Drift Diving

Grouped Atolls
Even by Maldives standards, this itinerary is something special. Diving on the three southernmost atolls of Huvhadoo, Fuvahmulah, and Addu you will dive on both sides of the equator. Beautiful hard and soft coral reefs and vibrant marine life are waiting on almost every dive. But also, Addu has arguably the best manta point in the Maldives as well as the 143 metre WWII fuel tanker, British Loyalty. Then there's Fuvahmulah, where sightings of silver tips, and tiger sharks are common. The currents can be strong on this itinerary, but the rewards are worth it!
