Exciting diving, energetic dive guides, good food

Just spent a week on this boat and it's a wonderful trip. At first it's a little bit boring and not much to see except sharks until we spotted groups of eagle rays and tiger sharks. The boat is a bit old but well maintained, the room is spacious enough, and it's clean and tidy. Their tanks are steel so you don't need lots of weights. The manager is an energetic Italian lady who worked in Maldives for over 20 years so she knows every spot. The food is delicious especially the pasta. There are two downsides too. 1. The air conditioner in my room is noisy. 2. The checkout time is 7am and you need to hang out in Male for a long time unless your flight is early.

We're confident that your family photos will stand out in uniqueness compared to those of your friends!

Tips for a Smooth Liveaboard Experience with Kids:

  • Active Parental Supervision: While liveaboards are welcoming to families, parents should anticipate being the primary caregivers for their children, as dedicated childcare staff may not be available.

  • Diving Age Restrictions: Confirm in advance if the liveaboard accommodates young divers, especially if they are certified and keen to dive.

  • Early Planning is Key: Aim to book your family dive trip early, especially during school holiday periods, to ensure you secure the best liveaboard and itinerary for your family.

Embracing a liveaboard holiday doesn't mean sacrificing fun for family time.
