Discover Maldives: Exploring Deep Wall Dives

Maldives overview

Shakeeb Ibrahim, Dive Centre Manager and Dive Instructor at COMO Maalifushi, has been working in the diving industry for over 20 years. A Maldivian native, he grew up in and around the water. “In the Maldives, childhood is spent in the water,” he says. “So diving is not a new thing for me.” Before scuba, there was free diving — often to depths of around 20 metres — which made the transition to scuba feel natural rather than intimidating, with wall diving one of Ibrahim’s favourite ways to explore the ocean.

• “So diving is not a new thing for me.” Before scuba, there was free diving — often to depths of around 20 metres — which made the transition to scuba feel natural rather than intimidating, with wall diving one of Ibrahim’s favourite ways to explore the ocean.
• In the Maldives, wall diving refers to long outer-reef dives rather than sheer vertical drops.
• “It’s like a long, long reef dive,” says Ibrahim.
• Typically, dives begin at around four or five metres and slope down to 25 or 30 metres, with some sections plunging far deeper.
• The added depth brings a new layer of exposure to the scuba experience; it’s very different to diving within the lagoons of the Thaa Atoll.
• “The outer reef is connected with the deep ocean,” Ibrahim says.
• Visibility is often better than inside the lagoon, and the scale of marine life shifts dramatically.
