Great trip

Night dive with mantas was excellent. Fish head dive site was full of fish life. I loved a dive that had 15 sharks swimming back and forth, with a squadron of seven eagle rays passing by. Kudos to our divemaster Deano for his ocean stewardship and his enthusiasm for finding sea life.

Best diving ever!

The night dive with mantas, and the different manta cleaning stations, snorkelling with the whalesharks and the sheer number of sharks I saw. We even saw a bow mouth guitar shark. The dive guides and the boat crew were amazing, I couldn't recommend them higher.

Fantastic diving safari covering some of the best of the Maldives

Snorkeling with whale sharks, Mantas and nurse sharks at night from the boat. Super night dive with Mantas. The boat and cabins are spacious and dive Dhoni very large and easy to dive from. The itinerary was best of Maldives and covered a great variety of diving and sites in the Central Atolls and great guides supported the diving to get the best from each dive.
