Highlights

  • Having no set itinerary enables your captain and cruise director to choose the very best conditions for your dives
  • Channel dive with the hammerheads of Gnaviyani Atoll
  • Meet the mantas, grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks of Seenu Atoll
Day 1:
Group transfer from the airport to the ship. After a nice welcome briefing by the cruise director, cabin allocation and ship orientation will take place. Guests can familiarize themselves with the vessel, set up equipment, and get comfortable.

Days 2-7:
A strong-character itinerary focused on the most remote atolls and the most committed diving in the southern Maldives. This 7-night cruise takes you into the heart of Gaafu Alifu, Gaafu Dhaalu, Fuvahmulah, and Seenu, in a region that is wilder, more oceanic, and more exclusive. Here, the emphasis is on big marine life and thrilling encounters, with exposed channels, deep drop-offs, and sites renowned for tiger sharks, hammerheads, threshers, mantas, and other large pelagics. A more intense, raw, and more distinctly big-stuff itinerary, designed for divers who want to discover the most spectacular and least explored side of the far south.
