: Directly accessible from the island, the house reef is ideal for beginners and snorkelers. Here you will regularly encounter colourful schools of coral fish, moray eels, small reef sharks and turtles.⢠Wreck diving: Nearby is a shipwreck that is a paradise for photographers and macro lovers.⢠Kandooma Thila: Those who love the adventure can experience different shark species â especially grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks and eagle rays â up close.⢠Manta Point: Between May and November, groups of manta rays roam here, offering an unforgettable spectacle.Diving center and service: Diving with friendsDirectly on the island there is a professionally run dive centre dedicated to diving with friends. The atmosphere is warm and collegial â here the shared experience is the main focus. Base leaders Evelyn and Mika know every reef âdown to the smallest detailâ and always show us divers something new that we wouldnât discover ourselves. Conclusion:The island of Rannalhi is a real paradise for divers: an impressive underwater world and a diving centre where coexistence is the focus. Whether you are a beginner or a professional â âdiving with friendsâ is not just a slogan, but a lived reality. I was allowed on my 7th. Visit in November 2025, celebrate my 3,500th dive on Rannalhi. We will be back!!!

Perfect friendly service. Highly recommended!
Base managers Mika and Evelyn and their team are just great. Because of you, we were now on the 2. Here we go. Everything is just right here. The kindness and helpfulness cannot be surpassed. You can totally relax when they're there. Manta rays, tons of sharks as well as turtles we could observe. During current dives, Evelyn and Mika feel safe and well briefed. You watch out and see immediately if anything is wrong with the equipment. Underwater, they show everything I wouldn't have noticed. Reyan fills the bottles and arranges for the equipment to be flushed out. The super great boat crew assembles the equipment and allows the equipment to be taken off while still in the water, which is a considerable relief for back problems. The new dive boat is very pleasant with many storage facilities, shower and toilet.

Diving with friends comes true here.
We went to the 2. On Rannalhi, because of the motto that came true here: "Dive with Friends." Mika, Evelyn and their team make every dive an unforgettable experience. You can't feel better looked after and cared for. Very nice is the German/French order: The freshly rinsed diving equipment is stored every day in a crate assigned to the guest, which is then found on the boat. On the boat, the pampering program continues: The buoyancy vest is already attached to the bottle, a sign with the oxygen content of the nitrox filling hangs on it. The briefing is interesting and detailed, the dive groups small and coordinated. The crew of the boat is helpful in docking the equipment and is incredibly attentive and friendly.Underwater the great care then continues, there is so much to see, even tiny little snails and shrimps that I would never discover without a clue. One highlight was the Mantapoint, where we could actually observe two giant Fantas with a span of 4 meters. The current dives were also supervised, finally I manage the buoy shooting to some extent, which I have to thank the patient Mika. The Rannalhi Sea Turtle Identification Project is a great thing, we were allowed to choose the name of a Green Sea Turtle that found its entry as the 204th recorded turtle. Also the coral "reforestation project" on the house reef is a great thing. Thanks for the wonderful time, we are already planning our next diving holiday with and with you.

Wonderful diving vacation with friends
Finally Rannalhi, Island No. 10 on the Maldives in around 20 years. What should we say. Not only a highly qualified and professional team, friendly, helpful and motivated rather diving with friends- like they say. It is so true, from day one we felt welcomed and being at home no warm up needed. The team including everyone was super super super and we enjoyed every day together with them. Under water sharing beautiful moments, over water always a helping hand, good discussions and a lot of fun. No matter what: we will come back đ¤đźđđđŚđĽ° thanks so much for our turtle đ˘ Rajoma đđŤśđź

Diving with friends â and in the very best sense!
We (Michelle & Tim) were in the dive center as a couple and can already anticipate: Those who arrive here come as guests â but leave as friends.And thatâs exactly how it starts: with a fun, warm and completely relaxed check-in at the dive center, which immediately made us feel like weâve landed in the right place.Mika & Evelyn â Master of her profession and Master of the Heart:Base leaders Mika and Evelyn are not only absolutely outstanding dive instructors and dive guides who show underwater things that we didnât even know existed before.

Honeymoon in the Maldives
For my honeymoon I stayed at this property and booked some dives at the Dive Center. I immediately found myself fine because they solved the biggest problem that put my diving in doubt, I forgot my contact lenses... nooooooo!!!. I was found a graduated mask for my problem and I got carried away in my fantastic experience by Mika (who spoke Italian), who after a proper refresh joined me in the Nitrox course, in the experience of a night with blue torches (cool experience) and finally a current dive to see the sharks (breathtaking experience). The overall adventure was more than satisfactory, good equipment, patience and support first and then fantastic places! What about they made me fall in love with the Maldives. I don't know if I will go back but I can definitely confirm to those who are considering going there that it is in very good hands ;-)

Unforgettable hours with manta rays, turtles, moray eels, sharks and beautiful reefs with its inhabitants
Diving without diving license...no problem here!!There is a briefing and the equipment is explained (in shallow water at the diving station).Then it goes to the house reef, which is already very nice!!Already on the first dive I meet shield and shark...and a beautiful colorful underwater world.I was soooo excited and booked 3 more trips (1 hour each). I was always out with Evelyn...a full professional!!She had everything under control (including me).I sometimes forgot she was there and let me glide through the water...Highly recommended the trip to the mantas....an experience I will NEVER forget...You lie on the seabed and the giants float or glide over your head...Evelyn also shows you the beautiful underwater world and you can feel how she loves it...Beautiful coral reefs with their many roommates...What you don't see...She sees it and shows it to you...just beautiful But Evelyn's not alone...Time to say a big THANK YOU to the whole team ...Also to the boat crew...An all around happy package!!I can only recommend this as a snorkeler 100%...you must have done it!!I hope I come back to this island, then I look forward to Evelyn, Mika and the whole team...

Diving in the best hands
We went to Rannalhi for the third time in October because we were already enthusiastic about the dive team of Mika and Evelyn at the first time 4 years agoAt that time my girlfriend had just made her dive certificate and was really the total beginner. She was in good hands with Mika and Evelyn and quickly lost her nervousness before the first dives. The dive trips are well planned and it is taken into account the wishes and abilities of the divers. Besides, you really feel like you're with good friends there. You sit together at the bar in the evening and talk about diving and other things. Dear Divepoint Rannalhiteam stays the way you are and we hope to be able to dive with you again soon. Greetings from Bavaria!
