I went to shark Snorkeling organised bu shushmita from the marine dhuffushi reception. I was greeted very nicely and it went smoothly. Fayaz the captain and Abul the guide made me feel safe when swimming with the nurse sharks. Highly recommend d
We enjoyed our snorkeling trip with them sincerely, they were very friendly and accommodating especially on our budget give reasonable prices among others. Do look for Ms.Susma she’s super friendly. Mr.Abu he guided us for the snorkeling trip and he knows very well in the seas and they also provide underwater videos for us!
I've done a turtle snorkeling with this Marine Dhiffushi group. I don't want give them a single star, if I can I will give them a minus star. There's this local captain and guide named Fayas, who can't take his hands off me. He repeatedly pressed my boobs while handling. I clearly told him not to touch me but he gave a creepy smile and started saying things in his language. He is with a bad attitude! And they can't provide good videos for the guests. We haven't got any video of us with the turtles. I don't recommend them.
We had a wonderful dolphin sunset cruise. We saw a lot of dolphins. a day to remember! Everything went smoothly and the staff was friendly We paid 25$ each and it was definitely worth it.
AVOID THIS COMPANY We booked a very expensive trip to a resort for the day for my partners birthday. We got chucked on tiny a boat with some people who were going snorkelling and got soaking wet on our way there, the driver was reckless, and all our nice clothes were soaked. For the money we paid we would have expected better transport to the island. On the return journey my partner flew forward and smashed her head on the boat and burst into tears. The driver couldn’t care less and carried on recklessly. We also had a nightmare paying, their card machine stopped working and they demanded we get cash out (ATM fee’s) or pay in their money with an awful exchange rate. We ended up paying about $25 dollars more and had to run around the island all day to make up for their mistake taking the wrong amount of money the first time. They just left when we said how unhappy we were with the whole experience. Bunch of conmen. Avoid
