Wonderful experience, I hope to do it again some day...
The nightdive with then sharks and rays; the bbq on the eiland, diving around South Ari Atoll; the manta ray coming in the evening to our boat; the amazing crew, who was always ready to fullfill any wishes; diving in the currents and seeing lots of sharks...and much more. The price made it possible for me to join; it is about the maximum I can afford...

Great liveaboard experience and diving trips
The first liveaboard diving experience was very good, although I didn't see whale sharks, but under the guidance of the guide, I still saw a lot of marine life, there were schools of nurse sharks, turtles, mantles, lionfish, etc., and I also felt the conscientious attitude of the staff on board, and the friendly smile of the guests, and was included in the list of friends who would recommend it in the future

An amazing experience
One of the better Liveaboard I have been on . The deletion of dive sites were top notch. Despite the rain and the bad weather playing it’s hanky panky we still had such an amazing time and would most definite recommend this live aboard to divers who want to experience the beauty of the central atolls of the Maldives . Thank you Hugo and Sara got Making this trip so memorable . I promise I will return soon
