  • Scuba Diving
    Ja Manafaru
    Become a scuba diving pro with our water sports center partners 'Best Dives', official PADI-certified diving instructors who will take you step-by-step on your way to qualification and a new life of diving in the blue planet. As JA Manafaru is in the northernmost atoll, Haa Alifu, you will have the opportunity to dive at 20 of the top Maldives sites nearby through a Dhoni boat ride. What makes JA Manafaru so special for diving is the absence of other divers, as the northmost dive resort, you never have to worry about dive spot congestion – a frustration so common with the busier atoll sites. Our expert dive center instructors are multilingual and will guide you to sites suitable for all levels of diving.

    The JA Manafaru boutique offers an array of local souvenirs as well as essentials like sunscreen. Forgotten your favourite beachwear or wish to pick up some little items on the island, our small range of clothing and jewellery are available to complete your vacation in paradise.

    Our most popular excursion combines a traditional dhoni, sunset, dolphins and Chef's selection of nibbles and tipples. Dolphins are incredibly beautiful, intelligent and emotional mammals that have held fascination for centuries. They often make their way through Haa Alifu Atoll at sunrise and sunset and on our sunset and dolphin cruise, you can witness these playful creatures in their natural habitat. As the sun sets below the horizon, sip a refreshment on the cruise home in the warmth of the dusk amber ambiance, before heading to dinner marveling in the bright canopy of stars, literally the perfect afternoon to evening Maldivian experience.
