Conte Max liveaboard is a superb 33-metre motor yacht with around two decades of experience in the country. This trend-setting liveaboard was one of the first in the Maldives to weave wellness concepts into every cruise, delivering one-of-a-kind experiences for divers and non-divers alike. To this day, Conte Max remains an ideal choice for guests wishing to mix relaxing ocean escapes with explorative underwater adventures. Guests can expect premium dive facilities, including nitrox and rebreather support, during expertly-organised itineraries packed full of exploration and other activities.

Day 1:
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.
Days 2-7:
There will be a check dive at Fish Tank or Lankanfinolhu Manta Point before crossing towards the center 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.
Day 8: Disembark
