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 central and deep south atolls and dive at Male 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 and is full of whale sharks, scorpion fish, glassfish, reef sharks, Napoleon wrasse, green turtles, beautiful corals, dolphins, and more.

Five stars experience, five star service! I’ll be back again for Deep South trip
All dives are well organized some points are challenging but safe and relaxed! Excellent local dive guides! Shark dive and Manta dive are definitely my favorites. The boat is beautiful and spacious, I can always find my own spots to do yoga or reading for relax after each dive. The cruise manager is an amazing Italian young lady, she is also an very experienced dive guide who will take care of guests both on board and underwater!

Excellent trip !
I really enjoy all dives - very different from each other even if most of these were channel dives. I recommend this dive trip going to South - most of dives are only with Sachika divers. The crew is very nice and the dive guides know very well the spots. The boat is very comfortable - I was in a twin room and got a lot of space in comparison to other liveboards. And of course the diving here is great !

Really Wild Deep South on Sachika with plenty of Big Stuff!
We had a good time on Sachika. The boat is in good shape even if there is a lot of traditional dark wood everywhere. Everything worked fine. The dives with tiger sharks on the Tiger Wall was a proper highlight, as well as the encounters with eagle rays, whale sharks, and manta rays.

👍👍👍
The diving safari on the *Sachika* was simply fantastic! Martina's team was awesome and made the experience even more special. With four guides for our group of 22, everyone felt well taken care of and was grouped according to experience. Aiko, our guide, was a gem – he spotted everything, from big to small. What I especially liked: on the *Sachika*, they really value "natural" diving. Although baiting is prohibited in the Maldives, many boats still do it. But not the crew here! They prefer to get up earlier to avoid the crowds. They also strictly follow the speed limit in the protected areas to ensure whale sharks aren't harmed. Thanks to this wonderful crew, we still saw everything we wanted. I'll definitely be back!

Great experience, extremely friendly staff, Aiko the best dive guide you can imagine. Only Mande did not take great care under water and hot tempered afterwards.
Waking up on a boat and diving multiple times a day in one of the most beautiful dive spots you can imagine.

Would highly recommend Sachika. The dive sites were amazing - so many sharks & mantas. Big Ali and Martina are the best! The crew felt like family. The boat was comfortable with enough space for everyone. There was even wifi! Food was tasty. 10/10 out recommend.
