The Equatorial Diver's lodge is a typical guesthouse/hotel located on the island Feydhoo in the Addu Atoll. It is located in the middle of the village on the main road next to a harbour. That might not be the nicest view however, due to its central location, you will find restaurants, supermarkets and ATMs in walking distance. If needed you can rent bicycles for USD 5/day or USD 25/week which gets you around almost in the entire atoll up to Hitadhoo. Alternatively, you rent a scooter for USD 25/day. You can also rent a waverunner (jetski) for approx. USD 60/hour and take off straight from the harbour in front of the hotel.||The rooms are very clean, spacious with a/c and have plenty of space (closet) to store your clothes and a small fridge. The bathroom is also spacious and clean with warm water shower. The wifi is very stable and good enough to even do video calls. The limitation itself comes from the overall internet quality of the Maldives, which varies from time to time.||The breakfast is good and well prepared. There are always different fruits, toast bread, different style of egg and/or omelette, chicken sausage (bring your own mustard), tea and coffee. If you want to have muesli, just ask and they will organise.||The swimming pool is not huge but big enough for a quick swim after the dive to get rid of the salt and to kill and wash out the plankton in your ears to avoid an infection. The only downside of the pool is that they let external family with kids used it (against an entrance fee) from time to time and then it makes you feel like you were in a water park. Also being in a Muslim country you have to be aware that women will wear hijab, long sleeved shirts and pants for swimming. Men are mostly wearing shirts and shorts. However, as a tourist you can still wear just short and women a bikini as you are inside in a closed area and not in public.||The manager, Hussein Rasheed and his staff (Hassan) are extremely helpful and would organise everything you need and that is available on the atoll. He would also do shuttle service to restaurants further away. The owner pops up too from time to time and we had been invited for a very nice barbecue dinner on the roof top for Eid-el-Adha.||We have dived with Marc Kouwenberg from Aquaventure Dive, which I can highly recommend. They work together with the Equatorial Diver's lodge and as their Dhonie is based in the harbour of Maradhoo-Feydhoo, Hussein also provides shuttle...
Read moreSo I dropped in here after flying into Gan while waiting for the speed boat to Fuvahmulah and was welcomed to stay in their very nice and comfortable air conditioned lobby with a cup of coffee. Now I'm back waiting for my departure flight and they're still as friendly and welcoming as ever. The location is perfect, directly across the street from the ferry station and next door to a nice market to pick up some basics. They gave me a tour of what looks like a lovely pool area and nice rooms above. I can't speak to what it's like to stay here but I did chat with them for a long while about diving around this island and they seem very knowledgeable and helpful. They also have a spa if you have some time and would like a massage. I would definitely book a couple of nights with this place to check out the diving situation the next time I'm in this part...
