GAN ISLAND
Gan Island
The word "Gan" is a Sanskrit word derived from "Grama" meaning "village" which captures the local and natural feel of the island. Isolated from most tourist routes, Gan thrives with incredible diving spots. We are truly in love with its wildlife and scenery that offers us incredible diving in tandem with the local Maldivian culture.
Gan Island offers a unique and enriching experience, providing an authentic taste of Maldivian life while supporting the local community and economy. During this experience you will be able to observe and interact with residents, try local cuisine, and participate in community activities and traditions. Not only are the local islands more affordable compared with resort islands but we wish to support the local economy by spending money directly with locals. By choosing local guesthouses, restaurants, and shops, you contribute to the livelihoods of the island residents.
Local islands tend to be less crowded than popular resort islands, offering a more peaceful and relaxed environment. This also means we can access untouched nature: where nature sees fewer humans, it stays wilder. Here we have the chance to enjoy untouched beaches, coral reefs, and natural beauty that means we can provide you with a richer, more beautiful and serene experience.
*not to be confused with Gan Island in Addu Atoll.
Diving
Laamu Atoll | 80 Islands of Diving
The Laamu Atoll diving scene is very special as there is only one diving centre on the island. As you can imagine, this is a rare privilege nowadays and assures the privacy and magic of all the diving locations. The water is fairly stable all year round, ranging between 27°C - 29°C. Diving spots are all less than 50 minutes away and famous for the colourful thilas (pinnacles), reefs and great channels resulting in a variety of pelagic zones.
We commonly encounter wildlife such as sharks (white tips, grey reefs, silver tips, leopard sharks, nurse sharks etc.), turtles, eagle and stingrays, tunas, barracudas, jacks and the widest abundance of reef species. All together, there are more than 20 dive sites, which we will visit by diving off a 9m Dhoni - a typical Maldivian boat.
