Phenomenal dives with a capable knowledgable crew.
The night dive with sharks was incredible. 40 or so nurse sharks just swimming through the group. As long as you keep your light off the sharks will come pretty close and you can still see pretty well without a light. Snorkeling with a whaleshark. Manta cleaning station. Hanging out with the crew. Having any and all needs predicted and ameliorated before I even knew I'd need them.

Lots of dive experiences rolled into one great week
We were able to see mantas, whale sharks, a variety of reef sharks, sting rays, eagle rays, soft coral, hard coral and macro life all on one trip The dusk dive with the constant parade sharks and rays was a blast. Dive guide Chris was a joy. You can tell he loves diving, loves the Maldives, loves telling a great story and truly enjoys sharing his dive world with guests. He was always attentive to safety, both of his guests as well as the reef.
