As a Five Star Golden Palm PADI Dive Center, Banyan Tree offers the full range of PADI and Nitrox courses. We pay individual attention to each guest, so courses and dives are conducted in small groups. Our professional instructors teach in different languages and take great care to create an environment that's truly relaxed. No stress, just pure fun and safe diving!
Many resorts offer "mass diving". Banyan Tree is different - we have set ourselves the mission to create ecological awareness amongst our guests, pursue research in coral growth and pioneer projects supporting marine life. From the beginner's Resort Course to the PADI Open Water Course, you will be taught in great detail about the ocean and its fascinating life.
Imagine - Banyan Tree employs dedicated marine biologists who offer environmental dives and eco-safaris, on which they share their expert knowledge. You will be introduced to the unique Lotus and Turtle Research Projects, which have earned Banyan Tree the prestigious PATA (Pacific Asia Travel Association) Award 2002 for Corporate Environmental Programme. So if you dive with us, you will discover the mysterious creatures of the ocean and leave with a much better understanding of the "Blue Planet".
Fun Activities
If you venture beyond the pampered realm of your villa and the wonderfully slow Maldivian pace of life, you'll find a wealth of recreational diversions. For a start, you can dive or snorkel in the transparent brilliance of the ocean, explore its riches, and go deep-sea or night fishing. After all, this is a paradise renowned for superlative fishing, sailing, diving and snorkeling. If you prefer, sit in the shallow waters and watch the myriad of exotic schools of fish dart in and out of the light.
Enjoy a canoe ride with your partner or let our guide take you both on a leisurely catamaran ride. For more vigorous workouts, head for the resort's health & fitness room. And for the less actively inclined, a ramble around Malé exploring its sights and shopping, or a promenade along the beach are just as rousing. If the sun gets to you, simply retire to breezy Naboli bar for board games or some quiet reading.
