Dive Overview

Boasting warm waters with rich marine life, coral reefs visited by schools of fish and playful dolphins, mantas and whale sharks, the Maldives is one of the most diverse scuba diving destinations in the world. Amazing channel dives draw animals from the deep, which will leave you spellbound. Mountainous pinnacles rise from 35m and taper to 8m, which make them ideal for those slower, more relaxing dives.

[See: Maldives Dive Travel Guide]

Accommodation Overview

Built to a high standard for today's discerning diver, she exudes comfort and, measuring 35m, she happily accommodates 24 divers in 12 ensuite cabins.
