Scheduled classical trips explore the central atolls of the Maldives, with Nitrox provided free of charge. Island hopping enhances the travel experience, complemented by diving, fishing, and other marine activities included in the price.

Boat Interior
This liveaboard accommodates up to 24 guests in 11 spacious and comfortable cabins, free from bunk beds, each with air conditioning and a shower. Options include booking a double cabin or a space in a shared cabin, with the suite on the upper cabin offering expansive views through large windows. The dining area, set in the open air with ample shade, and multiple outdoor areas with sun loungers across three decks, provide ideal settings for enjoying the Maldives' natural beauty. The indoor salon, equipped with TV and music facilities alongside a bar, offers relaxation and entertainment options.

Dive Deck
Equipped with 3 Coltri compressors and a Nitrox membrane, the dive deck is rebreather-friendly. A diving dhoni ensures easy access to dive sites, with gear rental available with prior notice.

Safety
Comprehensive safety measures include life vests, emergency and first aid kits, and fire extinguishers.

Far South Atolls
The safari’s highlight is the exploration of the far south Atolls, a less frequented diving paradise with a higher likelihood of encountering diverse shark species and rich marine biodiversity, including vibrant coral reefs and rare pelagic animals.

Itinerary
The itineraries span the central and far south atolls, with notable dive sites such as Thaa and Laamu, and the famous Fushi Kandu known for its abundance of marine life, including reef sharks, eagle rays, and stingrays. The far south stands out as an undiscovered gem, drawing divers with its unique shark encounters and pelagic diversity.

When to Go
Diving in the Maldives is a year-round activity, with the ideal period from December to May, when conditions are most favorable for exploring the diverse underwater landscapes and encountering the currents that bring a variety of marine life closer to the divers

I had a fantastic time on the Duke of York. It is managed by an Italian company that primarily books Italian tourists, but my cruise included passengers from many other countries. We had a wonderful time. The trip was well-managed and the food was incredible. Our guide, Muzey, was very professional and knowledgeable. Between dives, I loved that the ship had both sunny and shady areas to relax in. I would book with Duke of York again.
