Conte Max · Maldives · 4 Days / 3 Nights
A short 4-day, 3-night Central Atolls sampler aboard M/Y Conte Max with approximately 5 dives. The cruise departs Malé and explores the reefs of the Central Atolls — typically North and South Malé, Vaavu (Felidhoo) and/or Ari — known for healthy reefs, drift diving along channels (kandus), grey reef and whitetip reef sharks, turtles, schooling fish and seasonal manta or whale shark encounters. The operator does not publish a fixed day-by-day schedule for this short trip; the exact sites are chosen daily by the cruise director based on weather, currents and group experience.
Malé / Central Atolls
A Conte Max representative meets guests at Malé International Airport and transfers them by dhoni to the yacht. The vessel typically leaves port around 2:00 PM and guests complete a check dive, followed by the welcome briefing from the cruise director. Lunch and dinner are served on board depending on arrival time.
