Easy Diving for Makrofans
It was a nice Trip  into the Deep North of Maldives, but one month too late…  The trip to the North is normally very beautiful because you are the only liveaboard. We had many great dive sites with lots of colorful schooling fish and many macro subjects to found. But… 30 degree warm water and no current at the most dive sites. So we see only a few Sharks and Mantas. We didn’t see Gitarrays and Leopardsharks. I took this trip one year earlier in March, and it was much better… So I would do this trip again, but not in April. The stuff was top as always, only the beds are very hard for me.

Diving at its best. Best of + Meemu. We tried to find Hammerheads, but we are not lucky. That´s the ocean.
I have been diving with this Boat for several times. It is always a verry pleasent time. The Cabins have been refreshed with new paintings on the Wall. You have clips with the Cabine names for the daily Dive towels. Enough space to dry you swim and dive suits. Especially the DiveDoni provides a lot of space and comfort for the divers, even when its full booked. I like to thank the whole Team of the Dhoni and Boat for this nice Dive Trip. Special Thanks to the new Cook and the new Barman and my Dive Guide. I always like the longer Trips, because there are more options to chose the Dive sites if there is more trafic at one place. I allready booked my next trip and look forward to stay at maldives.

Every Dive is a good Dive…
I had a great time on this trip. The visibility on this trip in the South of Male region was very good, as we reached the Northern Atolls it‘s getting really bad. We were not lucky at the Hanifaru Bay, but this can happen… one year before it was perfect…there are a lot of other places to see mantas on this trip. Have you ever noticed the sparkling plankton while jumping into the water at the beginning of the dive? This was always very special in the Maldives in August. The crew, the dive guides are always friendly and helpful. Thank you all for this amazing time…
