Highlights
The Sachika liveaboard, by Top Class Cruising, is a 33-meter/108-feet custom-built liveaboard that has been awarded the “Best Dive Safari Boat " by the National Boating Association of the Maldives for two editions. The Sachika has 10 cabins, including 3 suites, 1 junior suite, 4 standard double or twin cabins, and 2 twin cabins, catering to 22 guests. Each cabin has an air conditioner, en-suite bathroom, mini-bar, and private entertainment hubs.
The sundeck with its jacuzzi is perfect for relaxation between dives and stargazing at night. Meals are served in the A/C restaurant, and guests can sip on some tasty cocktails while lounging on the aft deck. The trailing dhoni (a traditional Maldivian vessel) is used for diving and keeping all the tanks and compressors separate, so travelers can sleep. A full snorkeling itinerary for non-divers includes activities like fishing, beach visits, and treks.
Aboard the Sachika, guests will cruise through the central and deep south atolls and dive at the Malé Atolls, Rasdhoo, Meemu, and Ari Atolls. The cruise sets out to the south with the exploration of a trawler that sank three decades ago and became a home for the local needlefish and scorpionfish. In the western part of the atoll, it is easy to meet manta rays coming close to the reef to enjoy the many cleaning stations. The sea is rich in marine life, home to whale sharks, scorpionfish, glassfish, reef sharks, Napoleon wrasse, green turtles, beautiful corals, dolphins, and more.

Good overall
This is my first dive trip. The room was clean. Food was delicious. We see manta, shark... Its amazing. However, Divers' abilities vary greatly. We have people within 20dives, but also people that are instructor level. Making it difficuit to dive with people with simular level. But overall the dives are grate and it was a once in a lifetime experience.

Wonderful Liveaboard!
The boat was gorgeous and the staff were so patient and friendly with all of us. Special shoutout to the chef who very kindly made me a passionfruit mousse on the last day because it was absolutely delicious when I tried it on the second day. All the dive guides and dhoni boat staff were so kind and patient with a rookie like me, so incredibly grateful for their help. All of the staff really did everything possible to make the stay incredibly comfortable for each of us, rooms were tidied twice a day!

This was a great trip. The weather conditions were challenging, often with rainy and windy conditions, but the crew adjusted the schedule so that we got the most out of our trip. Given the conditions, the diving was excellent with a variety of abundant marine life including sharks, turtles, octopus, and reef fishes. Absolute highlights were the two night dives with mantas and sharks. Seeing mantas that close up and personal was an experience of a lifetime. Fortunately, the weather conditions allowed for a fantastic barbecue on the beach under a start-light sky with awesome food, drinks, and a sand sculptured whale shark! All in all a great experience!

- Diving, especially the two night dives with mantas and sharks were awesome!. Friendly and accommodating crew, excellent food, great atmosphere, good dive briefings, and several very informative presentations about marine life.. Good accommodations and service. The barbecue on the beach was a non-diving trip highlight..

Brilliant from start to finish, truly Manta madness etched in my precious memories, thankyou.
Everything was brilliant, so impressed as nothing was overlooked including very informative dive briefings with great images of dive sites. Had daily yoga which was brilliant and helped my sore muscles after diving. Two beach BBQs which were spectacular, crew cooked up a great feed. Dives were all impressive saw so much including my 2 favourites manta n sharks. Great crew very helpful and friendly. Whole experience was just amazing and will etch a huge memory for my husband and I.

Super well organized liveaboard with insanely great dives!
Overall, the trip was an absolute highlight. Martina, the boat manager, and her crew really take care of their guests very lovingly. In addition, Sachika is very close to their hearts. Although Sachika is a slightly older lady, she is impeccably cared for and in top condition. On board, we also try to live as environmentally friendly as possible. For example, there are glass straws and glass bottles and during our beach visit a bag of ocean plastic was collected and taken away. This is what you would really want from any safari boat! The food on board was just great. The kitchen crew was really in the kitchen all day and worked, which was also noticeable in the quality of the food. Even the dough is freshly prepared!But now to the dives: If you really want to have a very special shark experience, you should do the Deep South Tour. I have never seen so many different sharks during a diving holiday! Simply brilliant!There were all kinds of reef sharks, spinner sharks, leopard sharks, hammerhead sharks, a thresher shark and of course the huge tiger sharks, which I was particularly fond of. There was also an almost unbelievable number of green sea turtles. On one dive we saw around 25. For beginners, the dives might be a bit challenging due to strong currents and depth, but the guides take good care. One diver in our group was not quite comfortable with the currents, but the guide helped her confidently in all situations, so that she could enjoy all dives.Overall, the liveaboard was so good that I booked the next one on board, which I have never done before. I look forward to meeting Martina and her crew again in September!Jump negative think positive! :)Thank you so much for all the great experiences on board, the fun conversations and the unforgettable dives!!🫶🏻Stefanie
