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.

All the Big Fish
we saw them all: Mantas, Stingrays, Eagle-Rays, Turtles, Baracudas, Napoleons, all sorts of Sharks and even a whale shark - and all in a very calm, professional and relaxing atmosphere where also beginners always felt save and experienced divers didn't feel restricted. Also room for non-divers and snorklers. Had a GREAT time!

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

Sachika is a great liveaboard
I had an amazing experience. I have been on liveaboards all over the world and this was one of my favorites in terms of the dive itinerary. The ship was well kept, the staff was friendly and helpful (esp. Hassan & Bebe), and the food was amazing. We also had a lovely mix of divers from all over the world and I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my trip!

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 !

AMAZING Crew & Diving
The crew very competent, very friendly, helpful, unobtrusive with everything, as it should be.The dive sites were very well chosen. Especially to "lie" in the night between nurse sharks was unique until the last dive surrounded by rays.
