The DivePoint team has been living this slogan in the Maldives for a long time. Marcus’ own enthusiasm for diving and the fascinating underwater world of the Maldives prompted him to relocate to the Maldives in the 1980s.
In 2006 Marcus met his current business partner Mohamed Jalal (Jerry), who started out as a compressor technician in 1998, then worked as a divemaster and later as a diving instructor on Rannalhi.
Their first meeting was so familiar that in July of the same year they decided to turn their passion for diving into a joint business. They founded Waterproofsports PVT LTD and set up the first DivePoint dive centers on the resort islands of Rannalhi and Meedhupparu.
Today, many years later, DivePoint Maldives has developed into an established institution that makes the fascination of the Maldives that little bit more special for diving enthusiasts from all over the world.
With a total of five dive centers, four of which are located on resort islands and another on Jerry’s home island of Guraidhoo, DivePoint Maldives has set the standard when it comes to professional diving tourism with a fun factor.
It is also worth noting that they were the first diving school operators to expand their services to include water sports centers to offer an all-inclusive package for all types of water sports. This concept is still very successful today.
However, what really sets the two brands DivePoint & WatersportsPoint apart goes far beyond the mere business. It is the personal touch, dedication and passion that characterize Marcus, Jerry and their team.
Marcus, his partner Anna and Jerry live at their dive centers most of the time… and that makes all the difference!
