Dive Information

Central Atolls 7N

This tour allows you to visit the main atolls of the Maldives in 7 days. Departing from Male North, you will embark on a journey through the atolls of South Male, Ari and Vaavu (depending on the conditions) to discover mythical sites.

The density of fish and the fauna set on the reefs are impressive. Thilas, Kandus, and outer reefs offer a very varied digest of action. A constant coming and going between dives "for big" and more relaxing dives to discover the variety of the underwater fauna of the Indian Ocean.

The essential

  • 16 dives over 6 days included (possibility of additional dives) 
  • Level 2, Advanced or equivalent + 50 logged dives
  • Departure and return: Male (international flights not included)

Highlights

  • Manta rays cleaning stations
  • Meeting with the whale shark
  • Sharks and rays in the Vaavu channels

South & Central Atolls 10N

The best of Maldives in 10 days.The 10-night tour of the central atolls offers a wide choice of some of the most famous sites in the Maldives, beyond the popular Ari atoll to meet mantas and whale sharks. If the conditions are right, your experience will be spiced up by the adrenaline dives in the Vaavu and Meemu channels.

The essential

  • 23 dives over 9 days included (possibility of additional dives)

  • Departure and return: Male (international flights not included)

Highlights 

  • Manta rays cleaning stations
  • Meet the whale shark
  • Gray sharks in Vaavu channels

North Atolls

The other side of the Maldives.The good thing in the Maldives is that "north" does not mean "cold". 300km away from the equator, it's hard to complain about the temperature and the dives offered by the Baa and Lhaviyani atolls, which are known as the most fishy in the country. You will visit sites that have nothing to envy to the mythical atolls of the archipelago. This circuit is offered on a particular period of the year between July and the end of October (sometimes until mid-November). At this time, ocean currents dominated by the southwestern monsoon rush into the northern atolls and favor the concentration of plankton, attracting manta rays.

The essential

  • Level 2, Advanced or equivalent + 50 logged dives
  • Departure and return: Male (international flights not included)
