Ocean-Pro Dive Centre
The OCEAN-PRO Dive Team in Meeru welcomes all guests who not only want to enjoy the luxury of the beautiful dive sites around North Male Atoll, but are also looking for something special.
Allow yourself to glide through the deep blue waters of the Indian Ocean discovering the beauty of the aquatic world!
We offer an interesting variety of courses from novice right through to expert courses that are not available everywhere.
We are confident that at least one of these will fulfill your dreams!
Our “Draeger Dolphin Rebreathers” allow almost “bubble free/soundless diving”. Therefore, they are very popular with every budding Underwater Photographer and normal noisy scuba divers. As a Rebreather Diver you can look forward to approaching the fish astonishingly close. Even shy underwater creatures accept all Rebreather Divers as members of their world. Less air consumption, smaller tanks and still more time underwater are further benefits of Rebreather Diving. Breathing warm, moist air puts a stop to a dry throat! We offer “Introductory Rebreather Dives”. You need to be certified as a Nitrox Diver (40 %) and should be able to show a minimum of 14 logged dives. Once you are hooked and enjoy Rebreather Diving, this “Introductory Rebreather Diver Course” can count towards the full course, which takes 2-3 days and includes four dives in total. So why not get really close to Mantas, Sharks and Turtles without the disturbing bubbles and take home some very special memories!!
Beyond that, we offer the whole range of PADI courses from Beginner through to Divemaster level, plus a wide variety of Specialty courses too. For our Nitrox Divers we offer Nitrox 32% for free! Also for our non-diving guests we organize guided snorkel trips by boat five times a week.
With all these underwater activities that we offer you may want to remember this for all time. If so, why not make a photographic diary of your experiences by renting one of our four digital underwater cameras.
You will find a very spacious diving school with all the amenities a diver can ask for. No diver carries their equipment to the diving boat and 6 days non limit diving without visiting a dive site twice is normal.
Meeru is surrounded by a big, beautiful lagoon. There is no typical house reef and so all dives are boat dives. The lagoon is home to a great variety of marine life, with interesting coral formations and colourful fish life in shallow water. It is perfect for snorkelers and for diver training.
Our three classrooms are fully air conditioned and equipped with TV/DVDs and all PADI course materials are available in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish.
All equipment necessary for diving or snorkeling can be rented at the dive centre. The equipment is checked, serviced and replaced regularly insuring that everything is always up to date. The spacious wet room allows individual storage of both rental and personal diving equipment.
We cover most of North Male Atoll with more than 50 dive sites, rated from easy to difficult. They include different reef formations (e.g., Tilas, Giris, Farus), Outside Reefs, Channels and Wrecks. The outside reefs around Meeru are famous for their turtle population and so encounters are literally guaranteed. It is also possible to see Sharks and Manta Rays throughout the year. Our favorite Manta spots from May to December are “Fairy Tale” and “Lankan Manta Point” and from December to April “Bodu Hithi Thila”. These trips are offered as full day or two tank dive excursions.
The average water temperature is 28 degrees Celsius. and the visibility from January to May is about 20m to 50m and from June to December is 15m to 25m.
