I do have a trip report but unforunately it is written in Chinese. However, you may still view the dive map and other photos of Maafushi here: ?????? ??? photos - ?????? - ??? ??????? - Powered by Discuz!

The Maafushi dive shop I used is Maldives Passions: MALDIVES PASSIONS dive school situated on the island of Maafushi
Reviews: Maldives Passions Dive School (Maafushi Island) on TripAdvisor: Address, Phone Number, Top-Rated Attraction Reviews

It is an excellent dive shop with nice and professional staff, good boat and good services. Small dive groups.

You are welcome to ask me anything about Maafushi here.

Which dive shop does he works at? There are at least three dive shops on Maafushi.

I will go to Maafushi again in mid-Feburary and dive with Maldives Passions dive shop.
