Arrive at Velana International Airport, Malè and transfer to the boat. After boarding, you will be assigned your rooms and will be given a welcome briefing and safety presentation.

There will be a check dive at Fish Tank or Lankanfinolhu Manta Point, before crossing towards the centre of Ari Atoll.

Must-see sites in Ari include Maaya Thila, Maaloss Thila, Fesdhoo Lagoon at night with the manta-rays, and Fish Head.  

We will then sail to the southern tip of the atoll in search of whale sharks during the day and in one “special spot” by night.

After that, we’ll cross towards Vaavu Atoll, with its beautiful channels and impressive night dive surrounded by nurse sharks.

On the way back to the capital we’ll cross South Male Atoll and dive in the Guraidhoo area for the sighting of large pelagics, as well as the very Kandhooma Thila or the wreck of Gulhi.
