A real taste of the variety of dive sites in the Maldives

Some really nice dives with sharks and some great manta ray encounters. I would note that many of the dive profiles on this trip are challenging due to depth and current. But the briefings were very helpful and none of the dives felt over the top. There were a couple of disappointments when expected creatures didn't show up but that is the way of life in the ocean.

Recommended for
The boat and dive crew were both outstanding. Plenty of fresh food options. Comfortable cabins.

Incredible guides and service

In terms of diving, every spot we went to was fantastic. Guides made sure all divers were well prepared, and we were well looked after underwater. The Dhoni was fantastic quality and all crew members aboard the dhoni were always helpful. Aboard the Aggressor, the cabins were really good, very comfortable and spacious. Food was of a high standard and we enjoyed chef’s presentations every evening. I wouldn’t have enjoyed this trip as much as I did if it wasn’t for every member of the crew

Top diving, top crew, great boat & organisation

The night dive, anchored with lights attracting rays & sharks was special, likewise the dive of the former “fish factory”, where we were swarmed by rays but also encountered tigers & hammerheads was great. Overall, the quality of diving was superb, with the all round planning & organisation making sure that the experience was wholly trouble-free.

Recommended for
The diving was well sequenced & first rate; the crew friendly & attentive; accommodation excellent.

Aggressor always provides a fantastic experience all around. Did not had a negative experience after being seven times on an Aggressor ship.

The diving itself was breathtaking, with crystal clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and an incredible variety of marine life. We saw schools of colorful tropical fish, manta rays, whale sharks, and even a few playful dolphins. The water was warm and calm, making for ideal diving conditions. One of the highlights of the trip were the night dives, which allowed us to witness the nocturnal habits of the marine life. We witnessed a variety of creatures, including lobsters, crabs, and octopuses that they had never seen before.

Recommended for
Outstanding staff, vessel and the dive spots, and food. Marine life was overwhelming. I have never seen such a diversity and quantity of fish and schools. Beautiful location with calm seas warm water and great visibility.
