Itineraries
Dive into the heart of the Maldives with two distinct itineraries. The Central Atolls route offers a 7-night adventure with 6 days of diving, embarking and disembarking at Male Airport, exploring North Male, South Male, Felidhoo, and Ari Atolls in search of pelagics and vibrant marine life. The unique 7 Atolls Route (Down) provides an off-the-beaten-path experience, blending traditional routes with wilder spots to the south, promising extraordinary dives filled with schools of jacks, sharks, whale sharks, mantas, and even the elusive mola mola.
When to Go
The best period for diving in the Maldives spans from December to May, during the northeast monsoon. This season offers clear skies, calm seas, and excellent visibility, particularly on the eastern side. While diving is fantastic year-round, the December to March period is notable for the east-to-west current flow that attracts manta rays and various shark species, enhancing the underwater spectacle

DIVING CRUISE – “HANIFARU & NORTH” ROUTEDuring these days, we will explore the atolls of North Malé, Kaashidhoo, Baa, Raa, and Lhaviyani. The final itinerary will be adapted daily according to weather, currents, manta activity in Hanifaru Bay, and the criteria of thecaptain and cruise director. Dives include thilas full of marine life, coral gardens, manta cleaning stations, channels with grey reef and silvertip sharks, and possible whale shark encounters during the day or at night. We may also enjoy manta snorkeling (if mantas are present in Hanifaru), BBQs on desert islands, paddle SUP, kayaking, sunset chillout,s and visits to local islands.
Day 12:
Check-out from the yacht, group transfer to the airport.
NORTH MALÉ ATOLL & KAASHIDHOO ATOLL. These routes start in the northern part of Malé Atoll, the ideal place to acclimatize to Maldives diving.
Helengeli Thila offers grey reef sharks, eagle rays, and manta rays at cleaning stations.
Further west, Finger Point is known for continuous eagle ray and reef shark activity.
Kaashidhoo Atoll - less visited and more pristine - offers outstanding drift dives with excellent visibility and abundant wildlife: green turtles, large schools of fish, dolphins, and even seasonal whale sharks. Coral terraces host napoleon wrasse and large groupers, and the main island still preserves remains of 6thcentury Buddhist templesbuilt from coral blocks. BAA ATOLL & HANIFARU BAY. Baa Atoll is home to the iconic Hanifaru Bay (a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve), where, during the season, dozens or even hundreds of manta rays gather, along with the occasional whale shark. Thilas such as Dhonfanu Thila, Kihaadhuffaru Thila, and Golden Wall offer grey reef sharks, jacks, turtles, and lush soft corals. At night, whale sharks often approach the stern of the boat.
LHAVIYANI ATOLL is renowned for its diversity: wrecks, channels, and colourful coral reefs. Shipyard Wreck, with two sunken vessels lying parallel to one another among corals and sponges, creates one of the most photogenic underwater scenes in the region. At Kuredu Express and Madivaru Channel, the currents attract grey reef sharks, silver tips, eagle rays, and turtles. For a more relaxed dive, Kuredu Caves offers overhangs where green turtles often rest.
RAA ATOLLRemote and seldom dived, Raa offers nearly untouched reefs with abundant hard and soft corals, fusiliers, jacks, snappers, and batfish. Its spectacular thilas - such as Vaadhoo, Beriyan, Labyrinth, and Anemone Thila - are known for impressive clouds of glassfish swirling around the reef. Manta cleaning stations like Kottefaru Corner allow for long, relaxed dives, ideal for photographers. Reef sharks and eagle rays can often be seen in its channels.
