Dive Center
Welcome to Dhigurah, for an unparalleled underwater adventure in the heart of the Maldives — a true haven for diving enthusiasts seeking the perfect balance between discreet luxury and exceptional exploration.
With over 20 years of experience in observing whale sharks, our captains are well familiar with the diving sites in the region. Thanks to their expertise, the dives are made smoothly on the best spots, allowing you to drift calmly as close as possible to the marine wonders, without rapid entry or stressful conditions.
Join us at Dhigurah Island, Maldives, for an unforgettable diving experience where security, expert guidance, and comfort come together to create unique memories.
We generally offer up to three dives per day, as well as night dives on request and depending on the weather conditions.
Our day trips are designed for eager explorers seeking discoveries: whale shark sightings or visits to manta ray cleaning stations depending on the season, with lunch and refreshments served on board.

I visited with my wife as a present for my birthday and we had a fantastic time, thanks to the super friendly and professional hotel and diving staff, comfortable venue, excellent food and amazing dives. I highly recommend the Boutique Beach Hotel to all divers and sea lovers. Hotel staff make you feel home, take care of you and make you feel part of the BB family. I was celebrated on my birthday with a home made cake, special bed decoration for the occasion and more attention than I can handle without feeling totally embarrassed :) The hotel is clean, well maintained and comfortable, local staff is very helpful and friendly, and the food, a combination of Asian cuisine and Western favourites, is wholesome and tasty. Dhigurah is an inhabited island with endless sandy beaches and all the usual ups (local bars and shops) and downs (no alcohol, no bikini in town) but overall it's a lovely and laidback place. Dives were very well planned and organised, boat crew and dive guides are very attentive and friendly, yet focused and knowledgeable. Everyone considers safety and sealife preservation top priority and we never felt safer in any other dive tour, as everything during the dives was kept under control and within limits. All dive equipment is rentable and well maintained, good quality gear. The atmosphere on the boat during the trips was chill and the dive sites were abundant with rich, colourful marine flora and fauna and provided and amazing experience. I have to commend the healthy combination of Western management attitude and local team and resources that makes the place carry a local flavour with Western quality. We had a fantastic holiday and will return for sure. Thank you Romney, Mette, David, Jess and Jess, Chef Shanthi, Captain Ibrahim, Saeed and everyone else in the Boutique Beach family! xxx

We had an incredible stay here, it is the first time I have ever left a hotel and felt like I am leaving family! I bumped into another guest at the airport and she said the same thing to me. Everything has been thought about and your every need catered for, this felt more like a 5* stay than the ‘luxury resort’ we stayed at. For example, they even provided mosquito repellent at dinner and in the rooms. Also, my husband mentioned that it was my birthday and they went out of their way to make the day special with lovely thoughtful touches and surprises, it is certainly a birthday I’ll never forget! The food here was so good, we were going back for seconds every night. It was the best food we had during our trip to the Maldives! The dive instructor (Hugo) we had was brilliant as well, he had a calm manner and I instantly trusted him (I did my advanced open water course so still fairly new to diving!). They only had groups of four with an instructor which was a really good size. We had some incredible dives here! The rooms were also really good, two showers were perfect as no one had to wait when we were back from the boat. We had the best time here and couldn’t recommend it more, we’ll definitely be going back at some point!

Amazing diving experience! We had a fantastic stay at Boutique Beach Hotel. Everything was perfectly organized from arrival to departure. Huge thanks to Hugo and David for the incredible dives. Great food, wonderful people, and a much more authentic and personal atmosphere than a resort. We’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic! This superb place brings together an excellent diving experience and a comfortable hotel all in one. The staff are top notch, and run a smooth operation without missing a detail. The island itself is very quiet a real getaway place. Thank you to all the team... You are a class act!

It was absolutely amazing. The food is DELICIOUS. The personal are the sweetest people who will make you feel like you are a part of a big family, we felt very welcomed there. If you had any problem they would solve it immediately. Just few steps from the resort is a beautiful beach, bikini friendly. The diving is beautiful and adventerous and they will take care of you, so no need to worry if you are a beginner the diving instructors are kind and always try their best to find some cool fish and stuf to show you. Staff on the boat will take care of you too, we got little snacks inbetween dives and there is unlimited tea and cofee you can have. We saw and swam with a whale shark. We stayed at the tripple mezzazine room, it was beautiful the only complaint i have is the wifi that wasn’t working very well, sometimes it was okay but most of the times it couldn’t reach the room well, but if you step outside it was working perfectly. But that is literally the only “problem” i had but it’s not important as as the main stuff such as the diving, food, people, experience are absolutely 10/10. I fell in love w their place and it is not the first time i am visiting. I seriously recommend this place. 🤍
