About this trip

Bandos is the working diver's resort. It's older, less polished than the design-led places, but the dive operation is the best in the country at its price tier — boats running multiple sites a day, divemasters who know the sites cold, and a house reef that's worth diving on a layover day. For divers who want to log 20+ dives in a week, this is the resort. For divers who want to log 20+ dives and have their non-diving partner feel looked after, we'd add a couples' massage and a sandbank day to balance it out.

Common questions

What does Bandos Maldives Diving Adventure cost all-in? +

The headline is from $2,200 per person sharing, but the real number depends on your nationality, travel dates, and the current offers we have with the resort. Different passports get different rates, and we usually have a layered offer running — early-bird, honeymoon credit, or stay-longer-save-more. Send us your dates and we'll come back within 24 hours with the lowest current price and a fully itemised quote. Maldives 17% TGST + 10% service charge is applied on top.

Can I change my dates after booking? +

Yes. Free date changes up to 60 days before arrival on most packages, subject to resort availability. Inside 60 days, change fees depend on the resort's policy — we'll always check with them on your behalf before charging anything.

What's not included? +

Maldives 17% TGST + 10% service charge. International flights, travel insurance, and any optional add-ons aren't bundled — but we can arrange flights for you, and we'll quote anything else on request.

Send us an enquiry with your dates and travellers. We come back within 24 hours with a tailored quote, hold the rooms for 48 hours while you decide, and take a 25% deposit to confirm. Balance is due 60 days before arrival.
