Day 1: Once onboard there will be a safety briefing, crew introduction, complete and check dive paperwork, cabin allocation and boat orientation. Our boats moor in port on arrival day, departing early the next morning. 

Days 2-11: The first dive is a check dive near the port, then it’s off on our adventure. 

Addu Atoll hosts the WWII wreck, HMS British Loyalty, as well as popular majestic Manta Cleaning station Maa Kandu along with a more relaxing drift dive at Demon corner to either start or end the trip with.

In Fuvahmulah you can expect to meet tiger, silky, silver tip and thresher sharks on the south plateaux. (note; we don’t offer the Tiger Zoo shark feeding dive). 

Huvadhoo, one of the deepest lagoons in the Maldives, the currents and channels are ideal for even more shark sightings including, hopefully, whale sharks and silkies, hammerheads and grey sharks spotted most of the time. You will dive many of the world class channels (kandus) here including; Vilingilli, Koodoo, Nilandhoo and Mareehaa. 

Laamu is an oval shaped atoll which has some of the top dive sites in the world such as Fushi Kandu and Maabaidhoo Kandu.

Hammerheads can be found in Thaa as well as whale sharks who visit our boat at night attracted by the krill, which, in turn, are attracted by the lights. 

Day 12: On the last diving day, 1 dive is available in the morning whilst observing the rule of no diving within 24 hours of reaching altitude.

Day 13: Disembark the vessel after breakfast.
