MSDT BANDOS : PADI MSDT Prep Course

Bandos gives access to thrilling shark dives in Hulhumalé, excellent wreck penetration on the Victory wreck, stunning manta ray encounters at Manta Point, dynamic reefs like Bandos Rock, and an excellent house reef with vibrant marine life.

The sites around Bandos naturally suit Enriched Air (EANx), Wreck, and Deep specialties, plus Shark and Manta specialties that take advantage of local megafauna. These specialties allow divers to experience the area’s best while building confidence and skill for challenging dives.

Yes, there’s a wide selection—choose EANx, Deep, Wreck, Drift, Night, Shark or Manta Diver, among others. The local dive team can tailor your training plan based on your interests and Maldives conditions.

Bandos offers ZUEX DPVs (scooters) for exhilarating propulsion specialty dives, a calm lagoon for adaptive teaching and confined water skills, easy access to outstanding drift dives, and incredible night diving for specialty students.

Having a range of teaching specialties makes new instructors much more employable—Maldivian resorts and safari boats favor candidates who can teach EANx, Deep, Wreck, and specialty courses such as Shark or Manta Diver.

Training with Mark and Adam means access to extra seminars covering marine resource management, underwater photography, Scubapro equipment, and a masterclass on diving in the Maldives—reading currents, picking sites, and adapting to local conditions. Their depth of experience ensures you leave as a well-rounded and knowledgeable instructor.
