Underwater Habitat created by Sub Oceanic at Hilton Maldives is a unique project under the lead of our Resident Marine Biologist Sam Whiting in cooperation with our Dive Team Leader “Kudo“ who has more than 17 000 dives in the Maldives on his records...

Hulangu Kandu is located in the channel just north of Hilton Maldives Amingiri. The dive site itself sits at the corner of the outer reef. It is an interesting diving spot with changing reef structures.

What seems to be a rather “unspectacular” sandbank reveals itself as a very pretty dive site. Having said that, sandbanks are never really unspectacular in the Maldives but you wouldn’t expect a very pretty wall ranging from 3 to 30 meters when looking at the pristine white sand on top of the reef.

A beautiful hard coral reef right in front of Hilton Maldives Amingri welcomes divers of all levels at depth from 2 to 25 meters. Located in a channel the dive changes its character depending on the prevailing current direction and strength...

It is safe to say that Ahmedbe Thila is more a fish soup than a reef. Starting from 8 meters the reef slope gently down to all sides except towards the ocean. The ocean facing side has a nice drop off to offer. The place was discovered by our Captain Ahmedbe upon spotting a lot of hutting fishes around...

Located just north of Hilton Maldives Amingiri. This dive site is situated in the backdrop of a channel and just east of our dive site Hulangu Kandu. Due to its location strong currents can affect it. The site consists of a thila with three top reefs at 3 meters. The sandy bottom lies at around 20 to 30 meters.

Kudabe Thila is a large Thila with a top reef at 15 meters. The north side drops down in a steep manner until 50 meters and more whereas the south side is more of a steady gradient slope... Its location in the channel can make it tricky to dive from time to time.

The dive site is of round shape and can be defined as a classical Maldivian thila – a submerged pinnacle. The top reef is located at 4 meters which makes it easy to descent to for all experience levels.

Located a 10-minute boat ride north-east of Hilton Maldives Amingiri, Mas Giri is one of our must-see dive sites if you like beautiful marine life. Pretty much all tropical reef fish that are home in the Maldives can be found on Mas Giri.

Sho Plateau was discovered by our boat crew Shominator during a dolphin cruise when he spotted a school of eagle rays crossing the sandy patch of the place and “forced“ our dive instructors to test the place! A unique place on the outside reef with incredible bio diversity and marine life - anything is possible!
