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!'

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!

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.

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..

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!!!
