Clients Testimonials
I had an amazing experience diving with this club! The staff was knowledgeable, professional, and always put safety first. They took the time to ensure that I was comfortable with the equipment and the dive plan before we entered the water. The dive sites were incredible, and I saw so many beautiful marine creatures that I had never seen before (like mantas, sharks and much more). The club also provided excellent facilities and equipment, which made the entire experience very comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend this diving club to anyone who is looking for a fantastic diving experience. Thank you so much for an unforgettable time!

Yakko and his crew were very professional and attentive with our group. We did several dives with them and had an incredible experience. They are a local dive shop that know all the best spots in the area and are flexible to adapt to the group needs. I am grateful we choose them for our diving in Ukhulas, we will definitely repeat! 🤿

Our second time on Ukulhas in just a few months. Both times, we had the best diving experiences ever! We have been to the Maldives several times, but Yakko really knows how to make his customers happy. We will definitely be back and can't wait!

I had a fantastic diving and snorkeling experience here!
The instructors at Merakabay provided thorough support to each guest. The weather in the Maldives changes rapidly, so guests don't know if they will be able to dive or not, but they let us know in advance, which was helpful.
I wasn't able to go on the whale shark tour this time, but they worked hard to find a tour for me. Thank you.
Instead, they gave me a great experience and I am very satisfied!!

We had an amazing experience with Murakabay Dives! The team was incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I was particularly impressed by their professionalism and their protective attitude toward both the guests and the wildlife. It’s clear they prioritize safety and conservation, making the dive not only enjoyable but also responsible. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the underwater world!

Maarja Karu
I did around 14 dives with Murakabay Dive and Excursion Centre in Ukulhas and had an amazing experience. The team was incredibly friendly, professional, and always ready to help with anything I needed.
Every dive was well-organized, fun, and safe. I got to see manta rays, turtles, and vibrant coral reefs. The atmosphere was always relaxed and enjoyable – I felt welcome and taken care of the entire time.
If you’re planning to dive in the Maldives, I truly recommend this dive center. I’m really happy I chose Murakabay and I would love to come back again in the future!

We had an amazing time diving with Yakko and his team in Ukulhas! The staff was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about the ocean, knowing it inside out. The dive sites around the island are absolutely stunning — we saw huge numbers of mantas, grey reef sharks, eagle rays, turtles, napoleons, octopi and much more.
The boat was spacious and well-equipped, and everything ran smoothly and on time. I especially appreciated the personal touch — they remembered our preferences and were very kind and quick in organising night dives as well. What truly stood out, though, was the outstanding level of hospitality. We really wanted to see tiger sharks, and Yakko went above and beyond to help us make it happen. He didn’t hesitate to call around and help us organize a dive in Malé, helping us with setting up transport and making sure everything went smoothly. Thanks to him, we got to experience the best of what the Maldives has to offer, both in Ukulhas and beyond.
