Upon arrival you will be transferred to the vessel by a member of staff. Here you will be assigned a cabin and several safety and operational briefing will be conducted.
The cruise sets out to the south, with the exploration of a trawler which sank three decades ago. We will then head to the Kandooma area to dive around Gurahidoo and Kandooma Thila.
Cruising south, we will arrive in Vaavu Atoll, where you can have an unforgettable night dive with nurse sharks below the lights of Alimatha’s jetty.
The day after, following a lovely dive in Miyaru Kandu, the boat starts crossing to the South Ari Atoll. This transit is often accompanied by large groups of dolphins. In South Ari, we will explore dive sites such as 5 Rocks and Kuda Rah Thila. At certain times of year, we may also encounter lots of manta rays queueing up at cleaning stations.
Crossing the border into North Ari, we will dive at sites such as Fish Head and Maaya Thila. A night dive may also be offered.
After diving Bathala Thila, we will head to the small atoll of Rasdhoo. Here, in the early morning you will have the opportunity to experience the thrill of swimming in the blue ocean surrounded by bright particles of plankton, waiting to see hammerhead sharks on their return from the morning hunt.
A final dive will be offered in North Male. The last afternoon is dedicated to experiencing the vibrant historical and cultural aspects of Male.
Disembark the vessel.
