Scuba

The Baros International Dive Centre is located on a small, luxurious resort called Baros Maldives. The resort exists in total harmony with its natural environment and has the ambience which is pristine and intimate. The Baros International Dive Centre has integrated well with the resort and has built up a reputation during the last 15 years as being a high standard, professional but overall a friendly dive centre.

The Baros Dive Centre offers most of the PADI courses that are available, like the "Discover Scuba Diving" - a one morning or one afternoon lesson/dive where you will get an introduction to scuba diving; the "Scuba Diver" course (a 5 lesson course with certification) ; the "PADI Open Water Diver" course (9 lessons with certification), the "PADI Referral" course up to the "PADI Dive Master" course. Also for children from 8 years and older it is possible to discover the underwater world by doing the "Bubble Maker" course. For course participants all diving equipment is available. Courses are given in English, German, French or Dutch.

Reef Diving

Baros has an excellent house reef (fringed reef) for snorkelling and diving. The easy accessible entry / exit points are no further than 30m from the beach.

Boat Diving

The dive boat is provided by the hotel. Most of the times it is a modern fibreglass dhoni (dhoni = Maldivian boat) especially designed for diving in the Maldivian waters with a powerful 'Perkins' inboard engine.

Diving trips are arranged by the dive centre and the boat departs (provided there are a minimum of 4 persons) twice a day; one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Diving is always in buddy pairs. Guided dives are at no extra cost.

There is no anchoring on drift dives, the divers are dropped in small groups to avoid overcrowding. All dives are limited to a maximum depth of 30 meters (according to Maldivian law) and a maximum of 1 hour duration.

Local Area

The Maldives is a chain of 26 coral atolls south-west of Sri Lanka, extending across the equator in a north-south strip 754km (468mi) long and 118km (73mi) wide. The 1192 low-lying coral islands are so small that dry land makes up less than 4% of the country's total territory. Some islands are uninhabited sandbars while others are several km across and well vegetated. Most of the time the lagoons are a brilliant blue, with amazing coral reefs and abundant marine life. Strict local regulation of fishing and commercial exploitation has kept the marine environment in a near-pristine state, and thus the reefs are a scuba diving and snorkeling wonder world.

Anyone with a mask and snorkel will see butterfly fish, angel fish, parrot fish, rock cod, unicorn fish, trumpet fish, blue-stripe snapper, Moorish idols, oriental sweet-lips and more. Larger life forms, eagerly sought by scuba divers, include sharks, stingrays, manta rays, turtles and dolphins.

Many of the bigger islands look like the picture-perfect, palm-fringed tropical fantasy. The larger, wetter islands have small areas of rainforest. The main crops are limited to sweet potatoes, yams, taro, millet and watermelon, though a few more fertile islands have citrus fruits and pineapples. Daytime temperatures are about 28°C (82°F) all year. The humidity is slightly lower in the dry season but most days there's a cooling sea breeze.
