We shall carry oxygen on each boat and medical supplies are available in case of an emergency. Our crew is specially trained to assist you if you need medical help. If ever necessary we can reach the decompression unit on Bandos by seaplane within 40 minutes.
Your own diving gear
Your personal diving gear can be stowed at the diving centre. There is a wet room for this purpose which is locked up at night.
Training and diving courses
Barakuda (CMAS), SSI and PADI diving courses are on offer continually. The diving courses take place in small groups (1 diving instructor - 2 participants), thus avoiding stress and ensuring effective training to meet your individual needs.
The course begins with an introductory dive in the shallow waters of the Lagoon (approx. 1.5 metres). Under the wing of a professional intructor the students have plenty of time (approx.1 hour) to get used to the water and learn underwater breathing. At the end of this trial dive the students are divided up into groups for the next day.
The actual training course is split up over three days. The diving students are in the water morning and afternoon. Professional diving instructors will be teaching them in groups of two. The last of the six training sessions (and the highlight of the course for most students) includes diving from a boat.
The theory (ca. 6 hours) will be taught over the three days between 17:30 und 19:30. After successfully completing the final examination the diving student will be presented with an internationally recognised certificate (CMAS *). Alternatively you may choose the PADI training programme (PADI Open Water Diver).
The diving school offers advanced courses up to CMAS gold and PADI Divemaster.We can train and certify you in most specialised diving courses.

Diving area
Spectacular! On the north side it falls to more than 90 meters. 7 entry points, all served with tank shuttle service, make for easy diving on the house reef.
We have already sighted mantas and whale sharks several times right on the house reef. You can go on early morning and night dives whenever you wish. Experienced divers can explore the reef together with their diving partners. It is not compulsory to be accompanied by a diving instructor.
Wrecks on the house reef
Since November 30, 2009, the house reef at Filitheyo Island offers one more attraction. KM AGRO MINA II has been used for many years as fishing boat by AAA and now lies on the North side of Filitheyo Island, its last resting place.
The wreck is in an upright position on the bottom at a maximum depth of 32 meters.
Before sinking the 30 meter vessel we added additional openings to it in order to facilitate the wreck penetration.
Already the first marine life has moved in and not before long the first stingrays and nurse sharks will surely foll...
At the 23th December 2010 were added another wreck to the house reef of Filitheyo. The Koimas I with a length of 34 meters and a width of 8 meters is a little bit larger than the KM Argro MINA II.
The ship is lying at a depth of 21 down to a maximum of 34 meters and can be dived by divers of all levels from house reef entry 5. Greetings from Truck Lagoon.

boat dives
We have 3-4 diving boats (Dhonies) which depart daily at 9.00 and 14.30. The various diving spots can be reached within 5-60mins. We also offer full day trips minimum once a week. These take you to manta locations on the west side of the atoll.
The Dhonies visit 3 or 4 different reefs which vary in difficulty, so there is something for everyone. This gives you the chance to choose the reef which seems most suitable for your personal diving skills.
We are offering around 30 different diving sites. This pristine area and the reefs within it are exclusive to divers from Filitheyo. This is a privilege which cannot be overestimated.
