Rasdhoo Divers at Kuramathi Maldives has announced a remarkable achievement by 11-year-old Ethan Evans, who has set a new world record for the most scuba dives completed before the age of twelve. The breathtaking surroundings of Kuramathi Maldives has provided the perfect setting for Ethan’s diving journey, where he has surpassed the previous record of 102 dives and now aims for 150.
Ethan, hailing from Warden Villages, was inspired by his father, Paul Evans, a dedicated ocean conservationist. With the stunning backdrop of Kuramathi’s crystal-clear waters, Ethan earned his open water certification at just ten years old and spent six weeks diving in this tropical paradise, averaging two to three dives each day. His ability to confidently interact with manta rays and sharks has been nothing short of extraordinary, showcasing the vibrant marine life that Kuramathi Maldives is renowned for.
The expert team at Rasdhoo Divers, led by seasoned instructor Adil Khalid, has been instrumental in Ethan’s diving development, guiding him from his initial dives to advanced training. “Ethan’s confidence and calmness underwater are remarkable,” said Adil. The support from the Rasdhoo Divers team has been vital in helping Ethan reach his goals while exploring the rich marine ecosystem that Kuramathi Maldives offers.
As Ethan continues to strive for his goal of 150 dives and dreams of becoming a diving guide in the Maldives, his story reflects the potential of young divers and the nurturing environment provided by Kuramathi Maldives. Beyond setting records, Ethan is committed to ocean conservation, actively participating in cleanup dives with his father to address sea pollution.
