TGI Fasmendoo

TGI Fasmendoo is a PADI-affiliated dive centre situated on Fasmendhoo Island in the Raa Atoll. Operating from within the Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa, the centre is positioned in an area of significant marine importance, particularly as a nesting site for sea turtles.

The centre provides access to the diverse marine environments of the atoll, ranging from reef flats to deeper sections of the reef. Whether you are looking for guided diving excursions or snorkeling trips to observe local pelagics, the centre is integrated into a resort designed for both families and those seeking a tropical island setting.

The centre operates as part of a larger luxury resort infrastructure, providing a structured environment for both recreational divers and families. It maintains an affiliation with PADI, ensuring that all training and guiding follow established international standards.

For families, the centre benefits from the proximity to the Dolphin Kids Club, a large dedicated space for children. The resort setting also means that diving activities are closely integrated with the wider hospitality services of the Emerald Collection.

As a PADI affiliated centre, TGI Fasmendoo offers a full range of training programmes. This includes entry-level courses for those new to the water through to advanced certifications for experienced divers.

Excursions are conducted using a traditional Dhoni, the iconic Maldivian vessel. These boats are used for both diving trips and dedicated dolphin-watching cruises, allowing you to navigate the atoll in a way that is authentic to the region.

The waters around Fasmendhoo are a significant habitat for sea turtles, which use the local area as a nesting site. You can frequently encounter them during snorkeling or diving excursions along the reef.

The atoll is also home to various resident species, including Spinner dolphin and bottlenose dolphins. These can often be observed during dedicated cruises on the Dhoni.

In the wider reef environment, you will find a variety of reef fish and larger pelagics. This includes the chance to see Shark (Selachimorpha), Eagle ray (Aetobatus), and Manta ray (Mobula alfredi) passing through the atoll.
