Arrival at Kadhdhoo airport on a domestic flight from Male. Embarkation is followed by introductions, boat and safety briefings, lunch, a check-dive (time permitting), and dinner.

Days 2-6:
Spend two nights in Laamu atoll, to visit the best dive sites in the area (Mabaidhoo, Funaidhoo...).

Leaving Laamu, we get to Huvadhoo. Despite its great dimensions, much of Huvadhoo’s best diving is located along the eastern edge and its various channels. It is also possible to watch the whale shark at night—and most times more than one specimen at a time! Once again our crew will mount the stern lighting, hoping for these gentle giants to visit with us for a midnight snack.

Leaving Huvadhoo, we get to Fuvahmulah. Dives in this area are most definitely reserved to expert divers. In cooperation with Fuvahmulah Dreams Diving Center, you will be taken to the famous Tiger Zoo to dive with tiger sharks and other sites in search of threshers, silvertips, and more.
