Awesome adventure!
Excellent. Should note however this is a predominantly Italian boat so be prepared if not an Italian speaker (although all guides speak English too). Food is all Italian - would be nice to have some local Maldivian food on occasion too. Other than this, trip was perfect, diving awesome. Great crew on board, Super welcoming and friendly, very well organised. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

A beautiful, friendly, feel-good experience with amazing dives
Dhonkamana has visiting the islands down a rhythm. The core is based around about three dives a day, and three square Italian style meals a day. Each day we jump to a new location such as an atoll and get in between 2-4 dives from her support dhoni, Savari. Dives are amazing, including pinnacles, coral reefs, cleaning stations, and much more. Maldives still have an abundance of color fish, sharks, mantas, and much more. Feasting from the on board chefs happen on the back deck, and we never wanted for ample good quality pasta, fish, meats, fruits and more. In between that we fit in some visits to tiny islands, beaches,sandbars, a local town, and a nighttime barbecue. The dive guides are capable and friendly and we even got some additional PADI training and certifications. The top dives were probably the night dive with a dozen car-sized mantas doing underwater flips to eat, and a pinnacle with thousands of yellow snappers. All this for a very competitive price too. No guarantees, but this trip the guests had a very friendly vibe and team spirit too. All told a Dhonkamana trip is an easy recommend.

Absolutely Fantastic!
Manta rays and sharks, sharks, sharks and a whale shark too. So many fish and sea life. Many different types of dives and dive conditions. Great Dive Masters and boat crew, fantastic food, daily stops to deserted islands. I had such a good time, can't wait to book again.
