Locally Owned. Ocean Grown.

Our Story

Born from Bodufolhudhoo. Inspired by the reef.

Bodu Manta Diving Center was founded by passionate local divers from Bodufolhudhoo who wanted to share the magic of their home reef with the world. As part of the Paguro Maldives family, our mission is to provide unforgettable dive adventures with authentic island hospitality — without the luxury price tag.

We know these waters like home, because they are home.
