About this itinerary

Encompassing large areas of both the central and southern Maldives, this 10 night liveaboard itinerary covers plenty of ocean with some fantastic diving along the way. South Malé, Vaavu, Meemu, Thaa, Laamu, and Huvhadoo Atolls all feature on the diving schedule. Where ocean currents are funneled through many of the atolls' channels, incoming nutrients mean healthy reefs and an abundance of marine life. From beautiful soft corals and colourful invertebrates to schooling jacks, tuna, sharks, and rays; this diving itinerary never fails to deliver.
