Upon arrival at one of the Nautilus Liveaboards, first of all, a cool refreshment awaits you. Afterwards, there will be a safety briefing, crew introduction, completion and checking of dive paperwork, cabin allocation, and boat orientation. The time of the first dive to check the equipment depends on the time of your arrival. If you arrive in the morning, the first dive takes place in the early afternoon. If you arrive at noon or in the afternoon, the dive on this day will be omitted.
Days 2-11:
Enjoy up to 3 dives a day in South Male Atoll, Felidhoo Atoll, Mulaku Atoll, Thaa Atoll, Laamu Atoll, Huvadhoo Atoll, Fuvahmulah Atoll, and Gan.
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.
Laamu is an oval shaped atoll which has some of the top dive sites in the world such as Fushi Kandu and Maabaidhoo Kandu.
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.
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).
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.
