Watersports and Diving
March 30, 2024
News for all dive and watersports enthusiasts. At the quaint 80 room resort of Dhigufaru Island in the North of the Baa Atoll, Ocean Dimensions not only operates the dive center but also the watersports section.
Here we offer a range of activities starting with the most exciting ones:
Flyboarding
There are not many islands in the Maldives where you can try this thrilling new activity. A jetski forces water under pressure to a pair of boots with jet nozzles underneath. You will be wearing those boots. This water pressure will provide you with the thrust to fly up to 10m in the air. Some riders can perform amazing tricks by movement, grip, and balance. It will take you about 10 to 25 minutes to learn the basics of flyboarding.
Jetski
A jetski ride is like a motorbike ride in the water. Control your own speed, cruise around a few islands, jump over a few waves or together with your partner visit a nearby sand bank. We have a few different options for you.
Waterski
Do you ski in the snow? Then you are already halfway there. Getting up and out of the water is the tricky part. Initially you might need a few tries to get the technique right. Once you are up you will have a lot of fun being pulled behind the boat skimming over the water surface. Waterskiing is a brilliant workout for your legs, arms and core. You can also try monoski.
Wakeboard
Probably wakeboarding is slightly more difficult than waterskiing, but it is different for everyone. The tricky part is the start, how to get up and out of the water. Once you are out you can ride over the wake and maybe even try some little jumps and turns. Same as waterskiing, you will feel your all our muscles after only a 20 minutes ride.
Windsurfing
Our licensed VDWS instructor will teach you how to keep your balance on the board, pick up your sail and catch the wind to windsurf in the perfect conditions of the Dhigufaru Island lagoon. You can choose from introduction lessons up to a course including an international license.
SUP
SUP or Stand Up Paddle Boarding is cross between canoeing and surfing. After just a few minutes for finding your balance, you will be able to stand on the board and paddle around the island in the calm waters of the lagoon. SUPing gives you a great full-body workout as you engage all your muscles for keeping your balance and paddling.
Canoe
If you rather sit instead of finding your balance standing on a narrow board, canoeing is the right leisure activity. We have double and single canoes. You can take the whole family or go by yourself. Go fast and race each other or go slow and while away your time in the sun.
Blast Rides
You have the choice of 2 inflatable tubes either the sofa or the banana blast ride. Come to the beach climb onto your preferred ride and hold on tight. We will pull you across the water, we can go slow or fast, zig zag across the waves or go straight, make sure you fall off or stay on – you decide.
Which activity is your favorite?
And don’t forget, you can also try snorkeling and diving!
