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.
