One planet. A different world.

Who we are

Ayala Bubbles Dive Center is a Scuba Schools International (SSI) training centre on Gulhi, in the South Malé Atoll, Kaafu Atoll, Maldives, offering internationally recognised diver education at every level. Renovated and re-equipped in December 2025, we're a small, deliberately personal center — diving away from the busy boats of Maafushi and Dhigurah, with a focus on customer-first, environmentally responsible diving.

Guest experience

We exist to make diving feel relaxed and personal: truly small groups, no rushed diving, professional international instructors, and an experienced local crew who know this region intimately. We want every guest to feel confident, comfortable, well looked after — and, above all, to leave smiling.

Environmental responsibility

We're a certified SSI Blue Oceans Centre, and we take it seriously: regular reef and beach clean-ups, partnerships with conservation projects, reducing our footprint on the island, and championing ocean awareness on every dive and off it. Our conservation work →

Our approach

On Gulhi, we're the only dive center fully dedicated to diving and a full range of courses. We combine high safety standards, professional instruction and deep local knowledge to deliver a quality, responsible diving experience in the South Malé Atoll. Meet the team →
