Wonderful week of shark Verified review

I've been with Emperor fleet a few times in the Central Maldives. It was my second time in deep south Maldives, first time with Explorer (deep south) Cabin and facilities are great, just it was the first time to use upper deck twin room and it feels a bit small for two single beds - I could not open my suitcase. Food and service were great, they will try their best to assist all the guests. I didn’t have luck to see a lot of sharks as I expected, but still dive guides were trying very hard to find some pelagic, it will be pure luck of the day. Everything in the boat was excellent, but just downside of domestic flight schedule was unsuitable for all guests. Arrived in Male airport in the morning and my domestic flight scheduled late evening - they managed to change it to the afternoon flight. Later, also coming back to Male, domestic flight schedule was 6am - for this reason I missed two of last dives - I was not happy about this also, some of the other guests as well. The team told us that the airline gave them only those time slot, but hopefully next time you can get better timing, then the trip will be great. Thanks anyways for a wonderful week of diving. Someone who wants to see a lot of pelagic shark joining the trip will never be disappointed. I Hope I can do it again sometime soon. Thank you Explorer team!

Stunning!Verified review

Great experience overall out for one week on the Maldives central atolls classic route. The Explorer is a fairly new boat, roughly 3 years old, locally built. Whilst this shows in some of the finer details of the finish this does not at all impact the experience. The cabins are spacious and comfortable and the bathrooms are like regular hotel rooms. Staff and dive guides have been well-trained and are making your stay superbly enjoyable. One can see that with Emperor a well-rounded operator with decades of experience is behind it. Food is always a spread of local and international flavors with the usual Maldivian night and the beach BBQ during one of the nights. They make eggs the way you want it like in a hotel egg station, liked that plus! For those who like a tipple, the house wine with dinner is free (not the greatest wine....) but more so i found the happy hour every day intriguing where you get 2 beers for the price of one (USD 5.00). The dive Dhoni is large and well equipped. Whilst the compressor is a bit rusty on the outside it looks well maintained otherwise and Nitrox is free. Thanks Explorer Team!
