My partner got this diving holiday for me as a 30th birthday present and it is the best gift ever! Both Zero Degree Residence and Fuvahmulah Dive School completed my experience 10/10 in terms of comfort, quality of experience and attentiveness. Let’s go ahead to talk about each point in detail.
1. Comfort - Both accommodation and dive equipment, dive boat, transport are clean and well maintained! The room is much larger and newer/nicer in real life. The bosses and staff from both dive school and residence take pride in each of their roles and have put in loads of effort to make sure everything is well taken care of regularly and too notch for their guests.
2. Quality of Experience - I felt that the staff listens to our needs and concerns to make our experience the best possible it can be. At Fuvahmulah Dive school, Niyaz, Richard, Asaray, Imran, Panda, Jamie and all of the boat crew are amazing at educating us about sharks behaviour, conservation to make us feel extremely safe for all dives and they are great at finding the pelagics. I got to see thresher shark, white tip shark, tiger shark, hawksbill turtle and loads more. I am not particularly good with currents and surprisingly I did not feel stressed out by the current at all despite diving in open oceanic water as the crew is fantastic at finding the spots at the right time to dive and does not make you tire out unnecessarily with current fighting. At Zero Degree Residence, I would like to particularly point out Mohammed, Looth, Mattheen and Mulla! Mohammed is always punctual and ready to drive us around to and for dive school with a smile no matter how late or early it is for him. I can also highly encourage full board as the food is delicious and the ease of convenience of having hot food good size portions ready before and after dives is so convenient and helpful. As we did full board and wanted to change things up with the menu after a few days, the extremely kind, open minded and talented Chef Mulla manage to spin up some super impressive meals that left me wanting more. Lastly the front desk Looth and Mattheen are always greeting us with a smile and has a great attitude, always quick to help us out with any queries or requests.
3. Attentiveness - I have been to well over 10 dive schools and dive accommodation and I can safely say this is by far the best I have stayed in and dived with. Zero Degree Residence is run by a small team of 5-7 but you will be amazed how organised and well run the place is. Everyone knew what they had to do and always available for us to help on our needs and listen to our feedback. It feels very much like a professional hotel, a well oiled machine. Imran in particular helped us with the pre booking entirely down to arranging domestic flights and transfers, super clear communication and prompt responses. Fuvahmulah Dive School dive guides and instructors have these super chill and this down to earth energy that rubs off on us too and made us better divers. My partner did an Open Water Course and Asaray was absolutely GREAT instructor who was patient and gives amazing useful tips after each dive to help him improve and honestly I am even shocked how good and fast my partner became in just a few dives under Asaray guidance. Niyaz and Richard guided me for most of my dives and they were super clear at explaining what to expect during pre dive briefing and really good at calming me down before the shark dives and also super attentive underwater to make sure I am feeling safe and comfortable. They are great to chat with before and after dive about life and deep conversations. I definitely think my diving improved loads from this trip, we did a total of 22 dives with them between my partner and I and each dive is special and enjoyable.
Look no further, start booking now with the amazing coordinator Imran between both the dive school and zero degree residence and he will be able to sort you out end to end. He is amazing at his job! - via
