Dining on board is a delightful experience, with a full-board plan that showcases a variety of local Maldivian dishes alongside familiar Western favorites. Meals are typically served in a buffet style, providing plenty of options to suit different tastes. Special dietary requirements, such as vegetarian or vegan needs, are accommodated with advance notice. Guests can enjoy a complimentary glass of wine, beer, or soft drink with their dinner, and the crew is always on hand to ensure a pleasant and relaxed dining atmosphere.
The diving experience in the Maldives is world-class, focusing on the vibrant channels and pinnacles of the Male and Ari Atolls. Divers can expect to encounter a diverse range of marine life, including manta rays, reef sharks, turtles, moray eels, and eagle rays, with seasonal opportunities to spot whale sharks and hammerheads. The itineraries are flexible, allowing the crew to select the best sites based on current conditions and recent sightings. Safety and convenience are prioritized with four dedicated dive guides and a large 24-meter dhoni that serves as a comfortable base for all water activities. The vessel is fully equipped for underwater photography, featuring dedicated camera stations and rinse tanks, while the availability of free Nitrox allows for longer, safer bottom times throughout the trip.

Dive Insurance (39 EUR per week) · Gratuities
Airport transfers are included in the trip price.
We strongly recommend all guests to purchase comprehensive dive accident insurance and trip cancellation insurance before departure. Dive accident insurance covers medical treatment, hyperbaric chamber costs, and emergency evacuation in the event of a diving incident. Trip cancellation insurance protects your financial investment — not only if you need to cancel or cut short your trip due to personal illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances, but also if the trip is postponed or cancelled by the operator due to severe weather, technical issues, or other operational reasons. In the unlikely event of operator insolvency, cancellation insurance can also help recover your payments. Please ensure your policies are valid for the entire duration of your trip and cover the planned activities.
BCD: 69-106 EUR per trip · Dive Computer: 82-119 EUR per trip
