Tourism Minister Pledges to Amend Maldives’ Recreational Diving Regulations
Tourism Minister Ibrahim Faisal announced at the Fuvahmulah Tourism Awards 2024 that the Maldives will revise its recreational diving regulations, unchanged since 1991. He cited the outdated 24-hour no-fly period after diving, noting other countries allow 18 hours. Discussions with experts will begin after the weekend to align rules with international standards. DAN research supports a 12- to 18-hour interval for most recreational dives.
