Shark mania
Very satisfied of what we see during the trip, tiger shark, bull shark, silver tip shark, whaleshark and hundreds of reef sharks! Big shout out to our lovely dive guide Maria! so considerate of each person's feelings, and so professional underwater as well. Making the diving each more enjoyable. The boat itself is very clean, well organized, very cautious of safety. The little inconvenience is the check out time, everyone needs to disembark at 7am from the boat, while our flight is 2:20pm, which means we have to wait at the open area lobby of the airport without aircon for a very long time. So do well plan your flight time base on the disembark time.

Shark- and Manta-Tastic Week
Had a great week diving with Russ, Jacky and Issey- definitely lived up to the 'Sharkatstic' itinerary...with two great manta dives to boot. Alimatha Jetty and Rangali Madivaru are now in my Top 10 list. The cabin was comfortable, the boat was great, and Chandana and the staff kept us all well fed. Also had a great group of folks to dive with. Would gladly do it again.

Amazing diving, amazing boat & crew
Everything was top notch. I love the Maldives. We saw 6 species of sharks in one week and countless Mantas. Whale shark and hammerheads were to of my favorite along with the night dives with Mantas and Nurse Sharks. The diving guides are outstanding, thank you Andrea Reeko and Megan. Crew is great and the boat as well with great food the whole week.
