Highlights
The 26m MV Emperor Atoll is perfect for divers who want a more personal experience diving in the Maldives. The M/V Emperor Atoll accommodates a maximum of 12 guests in 6 double or twin cabins with air-conditioning and en-suite bathrooms. The main deck offers a comfortable salon, a spacious seating area, and a 38” LCD flat-screen TV with a multi-system home theatre surround sound and a DVD library. There is a large, partially shaded sun deck with comfortable sun loungers and a large swim platform with ladders giving easy access to the water, so you can relax in comfort in between dives. There is only one deck, so the boat is more stable with less ‘roll’.
Emperor Atoll's itineraries cover the ‘Best of Maldives’ with 7-nights of diving around the iconic sites of North Male, South Male, and Ari Atoll. Highlights include hammerhead dives at Rasdhoo, looking for whale sharks in South Ari, and channel diving at Vaavu. The accompanying dhoni makes extra room on board and easy getting to and from the dive site. Nitrox is included for free for those certified.
