Great experiential dive cruise in Maldivian waters
As a repeater, I have now been to the Maldives for the 8th time with 189 dives completed there out of my total of 1255 dives as a hobby diver.Personally, I liked the Central Tour very much again and I felt very comfortable, not least because of the only 14 and very pleasant diving guest troops.With their professional diving experience, Naathi and Chaaku are the right dive guides for me for relaxed diving in the Maldivian waters with NX32 and with the fantastic manta rays and the "usual other fish".Draft beer after diving and a sumptuous tasty food offer, with good crew care, left nothing to be desired for me.My holiday conclusion is once again everything done😎🇲🇻👍 right
