Diving & Playing Football on Meeru in the Maldives

By January 28, 2024No Comments

Diving in the Maldives is great but also an opportunity to play football for the Guest Team helps make a superb holiday

Compilation video of different dives in the Maldives with Euro Divers from my island base on Meeru is available below. The island is a 45min speed boat ride from Male International Airport. Great dive operation and the opportunity to see lots of sea life, play football on and relax post-Christmas

A little break from diving, football and sunbathing is a good thing. Trying 50 balls with a 5 and 9 iron is fun too. It’s been a long time away from golf as a kid acting as a caddie at Chelmsford Golf Club for the lady players. The ladies always gave a bigger tip!! Also making pocket money finding balls for the club professional. It was easy as a caddie you watched where all the ball were lost


On Meeru island we played the maintenance department on the Sunday I arrived, here is the guest score. I also played last Sunday before flying home. The administration department were not as good however we did have a great German goalkeeper. The artificial astro turf pitch was first class for an island in the middle ocean. There were just 6 guest players and the 11 made up of other departments. I understand guests could also play at 6am every morning, which would have me missing diving!! Something’s I will not miss football for!!!!

Before most matches the gardening department send out a cleaner tractor to sweep the pitch of sand which made the playing surface perfect
