What divers say about Ibbeyz

“If you're looking for top-notch diving instruction, we highly recommend Ibbeyz and his dive school! We completed our Open Water and Advanced courses with him. Ibbeyz is not only a very experienced and conscientious instructor, but he's also incredibly empathetic and quickly understands the individual needs and circumstances of his students. We especially appreciate that, in addition to all the diving knowledge, Ibbeyz taught us so much about the underwater world. His knowledge about sharks, in particular, has changed our perspective. He lives in harmony with nature and the marine life, mindful”

“The Tiger Shark Safety Divemaster course was a complete game changer in my diving experience and professional career. Ibbeyz and the team really propelled me even beyond the level I was aiming for. I not only became a better diver, but learnt all the subtleties of looking after guest divers underwater while understanding the sharks behaviour and constantly adapting accordingly. This is for any diver interested to go beyond simply ticking a bucket list box, and getting deep into what these animals are about, their protection and our relationship with them. Can't recommend highly enough 👌🏻”

“Scuba diving & Oceanfanatics: Impressive! Ibbeyz and Mel are amazing instructors. They are personable and a pleasure to interact and dive with! I completed my PADI AOW course with Ibbeyz who was professional, patient and committed to teaching and guiding me. Scuba equipment was well maintained. Amazing location/ocean life with easy access to other islands and Hanifaru Bay. Night dives at the house reef are super exciting!”

Ocean Fanatics - Reethi Beach · 11 December 2024

“We came here as a dive trip and Ocean Fanatics did a great job with this. Sadly, we didn’t see any whale sharks and mantas because it’s no longer the season. The boat we used for diving had an actual functioning toilet that was clean. We got served warm tea after every dive. Sometimes there were even light snacks and juice. We especially enjoyed the night dives! Sooo many sharks and sting rays!!!! Thank you to Ibbeyz and Hanif!!! (Sorry if I have misspelled your names ✌🏼)”

“As sea lovers—and as a scuba diver myself—I decided to take the Advanced Open Water course with instructor Ibbeyz, who was incredibly professional! Spending so much time with the Ocean Fanatic team also gave me the chance to chat with them and learn something new every day about the Maldives and their incredible beauty.”

“There were some fab activities to do, the dive centre team were really nice, I tried diving for the first time and felt well looked after by the instructor, Ibbeyz. Highly recommended, my only issue was that I didn’t stay long enough so I may just have to return ☺️”
