Who is ScubaTherapy?
Scuba Therapy is a 100% local-based company, established to provide exceptional dive service to guests who visit the Maldives, specifically Hangnaameedhoo, to experience the authentic village lifestyle.
Although Scuba Therapy is not originally from Hangnaameedhoo, we chose this location for its diverse marine life, protected dive sites, access to sandbanks, uninhabited islands, away from the modernized towns and islands with large buildings.
Nevertheless, the island is just 75 mins away from the international airport.
We seek to support the island with aspects of tourism development, marine education, awareness and team building for a better future.
Scuba Therapy is a proud 5-STAR PADI DIVE CENTER – PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors).
We provide a full range of PADI recreational dive courses in accordance with their standards.
PADI is the organization that first created the recreational diving system and course structures that we know today. PADI is also able to deliver knowledge in worldwide languages in a technology-friendly manner.
PADI is famous all over the world as the first trademark developer of compiled course structures and psychologically understanding diver behaviours for teaching easy learning and skill developing for all levels of divers.
The methods of learning involve video demos, e-learning, instructor interaction, instructor demos, briefings and in water training.
Our aim is to create divers with good buoyancy, safe diving techniques with respect for corals and marine life. Nevertheless, also a diver with a deep understanding and love for the ocean.
Additionally, the dive centre would also teach meditation and calmness of mind for beginners before they start diving, especially for individuals who pose fear of being in water.
Our Philosophy
The name: Scuba Therapy in depth refers to the diving-related services provided for the customers to be therapeutic, safe and a place where people who are stressed or burnt out from daily work and routines can find harmony and bliss from interacting and learning about calmness and peace, underwater as divers.
Our Slogan – Diving is our Therapy
If you are a non-diver, or have fear of diving, it is our mission to get you to fall in love with the ocean and its wonders. We believe that each individual deserves to try scuba diving at his/her own pace, and with our techniques and approach we’ll make it simple for you to get rid of water phobia.
Please also note that we follow strict rules, when it comes to respecting and preserving our marine environment. During dives we provide training for guests and remind them to be extra careful, to refrain from making any contacts with surfaces, unless really necessary.
For example, we prohibit wearing gloves while diving at Scuba Therapy.
Water is 29 to 30 Degree Celsius.
Pretty warm, right? That is almost throughout the year!

Water was not always my element. I have learned how to swim at the age of six, at the Cubs Scout.

Growing up I did occasionally go to swim with my family, but until the age of 19 I never did snorkel.
My passion for the ocean grew rapidly strong after I started my first water-related job, and from there to my dive instructor course it felt like the natural course of things on my path.
