Huge and luxury ship, filled with a great crew
11/10 would do again! White Pearl did deliver all I could have hoped for. From the gargantuan vessel to the the top level crew and guides, everything was set for an ultra comfortable trip right from the start. Also, Hadrien as Cruise Director made last minute changes to the route, accounting for weather to ensure the best possible experience for us.

One of the best holidays I have had
The experience was excellent from start to finish. We were picked up on time at Male airport. The transfer and check-in experience onboard was seamless. Dive groups were assigned for Day 1, with some changes for Day 2 once the guides had a better understanding of everybody's experience and comfort underwater, which was a really nice touch...ensuring everybody got the best experience possible. The boat itself is incredible and I would definitely consider booking it again, as well as the other vessels in the Pearl Fleet. It is not the cheapest boat in the Maldives, but you get what you pay for right down to the quality of rental equipment, should you need it. Overall, a fantastic experience.

The best Liveaboard experience
I had a wonderful week diving with White Pearl. The boat feels truly luxurious and the crew went out of their way to make the week special. The onboard spa is an excellent touch. I was even surprised with birthday celebrations during the week! Dives were exceptional and the guides were very knowledgeable of the sites and conditions. One of the best Liveaboard I’ve been on and I’d definitely book again.

Luxury Liveaboard
The beach bbq was awesome and the staff put so much effort into the small details. This was a great social event which was pivotal in bringing the whole group of 15 divers from various nationalities together socially. Diving with the mantas at Addu Madigaa , swimming with the whaleshark, getting up close with the tiger shark at Tiger Zoo and seeing a mass of shark activity at Villingili were some of the highlights of the trip

Excellent Liveaboard and exceptional diving conditions.
I have been diving for 59 years all over the world. Both tropical and northern cold water drysuit diving. I preferred the lower current type of dives within the atolls for marine tropical fish photography. The atoll channel diving is interesting but quite strenuous since reef hooks must be used once the appropriate depth and location is reached in order to establish a fixed vantage watch for pelagic fish, sharks, rays to pass by the dive group. Lots of divers and lots of boat traffic. Be experienced at deploying your SMB!!!

Great Deep South diving, nice crew and a beautiful spacious new liveaboard
My wife and I did the 8D/7N Deep South trip on the White Pearl and had a great experience overall. The boat itself is quite new and the cabins are excellent for a liveaboard. They are very spacious, the beds are huge and extremely comfortable, and everything felt modern and well maintained. One thing that stood out right at the beginning was the safety briefing. It was probably one of the most comprehensive and well-structured briefings we have had on a liveaboard. The dive operation in general felt very professional and well organized. The dive guides and the rest of the crew were fantastic. The dive groups were small, the guiding was relaxed but attentive, and the overall group dynamic between guests and crew was great. Everyone got along really well which created a very enjoyable atmosphere on the boat throughout the week. The food was also very good with plenty of variety. We especially enjoyed the local dishes. If I had one small suggestion it would be to include even more Maldivian food – for example mashuni as a regular breakfast option is an easy one. The diving itself was great with lots of sharks and action typical for the Deep South with many different sharks. The only minor downside was that the dive sites could have been a bit more varied. We ended up doing 5 of the 18 dives at the same two sites, which slightly reduced the sense of exploration. Overall, we had a fantastic trip and really enjoyed our time on the White Pearl. We would definitely consider booking with them again.

You won't find a better liveaboard experience on a nicer yacht
This was one of my favorite live aboard dive boats I have ever been on. It is a brand new yacht that is so nice and luxurious. Marble overhead showers with a huge picture window looking out onto the sea. Soft and warm towels everywhere when you get out of the water. Always clean and always fresh to use when you get out of the water. An amazing therapist with a super cool spa room where it literally feels like you are 15’ under the water because of the ceiling (the name is 15ft under.) Great food. Strong drinks. Very, very attentive staff and dive masters that are helpful in every way possible and kind and always greet you with a smile. I don't know how they all smile so much ;-) But really, the staff is incredible no matter where you are on the boat. Sammy, Jude, Richi, Elena, Haaid, the Doni drivers, the cooks, everyone. It was such a wonderful trip. The rooms are incredible, with nice big super comfortable beds. Unlike many liveaboards I have ever been on. There is plenty of space for two people. I even shared a room with someone I didn't know and it was not an issue at all. The bathrooms were spacious like home. A very big comfortable Doni where it might have a ton of people on it, but because of the design, you would never know when in the water. Everyone leaves out from their groups exit on the boat and you never see them in the water. Tons of space that you never feel cramped or on top of each other. I happened to book the trip while already traveling with no scuba gear, and the rental gear was great and top-of-the-line. I couldn't be happier with the experience and would recommend this trip to anyone. And it was so affordable for what you get!

It was really beautiful!
Together with my father we had a great week on board the White Pearl. The diving in the malethieves was fantastic, but apart from the diving we really had nothing to complain about. The beach BBQ was great organized, the afternoon with the water activities was a super nice change and the food was great. Haaidh was a very nice guide and knew a lot about the underwater life. Safety was of paramount importance and was also propagated. For us an experience we will never forget and absolutely no regrets about our choice for the White Pearl.

Sets a new standard for liveaboards. 10/10.
I only ever want to dive on boats like this from now on. Incredibly luxurious and spacious. Private ensuite with a view from the shower that some people pay 10k/night for at a resort. Food was incredible too. Freshly cooked eggs to order every morning. Delicious meals 3 times / day - not your usual liveaboard fare. And the dive crew - who were knowledgable, relaxed, professional, and friendly - found all the best encounters for us. Mantas, whale sharks, tiger sharks, nudibranchs - everything you could ask for and much much more. The diving setup - including a huge separate dive boat with everyone’s gear pre-setup, was the most sophisticated and hassle-free I have ever experienced. I will be back again!
