Ibrahim Zahid, commonly referred to as Ibbe is known to many as a merry man with a beaming smile, and that’s how guests recognise him of course! An experienced diver, Ibbe joined Kuramathi in 2007, starting off first as a Compressor Technician at Rasdhoo Divers, where he developed a curiosity of the amazing underwater world. His inquisitiveness was later fulfilled when the operators of the dive school, Matt and Helmuth granted him with a generous offer to undertake a Divemaster course. Upon completion, Ibbe ventured into the blue starting his career as a go-happy diver, having logged a total of 2,800 dives till this day. Ibbe says he is very grateful for both of them, since they opened a window of opportunity into a new career and also a new environment he loves.

Located at the Main Road, this historical landmark is an estimated 300 years old and is a gigantic plant towering 30 metres high. One could wander through the sawdust trail at the entrance and be amazed by the maze of thick wooden barks of this ancient tree, enshrouded in rich greenery. The tree is a nesting place for herons, fruit bats and other animals and is a sight not be missed. This tree at Kuramathi can be considered as one of the oldest banyan trees found in the Maldives.

Adambe, is so passionate about this island, he feels that his future is tied here as well.
Spookiness was redefined on Halloween as creepy characters crawled over every nook and cranny of Kuramathi. They seemed to be ubiquitous and the setting was perfect to give you a good scare!
Please see below for the frightening events on the day where jack o’ lanterns and ghouls unite!
