!!! Dear friends, colleagues, employees, customers, and partners, !!!

We are closing our dive schools on Filitheyo and Medhufushi effective November 17, 2025.
Lilly and I received on September 17 a notice from our island partner operators, AAA, that they will not renew our contracts and that we must vacate the dive schools on November 17. Our offers to extend the deadline to the end of April to ensure a smooth handover were ignored.
We know that AAA asked our staff whether they would work directly for AAA. The island operators wanted to run the dive schools themselves. Our staff unanimously declined. Furthermore, we were asked by AAA if we would sell our equipment to AAA at a favorable price. We declined this as well.

From this, one can conclude that neither staff nor equipment will be available on the islands after November 16. We have no further information on how diving will proceed on Filitheyo and Medhufushi.
Thus, our paths with AAA, with whom we have worked for 37 years—26 years on Filitheyo and 25 years on Medhufushi—diverge.

I thank all customers, organizers, and staff for their loyalty.
We will continue to operate our great dive school on Bathala, and we are also present at the dive school on Canareef, operated jointly with Diverland.

Lilly und Werner Lau

Welcome to Medhufushi

The beautiful luxury island of Medhufushi is one out of two touristic islands in Meemu Atoll. It is located directly on the outer reef and is characterized by a magnificent lagoon which is ideal for beginner’s training. Of course, the lagoon also offers perfect conditions for swimming, surfing and sailing.

Most of the nearly untouched dive sites are easy to dive and feature a great diversity of corals and fishes. Several spectacular channels, e.g. Mantas & More, count amongst the top ten in the Maldives. Manta rays, whale sharks and countless grey reef sharks are the main entries in our guests’ log books.
