Blue World Diving run by Johan provided a wonderful experience and some interesting dive sites. Congrats to Johan and his team for providing a professional yet friendly and attentive service. Johan managed to tempt Carly back in the water to try scuba diving again having had a bad experience in the Maldives last year. Through his perseverance and friendly manner, he managed to ensure she had a successful first adventure beneath the surface – a 10m dive for 55 minutes!! Thank you for your patience Johan!!
The Whale Shark trip did not disappoint – seeing some 7 whale sharks and close encounters with four – just spectacular. A must do trip if visiting Mafia Island.

To summarise – a wonderful boutique resort in a beautiful location with attentive and incredibly friendly staff.
