Just a 45-minute seaplane transfer from Malé, Kuredu is one of the Maldives’ largest and most popular resorts, boasting one of the highest rates of repeat guests.

Divers can enjoy a 5-star PADI dive centre with access to exceptional dive sites, while non-divers are equally well catered for. The resort includes two luxury spas, a water sports centre, island excursions, a golf course, tennis courts and a host of other activities.

Join us for the Sub-Aqua Group’s traditional year-end Christmas Dinner. This will be a glamorous black tie celebration, marking another incredible year of diving, photography, travel, adventure and friendship.

This year’s event promises to be truly unforgettable as we welcome our Guest of Honour, Chris Lemons. He will share the astonishing true story behind the infamous Topaz Incident and how he survived 45 minutes at a depth of 100 metres without oxygen after becoming stranded on the seabed during a North Sea saturation dive.

The evening will begin with a Champagne reception, followed by a traditional three-course Christmas dinner including half a bottle of Club wine per person, all set within the elegant surroundings of the Mountbatten Room.

Throughout the evening, we will celebrate the highlights of the year, exchange stories from recent expeditions and adventures before presenting our annual Sub-Aqua trophies.

A gripping speaker, a festive atmosphere, fine food, wine, friendship and unforgettable stories. This is one of the highlights of the Sub-Aqua calendar which is not to be missed.
