Silver Sands Pvt Ltd, a pioneering name in the Maldives’ tourism industry for providing dive, watersports and excursions, proudly marked its 25th anniversary with a grand celebration held at Kurumba Maldives. The event brought together the company’s dedicated staff, owners, directors, long-standing partners, and esteemed clients to commemorate a remarkable journey that began on June 7, 2000.

From humble beginnings, Silver Sands has grown into one of the country’s most respected names in diving, water sports, and marine excursions. Today, it operates 13 dive and water sports centers across 15 luxury resorts, offering a broad portfolio of tailored, high-end ocean experiences under its hallmark “Total Solutions” concept.

The evening was highlighted by an Awards Ceremony recognizing the company’s longest-serving employees—individuals who have played a key role in shaping Silver Sands’ legacy through their loyalty, professionalism, and passion for marine adventure.

In his address, Managing Director Mr. Hussain Thoufeeq Ali expressed heartfelt gratitude to the entire Silver Sands team and their partners. “Silver Sands, which started with only one employee (which was just me), has grown into a company that has provided employment to more than 500 individuals—both Maldivians and foreigners—creating not just jobs, but careers, livelihoods, and opportunities for growth.”

“I am delighted to see that our relentless efforts to train local talents have paid off. Silver Sands today employs staff who joined at entry level and have grown to become captains, managers, and even general managers—some of whom are present here.”

Silver Sands' commitment to excellence has consistently placed it at the forefront of the Maldivian marine tourism sector. The company’s offerings include PADI-certified dive courses, luxury water sports, conservation-focused marine biology experiences, and custom excursions ranging from dolphin quests to big game fishing.

Its subsidiaries Sea Gear, the retail and equipment arm, and Evo, known for elite top notch product distribution also contribute to the brand’s comprehensive approach, helping position Silver Sands as a one-stop solution for marine adventure and resort collaboration.

With multilingual, highly trained professionals and a firm dedication to sustainability, Silver Sands continues to redefine marine adventure in the Maldives.

As the night concluded, attendees looked back with pride and forward with renewed ambition, eager to see what the next chapter holds for a company that has made the Maldivian seas its life’s work.
