Our operation at Le Meridien Resort & Spa started to become alive in September 2021. Together with the island developer we were able to contribute our practical knowledge for Scuba Diving and Watersports to the construction of the island. That means our outlets are highly functional and provide our guest with the best possible comfort.

The beautiful Dive Center is located directly on the arrival jetty. Our Dive Center is less than a minute boat ride away from Maldives most beautiful House Reef. Le Meridien Maldives House Reef is the Best House Reef in the Maldives. It is located on the north side of Le Meridien Maldives, Lhaviyani Atoll. Le Meridien Maldives House Reef is the best example of Maldivian biodiversity. Only a minute boat shuttle from Sub Oceanic’s Dive Center at Le Meridien Maldives away! It is filled with countless species of marine life. Without doubt one of the Best House Reef in the Maldives for snorkeling or scuba diving! On the western side the reef slopes to depths of 20-30m. The top reef boasts an array of healthy hard corals, providing a habitat for a diverse variety of marine species. Along this reef slope you can tick many things off your bucket list: green and hawksbill turtles at cleaning stations, large schools of snappers, surgeonfish, pufferfish and unicorn fish. Looking into the blue, passing reef sharks as well as eagle rays can be spotted! If you are lucky, you can even have amazing encounters with manta rays. Further out from the reef, in “Macroworld”, macro photographers will feel immediately at home. Proving size doesn’t matter, you can find amazing species of shrimp, pipefish, nudibranch, worms and crustaceans to keep you entertained.

Miyaru is the Dhivehi (Maldivian) word for shark. Gaa means as much as “Block“ in the local language. Putting both parts together creates the perfect description of this place. To be more precise “Nurse Shark Block“ would hit the nail on its head...
