Worth visiting again! Everything is above expectation and really good value for money. The boat might show signs of aging but everything still works well.
The night dive with manta is one of the main attraction of the trip, it was specially arranged and chances to spot them are relatively high. Whale shark also appear with high chances. There will be a night where the BBQ dinner will be at the beach, it was not inclusive in the package but only cost 5 usd per person.

Maldives on a budget
A dancing shark and the Manta night "dive". For better or worse what you get is the itenary, nothing more but maybe a little less depending on nature and how the dive guides feel that day.

3rd time on this boat, love it!
Each time/trip the dive guides were different but they are always very helpful and make every dive an awesome experience. Maldivian reefs are gorgeous, you never get tired of them. Highly recomend this boat and destination. This time it was the central route.
