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.

Best of Central Maldives - an all-round super experience!
Sachika is a 20 year old boat but has more than enough amenities and space to satisfy for a week of diving, which is what you are there for [fantastic marine life presentations onboard added to the interest and value of the dives - which can be considered high praise from someone who has delivered countless presentations working as a diver]. Most importantly was the attention to detail regarding safety, quality of diving/guides and the service from all staff; which was absolutely outstanding - starting with Martina taking care of me at the airport [Martina actually works on Princess Maani] to the attention to detail on the dives & support from crew on the dive dhoni. Service crew onboard were wonderful & even if we had not seen the incredible marine life we did on most of the dives [more than one 12+ fever of eagle ray, dozens of sharks & the amazing Manta ray experiences on four of the dives], they would have made the trip worthwhile. Great set of fellow guests/divers onboard for my trip & super atmosphere. Special mention must be given to Moksh, Hassan and Luigi who are outstanding people and boat manager/dive guides - 'No problem!'

The crew on board Sachika are totally committed to ensuring you have the best Maldives' experience possible - I couldn't recommend them more highly.
This was our 3rd liveaboard dive cruise in the Maldives and by far our best one. The crew went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience, both above and below the water. A fantastic week!

Safety - the boat director ensured that everything on board and under water was handled with the highest safety standards in mind, without compromising the flow of the experience.. The crew - they were all great. Happy, attentive and professional..

Dream stay in total disconnection
All the crew members took great care of us, having at heart that our stay went perfectly. Available and always smiling. Incredible dives: the choice of dive sites very judicious, the impression of being alone despite the number of tourists. The concern for the preservation of the place, always diving with respect for the sites. The richness of the proposals: BBQ or sea bass on an island, information on the species encountered (manta rays, sharks...), information on the country.... In the evening, snorkeling with a whale shark, manta rays, sharks,

Great crew, good diving and plenty of grey reef sharks. We didn’t get very lucky with the mantas, but we did see them. The food was tasty, although a little repetitive. The boat is older, but overall
We had a great time on the liveaboard in the Maldives. The crew was fantastic, friendly and always helpful. We weren’t particularly lucky with the manta encounters, but we did see them, and there were plenty of grey reef sharks around, which was amazing. The food was tasty overall, although it became a little repetitive after a few days. The boat is definitely on the older side, but we were told that the company is planning to replace it with a newer one soon. Overall, a great diving trip with an excellent crew and some memorable underwater experiences.

The diving, the food, the other guests. GREAT WEEK!
This was our 6th live-board and every time we look forward to a week full of diving, good food and meeting other divers with their stories and experiences. The Sachika is a pleasant boat with a service-oriented crew where our expectations were met. The weather conditions were not ideal, but the tour leader responded to this cleverly. Despite sometimes strong winds, clouds and strong waves, we were able to dive 20 beautifully. Highlights for us were the night dive with plankton-eating mantas and the night dive with hunting sharks and tuna. This trip we saw many mantas, various species of sharks, octopuses, turtles, the Fesdu wreck and beautiful reefs. As a bonus, we count the beach BBQ. We still don't know how the crew got all the honoring and drinking to the small island so quickly and unscathed. It was fantastic!The kitchen team is the linchpin of the boat anyway. All dishes were delicious and very varied. Two more top players: the captain of the Sachika and that of the Dhoni. It is an art to pick up divers from the water under these conditions and keep the big boat on course. Also worth mentioning are the lectures about mantas, sharks etc on board.We had cabin 9 on the upper deck. Wonderfully spacious, sea view, large bathroom and twice daily cleaning. Pure luxury.A week of diving with the Sachika: you look forward to it for a long time and you think back to it with a big smile.Thanks to the crew from week 9-16 May 2026. You guys are amazing!!!

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 !
