About this route

Your Maldivian diving journey commences with an airport transfer to the liveaboard, where a captain's briefing sets the stage for adventure. Each day typically springs to life with an early morning tea or coffee, immediately followed by the first dive, its timing carefully chosen based on oceanic tides and currents. The diving predominantly spans the Central Atolls, immersing you in vibrant underwater landscapes. Expect frequent encounters with majestic manta rays, gracefully gliding through the clear blue waters. Throughout the trip, you'll complete approximately 23 dives, exploring diverse reef formations and channels. The final day concludes with one last sunrise dive, before you check out and transfer back to the airport.
