Scuba Schools International to Conduct Dive Programs in Dhivehi

Scuba Schools International divers in Maldives
Scuba Schools International has announced to conduct programs in Dhivehi to support training and certification of Maldivian divers.

Scuba Schools International (SSI) has announced to conduct dive programs in Dhivehi to support training and certification of Maldivian divers. With the recently updated government rule that requires all fishermen and anyone else who scuba dives for work to have a diving certification, SSI is supporting the SSI dive centers and instructors in the Maldives.

The Open Water Diver course is the starter course for anyone who wants to learn scuba diving. The course trains the student to a level where they will have skills enough to dive autonomously with another certified diver. SSI has had their Open Water Diver course translated to Dhivehi since 2015. Furthermore, this is the first time that an internationally recognised diver certification program has been translated into Dhivehi.

SSI is now working on expanding the range of other dive course materials and forms that are available in Dhivehi. The Deep Diver course and Advanced Adventurer program are available for those seeking to dive deeper than the Open Water limits and gain more experience. SSI offers a wide range of different SSI dive courses beyond the Open Water Diver course.

SSI currently remains the largest business-based training agency in the world. SSI has over 3300 training centres worldwide, including over 60 in the Maldives. More than 50,000 Scuba Professionals represent SSI. Likewise, SSI conducted over 20 million dive courses over the past 50 years. SSI offers Scuba Diving Courses, Extended Range (technical) Diving Programs, Swim Courses, Lifeguard Training, and Freediving programs.

For more than 45 years, SSI has provided training, scuba diving certification, and educational resources for divers, dive instructors, dive centers, and resorts around the world.

Kuda Villingili Resort Welcomes India’s Aqua Fitness Expert Rajni Maker for Global Wellness Day 2025

Aqua Fitness Expert

From June 14 to 18, 2025, the luxury resort in the Maldives, Kuda Villingili will host an exclusive wellness program celebrating Global Wellness Day, inviting guests to reconnect with themselves, nature, and community through the transformative power of water. Rajni Maker, a trailblazer in India’s aqua fitness scene known for her innovative and inclusive water-based workouts, will lead the five-day event.

Aqua fitness expert Rajni Maker brings over 16 years of experience in Pilates, mindful movement, and water-based training to the Maldives, where she will lead guests through a fun and energizing mix of low-impact exercises suited for all fitness levels. Her signature programs, including Aqua Tabata, Kickboxing, Circuits, Pilates, Aerobics, and Zumba, blend science with flow to deliver joyful, joint-friendly workouts that boost overall vitality. Recognized by NATCOM and ATNI for her contributions to the field, Rajni also holds an Aqua Specialisation from the Federation of International Sports Aerobics and Fitness in Singapore.

She shared her excitement about the upcoming program

“I am thrilled to bring my expertise to Kuda Villingili. The resort’s serene setting and expansive aquatic spaces offer the ideal canvas for meaningful, water-based wellness experiences. My goal is to help every participant reconnect with their body and mind, while also leaving them with simple, sustainable practices they can continue at home—whether they are just beginning their wellness journey or are seasoned fitness enthusiasts.”

Wellness Experiences Set in Paradise

Kuda Villingili Resort already welcomes wellness lovers with a variety of experiences that promote balance, vitality, and inner peace. Its private island spa features eight treatment villas specializing in holistic therapies with organic, island-inspired ingredients. On top of that, guests who prefer active pursuits will find the Maldives’ largest pool, a cutting-edge gym overlooking the ocean, and a jungle yoga pavilion perfectly positioned for sunrise and sunset practice.

Now, with Global Wellness Day approaching, the resort has pulled together an experience that goes beyond the usual. Throughout the five days, guests can enjoy a thoughtfully curated lineup of activities designed to nourish both body and soul:

  • Start with a guided nature walk through the island’s lush landscape, ending with a mindful beachside body scrub using traditional Maldivian ingredients.
  • Then, wake up your core with sunrise Pilates sessions using the Magic Circle, focusing on strength and flexibility.
  • After that, join Rajni for high-intensity aqua kickboxing classes—a joint-friendly but seriously energizing cardio workout.
  • Families can also get moving together during fun and active beach HIIT sessions.
  • For something playful, join a friendly padel tennis match and compete for wellness-themed prizes.
  • Later, tap into your creative side with a nature-inspired painting session.
  • And finally, take time for yourself with a one-on-one wellness consultation with one of the resort’s expert practitioners.

As the schedule flows from movement to mindfulness, the entire program ties beautifully into this year’s Global Wellness Day theme, #ReconnectMagenta. It’s all about slowing down, recharging, and reconnecting, whether that means bonding with loved ones, finding inner calm, or just being present in nature.

About Rajni Maker and Flow & Fit

Rajni Maker is more than just an aqua fitness expert, she’s reshaped the way people in India experience movement in water. Her Flow & Fit program brings her vision of fitness to life: fluid, empowering, and deeply restorative. Not to mention, she blends elements of yoga, functional training, and rehab into every session, creating something that feels both powerful and healing.

With certifications from respected institutions like ACSM, the Pilates Institute of America, and the Evidence-Based Fitness Academy, Rajni backs her passion with real knowledge. What makes her stand out, though, is how she turns fitness into something fun, approachable, and doable—whether you’re brand new or a long-time wellness enthusiast.
