The 24m MY Sheena is an authentic Maldivian liveaboard catering to a maximum of 14 guests and running world-class, year-round diving safaris in the amazing southern atolls of the Maldives. Aboard the M/Y Sheena liveaboard divers will get the chance to explore some of the best dive sites the Maldives has to offer, including Meemu Atoll, North & South Male Atolls, the unexplored Gaafu Alifu Atoll and even up to Felidhoo Atoll. Divers can enjoy up to 3 action packed dives per day aboard the M/Y Sheena and due to the small number of guests on board trips are always very individual, with the opportunity to dive with Whale Sharks, Hammerheads, Manta Rays and more!

The M/Y Sheena undergoes renovation twice per year, ensuring guest comfort and satisfaction. Topside there is plenty of room for relaxation aboard the MY Sheena, with a spacious indoor saloon and four sundecks, with a choice of shaded or unshaded areas. Three meals per day will be served 'family style' on the large table located outside at the stern, or guests can enjoy meals in the indoor saloon if preferred. The 9 experienced and friendly crew aboard the M/Y Sheena are on hand to help you create a memorable scuba diving liveaboard trip in the Maldives. Book today.

As a regular visitor to the Maldives 25+ visits, mainly liveaboards, standards were comparable to other trips.

Grey reef sharks. Although currents not favorable as outgoing in channels. Time of year and luck of the draw. Alimathi jetty night dive with nurse sharks. Even after a fourth time, never disappoints.

Wonderful trip to a unique and beautiful part of the Maldives

Channel diving- challenging but rewarding! The local boat crew and dive guides really made the trip - nothing was too difficult, and their experience of the reef was invaluable.

Great diving in the south

Diving was phenomenal and most places there was no one else in site. The diving felt relaxed but professional and guest focused. I never felt rushed or like we were hurried through the dive by a bored DM. On each dive we would stay until a guest was low on air or the hour was up. Ali was always happy to be diving and very helpful but not obtrusive. On a couple of occasions one of us had a bit of trouble while swimming against a hard current. He was right by your side but waiting to see if you neede him or not. Boat crew was excellent offering help but not over eager. The staff on the boat were so attentive and considerate or your individual preferences. You really only had to tell them once how you liked your coffee! Due to a staff illness there was a crew change mid week, this was seamless. I would travel on this boat again and in fact can’t wait to visit again! Mantas and more as well as sharks tongue were my favourite dive sites. So special! Mantas and more is aptly named but sharks tongue should be renamed whale sharks tongue! Consider staying at the island resort for some extended diving!
