Siyam World launches world’s first underwater jet pack

Published

on

Siyam World, a leading island resort in the Maldives, has launched the world’s first underwater jet pack in collaboration with Cudajet.

The jetpack is a luxury water sports toy that gives you the feeling of ultimate freedom with predator-like manoeuvrability as you fly weightlessly around a new underwater world. The CudaJet can be mounted and dismounted in seconds to perform hot swaps between divers. The harness provides buoyancy which allows the diver to rest at the surface in-between dives with ease.

The Cudajet not only offers unparalleled freedom to explore the underwater world, it also gives the feeling of weightless flight which enables moves like smooth barrel rolls underwater. With its unique mounts, the diver controls the direction of travel, it’s as simple as looking where you want to go and your body will follow. With its compact and size that packs a speed of up to 3.0 m/s and thrust of 40kg, Cudajet will redefine the concept of free diving.

Siyam World guests can now enjoy the unparalleled freedom of exploring the underwater world in style and speed at USD 149 for 20 minutes or USD 166 for 30 minutes. From a simple fun dive excursion or a more in-depth course from our Cudajet-qualified Dive Temple , guests are able to learn advanced movements and start the journey of receiving Cudajet qualifications right on the island resort.

Siyam World is an unapologetically quirky, all-embracing five-star all-inclusive island destination that transcends cultures and borders to offer guests an ever-expanding array of ‘never-seen-before’ experiences – from the Indian Ocean’s biggest floating water park to the Maldives’ first resort horse ranch.

The natural 54-hectare island resort boasts an enticing variety of 18 accommodation categories ranging from 89 to 3,000 sq m from lush Pool Beach Villas, expansive Beach Suites and breath-taking Beach Residences to playful overwater Villas complete with irresistible water slides.

An exclusive enclave, The Beach House Collection, also features stunning Grand Water Pavilions and the magnificent Palace. All accommodation types overlook the pristine Maldivian waters, come with direct access to the ocean and feature generously proportioned indoor and outdoor living spaces with private pools.

Umair Badheeu sets new, national freediving record at AIDA Philippines National Championship

Published

on

Maldivian freediver Umair Badheeu has achieved a new national record with a dive to a depth of 62 meters in the bi-fin category. His accomplishment was made possible with the support of Kaimoo Resorts and Hotels, a key sponsor and advocate for Umair’s pursuit of excellence in freediving.

Competing among 14 international participants, Umair’s performance not only secured a new national record but also surpassed his previous bi-fin category record of 60 meters by a margin of two meters.

Reflecting on the challenges of transitioning from his training in Egypt to competing in the Philippines, Umair said: “Adapting to reduced buoyancy due to warmer waters and encountering jellyfish were part of the new environment.”

This marks the third national record Umair has achieved. He previously set two national records of 62 and 64 meters in the free immersion category of free diving at the Andrea Zuccari World Cup held in Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt in October. Free immersion freediving is a discipline that requires divers to descend and ascend pulling a rope.

Umair’s switch from training in free immersion in Egypt to the bi-fin category for this tournament demonstrated his adaptability: “It felt like shifting gears, utilising distinct techniques, and returning to a more familiar discipline. This dive marks a confident depth for me, focusing not just on depth but also on refining dive times for a more enjoyable experience,” he remarked.

“Kaimoo’s support has been instrumental, offering me the freedom to train. This support has allowed me to focus on honing my skills and achieving new heights in my freediving,” Umair added.

“Umair’s third record-breaking dive this year is a testament to his exceptional skill and determination. Kaimoo is thrilled to continue supporting Umair’s journey in the world of freediving. His achievements inspire us, and we congratulate him on this impressive feat, looking for-ward to his continued success,” said Mohamed Manih Ahmed, Kaimoo’s Managing Director.

With this record-breaking achievement, Umair now looks forward to a period of rest before gearing up for the upcoming freediving season.

Kaimoo Resorts and Hotels is a leading tourism company in the Maldives that manages five properties across the country. In addition to Embudu Village and Summer Island Maldives, Kaimoo also operates Equator Village in Addu Atoll, and the Mookai Hotel and Mookai Suites in Male’.
