Maldives Deep South
We really enjoyed our Deep South liveaboard and all the new dive sites. Tiger sharks were an amazing experience. Compared to the Central atolls, South is incredibly peaceful and you only rarely see other divers at the dive sites.

Much more than expected!
I started this journey without expectations but I found special people in the crew, beautiful activities, amazing dive sites and great food on board. Checco, Irey, Muhey and everyone helped us to enjoy this experience at the best and they made it! A lot of beautiful dive sites, deserts islands where to chill, kayak, paddle board, fish. The boat is huge, with a lot of good common spaces, and nice rooms. Internet works most of the time. I recommend Ocean One and Checco’s crew 100%!

Great people
Great people on board and went to great extent to make a non French speaker at home. Clean room and common area. Food wise, the choice is limited guess cos maldives itself import most food except fishes, banana and coconut.

Great trip!
I had a great trip. The other guests were French speaking but the guides (also French) went out of their way to keep me involved and informed. The staff were happy and keen to help too.

Wow! What an amazing experience!
I had such an amazing trip with Ocean 1. From start to finish, the crew and intructors were exceptional. So friendly and cannot do enough to make your experience the best it can be. For the few English speakers onboard (majority French onboard), attention was taken by all, but particularly by Luli who looked after us and made sure we understood our briefings and itinerary. She guided us on most of our dives and was very caring, helpful, and fun. I love her respect for the ocean & only wished every diver could appreciate marine life as much as her. The diving was insane... we seen so much and the majority of the dive sites were amazing. Even from the back of the boat on an evening- we had mantas, whale sharks, nurse sharks and dolphins. The dives were occasionally challenging however, therefore not suitable for those who don't have much experience- advanced minimum. The Donhi crew were great, very helpful and friendly. Special mention to Akram, super attentive and talented barman who kept the fun going throughout the evenings with his tasty cocktails. The jacuzzi- coupled with incredible shooting stars most evenings was a great addition. The cabins were very comfortable, though would benefit from some reef safe shower gel/ shampoo etc. dispensers. The food was lovely, there was so much of it! Fresh fish dishes caught from the boat, chicken and vegetarian options. We had additional activities like kayaking to a local island and beach time, and a trip to a sandbar for apero time which was brilliant. All in all it was a fabulous trip! And one I would definitely recommend to other diving friends! Thanks again to Luli & Checco who made this trip as fun as it was x

Memorable weeks diving.
My second trip on the liveaboard and it opened to my eyes as to what might be potentially expected in the future, from a personnel point of view in terms of competence and ability. Extremely difficult to find fault in any of the operational organisation and equipment. It was truly an amazing week.

- The atmosphere on board was exceptional.. The group I was diving with were all experienced diverse, so we had no issues from a competance point of view or confidence. The diversity of the dives was amazing and there was a little bit of everything..

Exceeded my expectations, great liveaboard!
Was on the central maledives cruise starting December 4th 2023 and it was an absolute blast! The boat is in great condition and very spacious. Food was superb - Buffet for breakfast and lunch, set menu for dinner. The crew catered for all special diets like vegan food perfectly. The dives were phenomenal. Channel and thila dives with dozens of grey sharks, eagle ray, manta rays, whaleshark, turtles, octopus, so nothing else to wish for. You should consider that there are many dives at 30m with very strong currents, and with four instructors for 20-30 guests, you should be comfortable to dive alone with your buddy in challenging conditions. The guests and instructors were mostly French natives. But Lucila, one of the instructors, mostly took care of the six international guests. She did an amazing job to make sure that all info and briefings were provided in English and that we had a great time under water and on board. Thanks Lucila and the whole team for such a great experience!
