A beautiful holiday..

We finished the cruise on the Princess Sara today. It was a positive experience in everything: comfort of the room, quality of the food consumed on board (with attention in the preparation of gluten-free food for a celiac person), precision in the description of the places and type of dive you were about to do, fantastic underwater environments. A special thanks goes to Matteo and Flavio for their kindness and availability, as well as to the boat staff.

Wonderful week of diving aboard the Princess Sara!

Superb week spent aboard the Princess Sara! Thank you to all the crew and guides for these amazing dives.My plane was rescheduled to arrive in the afternoon instead of in the morning, but the crew of the Princess Sara came to pick me up directly at the airport at no extra cost. It was really very appreciableThe Princess Sara is a spacious boat with plenty of space and there is room not to feel cramped. The crew pays constant attention to the well-being and safety of passengers. The service is really excellent on all levels. The Dhoni is large enough for everyone to store their equipment and equip themselves easily and the crew of the Dhoni is always attentive during the launching and re-boarding phases.Most dive sites are 15 - 20 minutes from Dhoni from the Princess Sara.On the way back from the dive site, I advise you to go to the rooftop of the dhoni to admire the view of the sea, the turquoise lagoon and the view of the atolls.Meals are served in the form of a wide variety of buffets, vegetables, meat and fish at all meals.Let's talk about the dives! for the most part they are magnificent. Some sites are particularly rich in corals, the Fesdu Wrek wreck is magnificent. Kuda Kah Thila had a density of corals and reef fish, tuna, grey sharks, white tip, black tip. It was incredible. The static night dive with the mantas is really nice and imprints beautiful images in the retina.In May, the visibility underwater is a little less good. The dives in the passes are a little more random depending on the current if it comes from the ocean or if it comes out of the lagoon, you will be able to admire more or less pelagics, but if you are lucky, it can really be a festival of sharks, eagle rays, tuna, Barracudas etc...Not a dive without admiring the reef sharks. The South Male Atoll allowed us to come across a lot of hawksbill turtles.The Tank Shark site in Male allowed us to come across hammerhead sharks and guitar sharks.The highlight of the show is the snorkeling AND diving encounter with whale sharks. It was really magical. On some sites, especially in the Kandus (passes), on the atoll of Vaavu, the coral reef is really very very damaged and the corals are 80% dead but these dives have the interest of being able to admire sharks and eagle rays in the current.The briefings were really detailed with an emphasis on safety and respect for the fauna and flora.To make the most of your cruise, I recommend having an Advance Open Water and a Nitrox certification to limit fatigue. Most dives start around 25-30m and end in the 10-15m zone. An Open Water does not allow you to enjoy the richness of all the sites in my opinion.To sum up: definitely the most beautiful diving experience for me, a great liveaboard experience and a MUST for all lovers of sharks, rays, and pelagics in general.

The variety of dives and the presence of pelagics on each of them. The good knowledge of the dive sites by the guide and the emphasis on safety and quality of briefing. The quality of the service on board, the kindness of the crew.
