During my family visit to Maldives- dhangethi, We were diving with Rauf. We had 4 dives and several snorkeling trips. We had the experience of a life time! Rauf is the best guide and also his helpers were great with the kids, that were a little afraid at first! I felt so confident and safe, Rauf is most professional and reliable. we visited the most exciting diving sites and snorkeled with Mantas and turtles. I highly recommend !!
