Highlights
The EcoPro Mariana is a traditional Maldivian safari boat that offers guests the best diving and comfort in the Maldives. The boat is 28 meters/100 feet long and has 9 cabins, each with its bathroom and air-conditioning. There are 3 decks and outdoor dining. A second boat accompanies the EcoPro Mariana while carrying the dive gear, and it takes the divers to the sites. This allows for more comfort and quiet on the main boat. The EcoPro Mariana takes a maximum of 16 guests to provide the best service possible. The crew is well-trained in eco-conscious activities, and onboard guests are offered biodegradable shampoo and reusable items like straws. Drinking water production is through a reverse osmosis system. EcoPro Mariana also collaborates with NGOs like Parley for the Oceans and Manta Trust to help protect the delicate underwater marine life and corals.
The boat travels to the best atolls in the Maldives, including North Male, South Male, North Ari, South Ari, Vaavu, (Rasdhoo), and others, depending on the season. The EcoPro Mariana offers year-round tours with experienced guides who take guests to see the best that the Maldives offers. Drift dives, wrecks, pinnacles, world-famous night dives, and swimming with manta rays and whale sharks are some of the diving experiences EcoPro Mariana guests enjoy.

Roy was so awesome and such a good guide. The crew was very hard working and kept the boat very clean. Food was the best liveaboard food i’ve ever had. 10/10 favorite liveaboard i’ve ever been on. The crew was so amazing.

A good diving trip experience
Very good, but diving guide can be improved. Two diving guides should be more coordinated. Trip plan can be better. Several sites were visited 2 times.

Amazing trip!
The diving was excellent! We saw mantas on several dives, so many sharks, eagle rays, turtles and much more. We even encountered a tiger shark on the last dive.

It doesn't get any better than this (November 2024)
We booked our diving holidays in the last week of November 2024 on the Mariana. On the boat we dived to 5. So we had plenty of space. Maggy and Roi were very knowledgeable the whole time. I don't have to list every detail. Afterwards we were on Kuramati for 2 weeks. The food was certainly not bad but no comparison to Mariana. We will certainly go back on a boat where the Maggy and the Roi are on it. The Mariana has exactly the charm we expected. Everything clean and well maintained. So this combination is hard to top from my point of view. Many thanks to everyone for this beautiful week.

An Excellent Choice for Those Wanting to Explore the Far South Reaches of the Maldives
The 14 day trip is for advanced divers only. Because of the strong current you are typically not under the supervision of a divemaster. The dive operation on board had a few replacement parts but you should be prepared with your own spare parts and extra equipment. The operation was very efficient and you can expect to spend a lot of time underwater.

A good trip for varied diving in the Maldives with an experienced dive guide and professional crew
The stand out dive was the night dive with the Manta's. Spending an hour just watching them dance in front of your eyes was amazing. Everybody on the boat was super amazed.
