FAQ

1. Will my child go near or into the ocean?

Yes. As we are surrounded by the ocean in the Maldives, we believe a safe, respectful, and joyful connection to the beach and sea is a vital part of childhood and island life. Ocean-based activities, such as exploring the shore, wading in shallow lagoons, and introductory snorkeling, are integrated into our programs Crucially, you will always be informed ahead of time whenever a session is planned to include swimming or intentional ocean time, so you can ensure your child comes prepared with swimwear and a towel. All such activities are designed with the highest safety standards, conducted in safe, designated, shallow areas under the direct supervision of our team, which includes certified lifeguards and marine educators. Participation is always gradual, voluntary, and tailored to each child’s comfort level.

2. What if my child cannot swim?

Knowing how to swim is not a requirement to join our programs. A core part of our philosophy is to gently and safely make the ocean a familiar and positive part of a child's life, which naturally fosters water confidence and foundational swimming skills over time.
For any activity involving water (which you will be notified about in advance):

• Safe Designated Areas: Activities are conducted only in safe, clearly marked zones to ensure children explore within a secure and supervised environment.
• Trained Personnel & Equipment: A certified lifeguard or first-aid trained staff member actively supervises all activities, with safety equipment like a kayak and flotation devices always at reach.
• Pre-Activity Safety Briefing: Session begins with a clear safety briefing for children.
• High Supervision Ratios: When exploring the reef, an experienced guide will supervise children at a 1:2 or 1:1 ratio, based on the child’s comfort level in the water.
• Child-Led Pace: We never force participation. Children are encouraged to explore at their own comfort level, building trust and familiarity step-by-step

Our goal is to nurture capable, confident, and safe young ocean stewards.
