ОТЗЫВЫ
EXCELLENT Based on 107 reviews Posted on Рената ЧVerified Дайвинг. Остров Тодду 👍 Посетила остров Тодду в сентябре 2022 г. В полном восторге 🏝Отдых удался ещё и благодаря инструктору по дайвингу 💙 Погружение с Анатолием прошлом чудесно! Профессионал своего дела! Хороший психолог ) Анатолий, благодарю Вас за красивые и чудесные эмоции. Обязательно вернёмся к Вам на обучение !Posted on Светлана АVerified Diving для всех Отзыв о детском дайвинге, что оказалось абсолютно реально организовать в Thoddoo Diving Center. Полный инструктаж, хорошее оборудование,сопровождение,безопасность, полное доверие - высокий уровень профессионалов! Если хоть один пункт был бы упущен, ребёнка бы не отпустила и сама не пошла..Здесь все сошлось, спасибо Анатолию! Подводный мир - бесконечная красота, жизнь и движение..Описать сложно, нужно видеть. А посмотреть на Мальдивах точно есть на что и на кого) Ещё раз спасибо за этот прекрасный опыт, мой и дочери (11 лет)!Posted on EffieVerified Awesome diving We had four amazing dives in Thoddhoo and the nearby islands, the dive sites are stunning, teeming with all sorts of sea life. Anatolijs and his team were very helpful, skilled and friendly. I appreciate that they checked us out first in an easier dive before we went on to more complicated ones. If you're planning to go try to make arrangements early- the centre can get busy, and yet they dive frequently so there's enough diving opportunity. Overall unforgettable experience, looking forward to visit again!Posted on KaterinaVerified Отличный дайвинг центр на Мальдивах Отличный дайвинг центр, в котором вас с нуля обучат дайвингу и покажут все прелести Индийского океанаPosted on Marco MVerified Amazing relax diving experience In totaal 6 duiken gedaan op meerdere dive sites . Van begin tot het eind relax en goed geregeld. Goede apparatuur en kennis aanwezig. Goed advies over equipment om het duiken tot een ontspannen ervaring te laten worden. Fijne boot crew en mooie duikboot. Kortom een hele goede duikschool om een onvergetelijke ervaring op te doen!Posted on НаталияVerified Первое посещение Мальдив и первое погружение Очень хотелось попробовать поплавать с аквалангом. Решилась! На Тодду! С прекрасным инструктором Анатолием. Анатолий - настоящий профессионал своего дела: подробный инструктаж, отличное снаряжение и техническая подготовка погружения. Человек с прекрасным чувством юмора и постоянной улыбкой на лице и в глазах! При погружении и после (особенно впервые) взрослый человек получает самые восторженные, совершенно новые впечатления и ощущения при знакомстве с ранее недоступным подводным миром. Спасибо огромное Анатолию! С его помощью я осуществила свою давнюю мечту.Posted on Kaktuz2004Verified Вот я и стал дайвмастером!!!! Впервые попробовал дайвинг здесь, наТодду, под чутким руководством Анатолия в апреле 2017 года. Далее были две поездки сюда же, получил сертификаты ow и aow, затем rescue. И вот свершилось. Прилетел в ноябре 2019 года, три недели, и я дайвмастер! Толь. Спасибо тебе огромное что открыл для меня этот чудесный мир! Ты мой друг, наставник и вообще наш Вождь❤️🙏Posted on manfredwalsVerified perfektes Tauchen Es wird einem jeder Wunsch von den Lippen abgelesen. Kein Wunsch bleibt unerfüllt und das Riff um Thoddoo ist noch super intakt. Rashdoo ist sowieso immer einen Bootsausflug wert. Kann diese Basis nur weiterempfehlen. Die Guids sind alles super professionell und lieben ihre Arbeit.Posted on Alex_ZernovVerified Extremely exciting We had several diving sessions. Each of them was a great. We observed underwater life: turtles, sharks, stingrays, millions of fishes, we were lucky to meet whale shark. Pro Dive team is very professional and they have all neccessary equipment. We have kid of 10 years old with us and Anatoliy (Pro Dive Boss) made our experience and journey easy and memorable. Highly reccomendPosted on mariovmusicVerified Great diving, an amazing dive shop, and more! Just came back from a stay in Thoddoo. I was looking for some nice diving, and I ended up connecting with Anatolijs, who runs the Pro Dive Hydrotech dive shop. He made the entire trip so easy for me - he basically took care of not just the diving, but also my speedboat transfers to/from Thoddoo, and my lodging. I don't know how he does it, but he responds really quickly via Whatsapp. And this personal attention continued once I was on the island. He is very personable, a great storyteller, and an amazing divemaster. Had five great dives with Anatolijs. He and his staff make it a very enjoyable, non-rushed experience, with great equipment, excellent service and - of course - amazing diving. We saw manta rays (incredible!), sea turtles, sharks, moray eels, barracudas, 1,000 of fish, stingrays and more. Just really nice diving. Water is warm, coral is beautiful. In short, if you want to have a great diving experience, you have come to the right place!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Incredible experience with true professionals. As a beginner, I felt completely safe and supported – especially thanks to Alexey, who had the calmest, most reassuring presence. He stayed by my side the whole time, kept checking if I was okay, and made me feel 100% comfortable underwater.
If you're considering diving – this is the place. Kind, professional, and absolutely trustworthy. Highly recommended!

The sharks were worse, there were about 15 people and only 1 shark, which, due to the large number of people, you couldn’t swim with normally.
Another downside is that I had to wait 5 days for the excursion, since they told me that “You are not leaving the island yet, so you can go later.”
They also charged me extra money for filming with a drone (Gopro is included in the price of the excursion), but they never sent me a single video from the excursion; they read the telegram message, but did not respond.

Alexey converted my existing PADI dives into SSI and helped obtain two specialisations which means I now can dive with both PADI and SSI around the world.
The diving centre also adjusted the equipment for me (as I am heavy breather, I was given 15l steel instead of 12l aluminium cylinder), after that change I was able to not to run out of air first of the group and had the longest and chillest dive out of thirteen I've had so far.
Aside from the diving, I was able to exchange USD to local currency with a god exchange rate here.
I definitely recommend this diving centre.

the kindest human attitude. Like a teapot, the scariest thing for me was to scuba dive into the water. The main thing is to overcome fear, then just enjoy the beauty of the ocean. The instructor is in complete control of everything, emergency situations are excluded. If you are deciding whether you need it or not, then you definitely should! The guys are very experienced and will not disappoint you!

An unforgettable first diving experience on Thoddu with instructor Alexander
Our first dive was truly magical! That day was my husband’s birthday, and we decided to celebrate it in a special way - by going diving with instructor Alexander.
From the very beginning he impressed us as a true professional. Before the dive, we met in the office, where he gave a very detailed and clear instruction. Alexander explained every action before the dive, which immediately created a feeling of comfort, safety and trust. Thanks to this, I felt confident, even despite a little fear of diving.
We were given high-quality equipment: a mask, fins and a suit, and then we went on an exciting underwater journey. When we reached the bottom, I was overcome with a feeling of delight! Despite the excitement, I felt surprisingly calm, because the instructor was nearby and controlled the entire process.
But the most unusual and memorable thing is drinking a bottle of champagne under water! It was just incredibly fun and impressive. We were also incredibly lucky: we saw a shark, a manta ray and other amazing ocean inhabitants.
Special thanks to photographer Mikhail (a young guy) who was with us during the dive. He took amazing shots, especially bottom-up shots from the seabed where we seemed to be floating in the water. The photographs turned out to be atmospheric, beautiful and very high quality - a real underwater masterpiece!
The entire experience - from start to finish - was perfectly organized. It was fun, comfortable and absolutely safe. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience and cool photos as a souvenir, then be sure to try diving on Thodda with Alexander and Mikhail!
I recommend it to everyone!

До начала погружения инструктаж на суше, далее инструктаж на лодке - объяснения, все подробно и еще раз, если ты не понял) было небольшое волнение, но как сказал Александр: волнуется в семье кто-то один) и на лодке в нашей семье- это он)
Комфортная атмосфера от и до, прекрасные люди, Саша Шикун, спасибо еще раз за эмоции!

Universal gratitude to Alexander for his amazing experience, professionalism, sensitivity, care, attentiveness, humor and unforgettable emotions for life from what he saw underwater - this is a fantastic immersion into another magical world, full of miracles and bright discoveries!🤩
The Maldives is one of the best places in the world for diving and the presence of a nearby reef on Thoddoo is a huge bonus, which makes the dive as top-notch and comfortable as possible!
At first there is a little fear mixed with excitement and anticipation when you put on your equipment and dive into the water, and then the real magic begins when Sasha accompanies and guides you through the best underwater locations: the brightest corals of all shapes and shades bloom around you🪻😍🌸, like underwater gardens filled with rich life🤩, how abundantly rich it is here reef!🪸It’s hard to believe that this is reality, it feels like you’re in a fairy tale processed with computer graphics, I didn’t even know that such a bright palette 🎨 of colors existed!😍
You feel how time slows down and all thoughts disappear, leaving only the feeling of the present moment. Schools of cosmic colors of fish swim past - from tiny to majestic, and then you observe a pair of unrealistically large octopuses in love🐙🥰😇, it’s sooooo sentimental💞, their grace and instantly changing color is incredibly hypnotizing❣️.
Seeing huge turtles🐢, gigantic stingrays, several large families of lobsters 🦞, the most beautiful and deadly lionfish 🐡, an elegant leopard moray eel, meeting sharks🦈 face to face is delight and awe at the same time🩵.
My life will never be the same!💜
You realize how huge and mysterious the ocean is, you feel like a part of it, so small and significant at the same time💙.
Returning to the surface with emotions: “How will I live further?! Bring me back!”, I am filled with overwhelming happiness and the desire to immerse myself again in this magical world of abundance❤️🔥.
This is not just an experience, it is a revelation that will stay with me forever❤️.
I have tears flowing non-stop from seeing the abundant underwater beauty with my own eyes!👌
Alexander, thank you immensely!🙏

I had a long-standing desire to try diving, but wild fear (of depths, etc.) always got in the way. Arriving in the Maldives (Thoddoo Island), we came to Thoddoo Diving Center and were met by instructor Alexander. We discussed everything with the instructor and agreed. And then day X came. On the way to the diving center, I wanted to turn back many times out of fear)))))). We got there)))) and the theory began. Alexander told us everything in detail and showed us (well, several times for those who are especially timid 😊), picked up the equipment and went to the speedboat. On the way on the speedboat to the dive site, they told us everything again (apparently seeing my frightened eyes)))) and showed us, but I was still completely confident that I couldn’t do it. Upon arrival at the dive site, we were dressed, the equipment was checked again, and then it began... Are you serious??? Should I jump off the speedboat? The first thing I thought))))). But under the close guidance of Alexander, I didn’t even have time to get scared and was already in the water)))). Further dive... Slowly and carefully we dive. And then hello to my panicks. Sasha, here’s a special thank you for babysitting and helping me cope with the panic, if it weren’t for you, I would have gotten out right away with the first panic! Hurray! We dived in. Sasha has been watching us closely all this time, holding us, asking how we are, etc. And then, as in a dream...... This indescribable beauty of the underwater world is simply mesmerizing and addictive. Words cannot describe it, you need to see it at least once.
Bottom line 😊We were very lucky with instructor Alexander, thanks to whom we received Open Water Diver certificates. Yes, yes! Completed the course 😊. Sasha, thank you very much! You are the best instructor! It was interesting and unforgettable! And yes, when I return to Todda, I will come to you to study further! 😊 You got into diving!❤️

On the way to the diving center, I wanted to turn back many times out of fear)))))). We got there)))) and the theory began. Alexander told us everything in detail and showed us (well, several times for those who are especially timid 😊), picked up the equipment and went to the speedboat. On the way on the speedboat to the dive site, they told us everything again (apparently seeing my frightened eyes)))) and showed us, but I was still completely confident that I couldn’t do it. Upon arrival at the dive site, we were dressed, the equipment was checked again, and then it began... Are you serious??? Should I jump off the speedboat? The first thing I thought))))). But under the close guidance of Alexander, I didn’t even have time to get scared and was already in the water)))). Further dive... Slowly and carefully we dive. And then hello to my panicks. Sasha, here’s a special thank you for babysitting and helping me cope with the panic, if it weren’t for you, I would have gotten out right away with the first panic! Hurray! We dived in. Sasha has been watching us closely all this time, holding us, asking how we are, etc. And then, as in a dream...... This indescribable beauty of the underwater world is simply mesmerizing and addictive. Words cannot describe it, you need to see it at least once.
Bottom line 😊We were very lucky with instructor Alexander, thanks to whom we received Open Water Diver certificates. Yes, yes! Completed the course 😊. Sasha, thank you very much! You are the best instructor! It was interesting and unforgettable! And yes, when I return to Todda, I will come to you to study further! 😊 You got into diving!❤️

P.s: Another important point.. I asked if there would be any video during the dive, they told me that it was not provided. But Sasha, nevertheless, made me an underwater video, for which a special thank you to him!
I wholeheartedly recommend Alexander from Thoddoo Diving Center, he will show you an underwater fairy tale.

On the second day we decided to scuba dive, the organization was at the highest level, the reef next to the island was very beautiful! Both days we were accompanied by guide Alexander, during the excursion he filmed amazing underwater individual videos for us, and he carefully escorted the girls who were afraid to swim alone by the hand.
Special thanks to Alexander for diving, he calmed me down, supported me, didn’t let me back down and carried out everything as professionally as possible!
Sasha, thank you again for such an amazing introduction to the stunning underwater world!!

This was our first dive, we were given instructions, everything was explained and told. Many thanks to instructor Anatoly, a professional instructor, for the first time and immediately up to 14 meters. Explained everything, showed it, lifted it up! Thanks a lot!

For the first time on vacation we dived with a group, it was unusual and difficult to adapt. Given my emotions and desire to quickly get into the water, I forgot to take off my bag and drowned my phone. But even this event did not spoil the impressions. The second time my wife and I went on an individual dive, and then a miracle happened. I loved diving. Thanks guys for this experience. You have instilled a love for this activity 🔥

This was my first dive and I was absolutely ecstatic! It turned out to be not scary at all, but rather exciting and incredibly beautiful!
I would like to express my deep gratitude to the guys for their high professionalism, support and positivity! You will fall in love with diving from the first dive!
I advise everyone who will be on the island to come here!

I recently decided to go diving for the first time in my life. And I haven’t regretted my choice for a second!
The instructors were real professionals! 💪 They very patiently explained all the nuances of the dive, showed me the correct use of the equipment and, most importantly, lowered me into the water “by the hand,” calming and supporting me. 🥰 Thanks to this, I felt as confident and safe as possible.
The dive turned out to be simply breathtaking! 🐠 I saw incredible coral reefs, colorful fish, sea turtles, sharks and stingrays... It was an indescribable feeling!
Many thanks to Alexey and Natasha for such a wonderful experience!
I will definitely come back to you to explore new underwater spaces! 🌊
Price at the end of September 2024 - $260 for two with video shooting

Special thanks to Alexey for his instructor professionalism. I took the test and learned a lot. Alexey is a professional rescuer with extensive experience and a wealth of real stories of rescues and search operations.
I also took the night diving course again and was also impressed by the excellent teaching methods. I even learned a few new nuances for myself.

A nice addition to this process is the video material of my dive, which will stay with me for the rest of my life.
The explanations were simple and clear, which allowed me to quickly master all the necessary skills. I didn’t feel a drop of fear, only delight from new sensations and the beauty of the underwater world.
I especially want to thank the Alex/Natashechka team for their support and attentive attitude. You have given me unforgettable moments and the opportunity to enjoy this amazing activity. Will definitely come back again! Thank you very much!

The guys from the diving center are just a great team, they became my friends on the island. My instructor Lesha is the most comfortable coach I have ever had, and Natasha took amazing underwater shots - be sure to book a shoot with her!
There are a lot of animals on the reefs around Thoddu - turtles, reef sharks, moray eels, triggerfish, Nemo fish, schools of garfish, hundreds of sailfish, stingrays. I had all this at arm's length every day.
The organization, equipment, training materials, boats - everything was perfect. I felt confident and safe underwater.
I wholeheartedly recommend this dive center! Guys, thank you for a wonderful vacation!

I didn't know how dive at all when I arrive bed here. After a fun dive, I decided to take the open water course and the advanced adventurer course!
My husband also did a few courses and fun dives too.
They make scuba fun and safe at the same time.
Thank you Anatolijs and your team for this amazing weeks

Fees can only be paid in cash. We recommend that you prepare some dollars. It will be more expensive if you exchange your money to rupiah. It was $60 per dive (if you have a license).
I reserved accommodation through the diving center, but it was a place that used a regular house as a guest house, and it was not listed on brokerage apps such as Agoda (the diving center owner did not tell me the name of the accommodation until the end). When I got there, the room smelled, the floor was dirty, they didn't give me a single towel, and there was no wifi (when I made the reservation, they said wifi was available and there were amenities), so I didn't stay and left and found another accommodation.
to sum up
1. Find accommodation separately.
2. Card not counted
3. Diving schedule may differ from what was agreed upon in advance.
Additionally, you will need to overcome the diving instructor's Russian-English skills. I was satisfied with the diving experience itself.

The worst diving center in the world and I've been to many places. In my entire life, I have never seen such destruction of underwater life as the guides did during one dive. Cruelty to animals, tearing the reef from the bottom with their hands, destroying it with fins. People should have their guide licenses revoked, the diving center closed and severely punished. Moreover, the diving equipment was terribly damaged. Attempts to cheat the customer at every step. Don't let the owner's positive attitude fool you. Underwater you will be shocked by the quality of this center.

Plus, the ATM on this island wasn’t working so we had no chance to get any cash. The owner, Anatolijs, helped us and got us some in no time.
All in all I can highly recommend this place!

We visited this dive center twice, for diving and excursion. The diving went perfectly, for which many thanks to our instructor Sergei. From the first minutes it was clear that we were in the hands of professionals, and therefore the first diving experience turned out to be as comfortable, safe and interesting as possible.
Unfortunately, returning to this center for a tour canceled out all the positive emotions from the past experience. It would be better to go diving again than to have this misunderstanding. Organizing the excursion is a complete failure. For 22 participants there was only one instructor, Alexander. Whether one instructor can ensure safety and order in such a large group is an open question. In parallel with our group, there was another mini-group in the boat with its own separate instructor.
The first point of the excursion was the manta rays. I had a dream - to swim with manta rays, and due to organizational problems this dream did not come true. At this point, already in the water, it turned out that the snorkeling mask issued by the organizers was defective: its attachment for the snorkel was broken, so the snorkel fell off and floated away every two minutes. Most of the time, instead of searching for manta rays, was spent catching the tube and trying to fix it in place; in the end, the tube was taken away by a wave and carried to the bottom. I swam up to the instructor and asked if there was a spare mask, because my snorkel had sunk. “Bad. Fine 20 dollars,” said the instructor and sailed off into the sunset (literally sailed away without offering at least some solution to the problem). This was the first time I encountered such a disregard for the organizers. At the very end of my stay at this location, I borrowed someone else’s mask, but I never saw the manta rays... And I wouldn’t have seen everything else if not for a girl from the excursion participants who, returning to the boat, found a lost tube at the bottom, dived and returned it to me. Only thanks to this girl I was able to swim at least a little at the second point (still constantly catching the snorkel) and not end up paying $20 for an initially defective mask))
If at the first point the participants managed to somehow disperse, then at the second, with the sharks, it was a complete mess. Due to the large number of participants in a small space, it was constantly being hit on the head by someone’s flipper or someone’s elbow.
The third point, with a sand spit - no questions, everything was clear, the food was delicious with sandwiches with french fries and watermelon.
And only at the last, fourth point, Alexander reluctantly said, “Well, let’s see what you have there,” became convinced that the fastening of my mask was really faulty, and moved the tube holder from his mask to mine. Only at this location I was able to fully snorkel.
To summarize: I categorically recommend diving from this company and categorically do not recommend excursions.

Most of the time, instead of searching for manta rays, was spent catching the tube and trying to fix it in place; in the end, the tube was taken away by a wave and carried to the bottom. I swam up to the instructor and asked if there was a spare mask, because my snorkel had sunk. “Bad. Fine 20 dollars,” said the instructor and sailed off into the sunset (literally sailed away without offering at least some solution to the problem). This was the first time I encountered such a disregard for the organizers. At the very end of my stay at this location, I borrowed someone else’s mask, but I never saw the manta rays... And I wouldn’t have seen everything else if not for a girl from the excursion participants who, returning to the boat, found a lost tube at the bottom, dived and returned it to me. Only thanks to this girl I was able to swim at least a little at the second point (still constantly catching the snorkel) and not end up paying $20 for an initially defective mask))
If at the first point the participants managed to somehow disperse, then at the second, with the sharks, it was a complete mess. Due to the large number of participants in a small space, it was constantly being hit on the head by someone’s flipper or someone’s elbow.
The third point, with a sand spit - no questions, everything was clear, the food was delicious with sandwiches with french fries and watermelon.
And only at the last, fourth point, Alexander reluctantly said, “Well, let’s see what you have there,” became convinced that the fastening of my mask was really faulty, and moved the tube holder from his mask to mine. Only at this location I was able to fully snorkel.
To summarize: I categorically recommend diving from this company and categorically do not recommend excursions.
Competent instructors, during the excursions, a favorable environment and most importantly, an unforgettable experience!

I have dived in many places including Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, Central and South America, and Africa, but the underwater environment in the Maldives was truly the best. It was so beautiful, from big things like mantas and sharks to various fish and colorful corals! If you are a diver, I definitely recommend diving at Todu Island!
I had the privilege of embarking on 5 dives, including 2 mesmerizing night dives, with this amazing crew! My underwater journey allowed me to witness the captivating beauty of the marine world and encounter a diverse array of sea creatures. The entire experience with Thoddoo Diving Center was truly remarkable and left me in awe!

Guide Ali took us to see manta rays and then we saw and fed lots of goldfish. and finally, in Rasdhoo, Ali managed to attract nurse sharks to the port, and we even got to touch them! One of the best experiences in the Maldives.
I recommend this company 100%. Its manager, Dinara, is professional and friendly, she is in everything. Thank you!!!

We were 2 beginners doing a Try Dive, where I already dived once and it was a first time for my girlfriend. They took us on a private speedboat, where all the gear was ready and we have received a basic training. Our crew consisted of 3 certified instructors.
However my girlfriend was quite scared of diving and our crew made their best to calm her down, keep her relaxed and she actually did wonderfully and reached full depth of 12m in her first dive.
For me, I had no issues and it was the best dive of my life. My instructor gave me some freedom during the dive and made me feel safe during the whole dive.
We dived at the Manta point in Thoddoo and got to see Mantas, turtles, beautiful corals and much more.
As a beginner diver I can only recommend and praise PDH diving centre.
