Fantastic diving experience in a great boat with an excellent crew and abundant sea life.
The ship is modern and spacious and comfortable. The cabin and bathroom are also very spacious and bright, and the cleanliness was perfect. The air conditioning works well and is quiet. The main room for the meals and briefings is big ang comfortable with nice furniture made of solid wood. The food is varied and very good altogether, somtimes somewhat spicy though. You can drink unlimited tea and instant coffee throughout the day, with some snacks, cookies or small bananas. The sun deck has fortunately also a good part of shade. The main aspect to praise though is the profesional and attentive attitude of the entre crew, around 15 people counting both Adora and dohni or dive boat. The tour follows the regular itinerary on the central atolls visiting the best dive spots, with a diversity of walls, channels,, pinnacles and reef hooked dives. This January we have been inmensely lucky to encounter a lot of pelagic marine life, including lots of mantas, 6 whale sharks ,eagle rays and even long finned pilot whales. The divemasters, Maazin and Akki were very professional and did their best to find the real hotspots of marine life. The evening beach barbecue and party was unforgettable and fun, with beach volley, and lots of good music and dancing. Altogether, has been my best liveaboard ever, the 10th, and I will no doubt repeat next year.

Brilliant Trip, Amazing Staff
Just returned from an 8 day trip on Adora. Absolutely amazing. The (all local) staff go above and beyond to ensure you have a great time. Service was brilliant. Special shout out to the dive boat (dhoni) assistants who made the diving extremely streamlined and are very helpful pre and post dive with tanks, wetsuits etc. all organized for you. Couple of things I wish I knew beforehand (that you may find helpful): 1) despite the boat offering free WIFI, the router depends on a dongle which relies completely on cell service (and proximately) from cell towers - proving very unreliable. If staying connected is important to you, buy a SIM at the airport and use that. The packages are very reasonable. I purchased an e-SIM (ooredoo) during the trip which, despite being reasonably tech savvy (and 34yrs young), I failed to get connected to mobile data. 2) the coffee included is instant and the milk UHT. There is a Nespresso capsule machine onboard, so if you're an espresso and/or a non dairy person, take pods and milk with you. 3) the PCR tests (if required) are done on day 6 (Sat) back in Male harbor in the evening and results are received the next morning (roughly 12 hours later).
