Pelagic heaven
It was an amazing trip with amazing crew.... everything worked like clockwork right from the airport pickup to our disembarkation.... really memorable trip with loads of pelagics and some fun times The only recommendarion I would have is to have the rental equipment serviced more frequently as we had a couple of occasions where the LPI on two BCDs malfuntioned underwater (it was pressed shut so kept constantly inflating). This can lead to some serious problems so its best to have the kit replaced or regularly serviced. I had my own gear so this is more about what my friends experienced.

Great guides and staff.
We had a great week on Sachika. Excellent guides for experienced divers and great staff on the boat as well. Food was good, but could have been better. We stayed in the upper deck suite which is highly recommended.

Schöne Tauchwoche auf den Malediven!
Die Tauchplätze waren sehr gut ausgesucht. Es gab sehr fantastische Tauchgänge mit vielen Haien und Mantarochen. Der Service on Board ist Ok. Was ich vermisst habe sind frische Handtücher, wie beispielsweise bei anderen Booten. Auf dem Dhoni arbeitet Achmed unermüdlich und macht eigentlich den Job für Zwei. Toller Dhoni Mitarbeiter, hilft beim Anziehen, beim Equipment vorbereiten etc. Definitiv mein Mitarbeiter der Woche in Sachika! Der Dhoni ist sehr komfortabel. Man kann aus dem Dhoni komfortabel ins Wasser springen. Auf dem Dhoni gibt es eine komfortable Toilette. Für Kameras gibt es einen beleuchteten Wassertank. Die Flaschen werden immer reichlich mit Nitrox gefüllt, meistens mit 210-220 Bar. Der Preis für Nitrox (70 Dollar) ist sehr gut. Das Boot ist sehr auf italienische Gäste ausgelegt, viele sprechen kein Englisch. Wer also viel Wert auf den Austausch mit anderen Tauchern Wert legt, sollte sich vorab informieren, ob es nur italienische Taucher sind oder italienisch lernen :-) Die Dive Briefings starten ausführlich auf italienisch, später gibt es ein Briefing auf Englisch. Das Essen ist gut. Es gibt aber keine größeren Spezialitäten. Als Getränke gibt es morgens Orangensaft (nicht frisch gepresst!) und Mangosaft, aber aus der Flasche. Den ganzen Tag über gibt es nur Wasser, Tee (Teebeutel) und Kaffee (Nespresso, nicht aus einer Kaffeemaschine). Unsere Kabine war sehr groß. Dusche und Toilette sind ebenfalls groß und komfortabel. Für nasse Kleidung gibt es auf dem Sonnendeck Wäscheleinen zum Aufhängen. Folgendes wäre aus meiner Sicht verbesserunswürdig: Man könnte die Tauchgruppen mit ein wenig Zeitunterschied (5-10 Minuten) ins Wasser lassen, damit man sich bei den Spots nicht in die Quere kommt. Fotografieren ist nahezu unmöglich auf der Sachika. Wenn man ein Foto geschossen hat, war der Dive Guide (in unserem Fall „small“ Ali) 50-100 Meter weit entfernt. Da braucht man einen guten Buddy, der auf einen wartet. Die Tauchgänge sollten flexibel auf Kundenwünsche zugeschnitten werden können. Wenn der Kunde mehr Zeit bei den Haien verbringen möchte, könnte man die Tauchgruppe aufteilen und nach Wünschen tauchen lassen. Eine Gruppe, die bei Haien tauch und eine andere Gruppe, die gegen die Strömung tauchen möchte, um Korallen zu sehen.
