Highlights
Unique one-way itinerary, diving both above and below the equator
Snorkel with whale sharks at night in Huvadhoo Atoll
Chance of diving Fuvahmulah in search of powerful pelagics
Chance of threshers, oceanic mantas, tiger sharks and more
Hammerheads, bull sharks, silky sharks, grey reef sharks and silvertips
Chance to dive the largest wreck in the Maldives - the WWII British Loyalty
This will be a week of breath-taking channel and drift drives, as you ride the current alongside pelagic life and get to experience not only sightings, but a front seat look into their behaviours.

The itinerary includes a trip to the Huvadhoo channels, a world-renowned diving location. There's a wealth of exciting encounters waiting to be had here with silvertip, hammerhead, bull, and large schools of grey reef sharks.

Moving on to Fuvahmulah atoll, you'll be immersed into oceanic depths with unbeatable conditions that lend themselves to great encounters with tiger, whale, and thresher sharks, black oceanic mantas, and many other pelagic fauna. This is renowned for being many's most memorable dive of their logbook.

As the evenings roll in you'll venture round to the back of the boat for unforgettable night snorkelling experiences with whale sharks. There's a high chance of you having more than one visitor of an evening, and if you stay up late, one-on-one experiences are likely.

The itinerary includes a trip to the Addu atolls, a dive site blessed with the best hard corals that make for great sightings of giant manta rays in their cleaning stations. Additionally, this is home to the biggest shipwreck in the Maldives, The British Loyalty, which you'll get the chance of exploring.

06:00 - Morning dive
07:00 - Yoga Classes
08:00 - Breakfast
09:00 - Spa opens for treatments
10:30 - Second dive
