Duration

Guests
2–4 Guests
Location
Multiple Atolls — North to South
A liveaboard trip for keen divers — ten nights on the water, moving between atolls and diving four to five times a day with an experienced guide. You'll have the chance to see manta rays, reef sharks, and, in season, whale sharks. Cabins are en-suite and all meals are included. Best suited to certified divers, though we're happy to advise if you're newer to it.
Experiences included
Transfer from Velana Airport to the harbour. Board your liveaboard by noon, meet the crew and your fellow divers. Safety briefing and gear setup. Afternoon check dive in the harbour. Set sail north as the sun goes down. Welcome dinner under the stars.
Wake at dawn as the vessel anchors above your first site. Three dives across the atoll's outer wall — blacktip reef sharks, Napoleon wrasse, and sweeping soft coral gardens. Night dive: witness the reef transform after dark as bioluminescent plankton lights your fins.
Two-hour sail to Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This is among the world's greatest manta ray aggregation sites. Four dives, including the famous Hanifaru Bay channel where hundreds of mantas gather to feed. An experience with no equal.
A second day in Baa for those who want more time with the mantas — or to explore the atoll's pristine coral gardens and caves. Optional village visit in the evening.
Overnight sail to South Ari. This atoll hosts the highest concentration of whale sharks anywhere on earth — year-round. Up to five dives today, with multiple whale shark encounters virtually guaranteed. The largest fish in the ocean, gentle and unhurried.
Explore the outer walls of South Ari — dramatic drop-offs, grey reef sharks, and pelagic species in the blue. Afternoon dive at a world-class wreck site. Sunset drinks on the upper deck as the crew prepares a BBQ dinner.
The Vaavu Atoll channels offer some of the Maldives' most exhilarating drift diving — let the current carry you through a cathedral of fish. Four dives, including the legendary Fotteyo channel.
Two remote southern atolls rarely visited by dive tourism. Pristine, uncrowded, and extraordinary. Expect hammerheads at depth, schools of trevally, and reefs in perfect condition.
Slow cruise northward with two final dives at sites en route. Farewell dinner. The crew shares stories. Divers compare logbooks.
Arrive back at Malé harbour by 8am. Transfer to the airport. The ocean stays with you long after you leave.
