Fihalhohi Diving
If you like swimming, snorkeling, diving, sun bathing and reading books, the Maldives will be your favorite destination anyway. The local “Ocean Venture Diving School” (under German management) has a good reputation and offers frequent diving tours to the south and east (Biyadoo area).
On top of that you can play volleyball (a group meets at 5pm every day), badminton, pool billiard, darts, table tennis or do some jogging on the beach. The bar has a changing entertainment program every night – sing karaoke, listen to the Fihalhohi live band, watch a movie or send out your personal crab to win the crab race. Fortunately, there are no animators at Fihalhohi (”hey now come on we all dance the Macarena on the beach”) like they may chase you on other resorts (e.g. as on the neighbor island Rannalhi).
The resort offers a variety of excursions like island hopping, snorkeling safari, night fishing et cetera. You even find a pretty well equipped store with souveniers and basic traveler needs (make sure you negotiate the higher priced items). There are sufficient things to do to not make you feel trapped on this small small island in the huge Indian Ocean.
