Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives launched a ‘Dive Free’ promotion in August 2023, offering free scuba diving for guests. Owing to the success of the promotion, Kandooma’s Dive Free has been extended until 31st October 2025.
“When we launched ‘Dive Free’ we knew this inclusion would set us apart from our competitors and it did. It has been extremely well received by scuba divers from around the world visiting the Maldives,” said Mark Eletr, the General Manager of Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives. “I think in part the promotion’s success is also due to our location on the doorstep to some of the Top 10 dive sites in the Maldives, just a 15-minute boat ride away from the resort, making it possible for multiple dives in one day.”
The resort has its own five-star PADI dive center, Kandooma Dive, equipped with experienced and professional dive instructors, purpose-built facilities, and a fleet of dive boats. In 2023, Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives was named the Best Dive Resort in the Maldives, an award it has been nominated for again in 2024.
