Fantastic Week of Diving in the Maldives
This was my first experience of a liveaboard dive safari and it was simply superb. The crew did everything to make the daily dives and relaxation on the ship joyful and enjoyable. Meeting and communicating with new interesting people made this trip unforgettable!

The perfect little ruiseship
Highlights were many, diving with three tiger sharks was clearly one. Seeing a 4.5 meter shark coming out of the blue, and passing by on close range was quite exciting. Having a whale shark swimming up one of the channels and passing a few meters overhead, while hanging on to a reef, and having both eagle rays and manta rays getting cleaned above us, with 5 reef sharks playing around was another highlight. Being with a great group of people on the boat, diving with them on a daily basis, and having some very experienced dive masters was however the best part of it all. A lot of repeat customers, and a great time all over. I had such a great time, I tried to extend my stay for another week or two. Would absolutely recommend for anyone waiting to explore diving in the Maldives.

Absolutely loved the variety of different dives sites the crew chose for us.
I really liked how the crew was able to tweak the itinerary based on what we wanted, but also based on weather and tides. It showed they wanted us to have the best experience possible. They made sure we had the best chances of encountering whale sharks, mantas and other beautiful sea creatures (we did manage to see all of the above). Would totally recommend this trip for both divers and snorkelers.

Great all in all experience
Amazing Trip! Most guest arent divers. There is a program for divers and non divers. We were 3 divers and they made 2-3 dives every day including boat rides just for us. The divesites are fantastic. They told us the Diving in the second week (maamigili to Male) ist better thank the first week. We Just did the first but even this was amazing. The crew ist great and the food was amazing.

An absolutely beautiful experience of the underwater world of the Maldives, lead by a friendly and helpful crew.
Swimming with whale sharks and manta rays. Seeing beautiful intact coral reefs. Meeting fellow passengers, the majority of which were repeat visitors. It was great fun!
