Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I successfully completed the open water course this past week over a three-day course. It is a fantastic experience to get your diving certification in the Maldives at Maldives Passions. Super pleasant guidance had. The crew is not only professional, but also definitely fun. All in all highly recommended if you are interested in making beautiful dives right away, during the course.

What an amazing experience we have had!
First of all my husband making his second dive. Though he does not speak english Marc’s introduction lesson was very easy to understand. Training dive was made close to the beach, in a very comfortable speed, with exceptional attention to details. Main dive was just awesome. My husband was given enough freedom by his tutor Mathyn to feel the moment and end up with a decision to start his diving education!
Second, me)) i am really afraid of diving. did it once with no pleasure. But this time being just a listener i actually felt a lot of regret that i can not join diving group, but i will definitely join my husband in diving course.
Thank you guys for you passion! and for the way you share it with us! You make a very good job: people generate unforgettable memories thanks to you! wish you all the best! Alexey and Svetlana from Belarus

This was exceptional experience while staying in Fulhadhoo!
Their expertise, attention to detail and passion for diving made the first time experience unforgettable. Thanks for the privilege of being guests in the underwater world. Fantastic journey beneath the waves!
Special thanks to Marc for tasteful French humor which, beyond having a good time, helped etch the rules into memory! Merci beaucoup!
Highly recommended!

Staff of the Dive shop were super friendly.
They took care of us really well.
Our personal equipment was washed and kept by them for the next morning.
The boatdives were well organised and we found all kitted on the boat each morning. The dive masters were attentive of our needs. I highly recommend them.
Thank you for a wonderfull stay & experience on Maafushi.

Unfortunately, if you can't swim, we won't be able to accommodate you for dive, due to obvious safety concern.
