Baros Maldives is a small exclusive coral island in the Indian Ocean ringed by a sun-kissed beach and a vibrant house-reef, just 20 minutes by speedboat from Maldives International Airport. It is a multi award-winning boutique luxury resort with a long history of outstanding service excellence.

(TRAVPR.COM) MALDIVES - October 4th, 2013 - To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Baros Maldives, the resort’s Dive Base owner, Sepp Zedelmayer, has introduced a diving programme based on a legend – the legendary underwater world to be found around Baros.

He opened the Diving Centre at Baros Maldives in 1980 and has been exploring the reefs in North Male’ Atoll in which Baros is situated, ever since. From the beginning of his diving career Sepp also pioneered the conservation of the underwater world, as well as the protection of turtles. As a result Baros Maldives stands for environmental awareness with the Dive Centre and the associate Marine Centre being dedicated to reef preservation.

In conjunction with his discovery of dive sites, Sepp opened the Dive Centre at Baros Maldives as one of the first in the archipelago. His success story continued with the establishment of a PADI five-star Gold Palm Dive Centre in 2008 and the creation of the first resort EcoDive Centre in the Maldives in December 2010 at Baros.

Baros Maldives, with 30 over water villas, ten with secluded sundeck swimming pools, and 44 beachside villas, ten of which have individual plunge pools, and one romantic Baros Residence, is ideal for divers, whether novices or experts, because of the variety of living coral, fish and turtles to be observed on its pristine house reef within a few metres of the beach.
