Dive Area & Sites

The Maldives offers an unparalleled diving experience, characterized by its vibrant coral reefs, abundant pelagic life, and warm, clear waters. The Felicity takes guests to some of the region's most iconic sites, including the renowned Manta Point and Rasfari Corner, where divers can witness majestic manta rays and explore thriving hard coral formations that serve as cleaning stations. For those seeking larger encounters, Rasdhoo Madivaru is a highlight, offering opportunities to spot whitetip reef sharks, graceful eagle rays, and powerful dogtooth tunas. The South Ari Atoll is home to the fascinating Kudhimaa wreck, providing an intriguing artificial reef to explore, while Vaavu Atoll is celebrated for its exceptional night diving opportunities, revealing the reef's nocturnal inhabitants in a new light. The vessel's custom-built design ensures a smooth diving operation, with a dedicated dive deck, free Nitrox for certified divers, and a separate rinse area for delicate underwater camera equipment.

Insurance Recommendation

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.

Booking & Travel FAQ

How does the booking process work?

Select a cabin and departure on Felicity, and we send a real-time inquiry to the operator. After availability is confirmed, you receive a booking confirmation by email and secure your spot with a deposit.

When do I need to pay?

A deposit (usually 25-35%) is due upon confirmation. The remaining balance is typically due 4-8 weeks before departure, depending on the operator.

What documents will I receive?

After your final payment, you'll receive a travel voucher with meeting point, embarkation time, airport transfer details, packing tips, and your full itinerary.

How do I get to the boat?

Most liveaboards depart from a designated marina. Many operators offer airport pickup and transfers — details are in your voucher. We recommend arriving one day before departure.

What certifications do I need?

A valid dive certification (e.g. PADI Open Water), dive insurance, and a valid passport. Some destinations require additional permits or visas — we inform you during booking.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator and are in your confirmation. Generally, the earlier you cancel the higher the refund. Changes depend on availability — contact us as soon as possible.
