Best diving experience ever!!!
I really really enjoyed this trip and will definitely pick this boat next time when I come to Maldives for diving safari. The crew is super nice and attentive. They really did everything to provide us the best experience, including food, choices of diving sites, briefing, assessing the conditions and navigation. Super thanks to our guide Naathi, who is very good at looking for interesting things and knowledgeable about the marine life!!!We saw large groups of nurse sharks, sting rays and a couple of times of manta! The last two nights we even snorkeled with three whale sharks! Very unique experience! This trip basically fulfilled all my wishes！

A no-brainer (value for money-wise) for visiting the Central Atolls.
It's all about your adventures on a liveaboard, and our dive guide, Nathi, made all of our dreams of a great adventure come true. The cabins were spacious and well air-conditioned, the food was plentiful and delicious, and the boat was very comfortable.

All around recommended
Nightdive, apart from massive amounts of people there were as many sharks. Early morning dives are the best to wake up. Great group atmosphere. Nice cold beer in the evening.
