What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

All visitors must be in possession of a return/onward flight ticket. We recommend that you have your Emperor Voucher or Tour Company voucher to hand just in case you are asked to present it to airport security upon arrival as proof of where you are staying.

Vaccinations

Requirements vary from country to country so do check with your GP regarding relevant requirements. Do tell your GP that you will be diving as some medication is not recommended for scuba divers.

Taxes

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

Passport & Visas

You must have a passport valid for at least six more months after arrival.

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

Vaccinations

Requirements vary from country to country so do check with your GP regarding relevant requirements. Do tell your GP that you will be diving as some medication is not recommended for scuba divers.

Taxes

All environmental, bed taxes and port fees are included in the price of your liveaboard package. Any equipment rental, special tank requests and on board purchases paid locally will be subject to 12% sales tax.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

Passport & Visas

You must have a passport valid for at least six more months after arrival.

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

All visitors must be in possession of a return/onward flight ticket. We recommend that you have your Emperor Voucher or Tour Company voucher to hand just in case you are asked to present it to airport security upon arrival as proof of where you are staying.

Vaccinations

Requirements vary from country to country so do check with your GP regarding relevant requirements. Do tell your GP that you will be diving as some medication is not recommended for scuba divers.

Taxes

All environmental, bed taxes and port fees are included in the price of your liveaboard package. Any equipment rental, special tank requests and on board purchases paid locally will be subject to 12% sales tax.

Time

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

You must have a passport valid for at least six more months after arrival.

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

Vaccinations

Requirements vary from country to country so do check with your GP regarding relevant requirements. Do tell your GP that you will be diving as some medication is not recommended for scuba divers.

Taxes

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

The route is unique and out of all the usual circuits. The quality of the dives is extraordinary. The amount of life (schools of jacks, schools of sharks and other pelagics, whale shark at night, mantas, mola mola, sailfish …) everything is possible coming from the south.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

Passport & Visas

You must have a passport valid for at least six more months after arrival.

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

All visitors must be in possession of a return/onward flight ticket. We recommend that you have your Emperor Voucher or Tour Company voucher to hand just in case you are asked to present it to airport security upon arrival as proof of where you are staying.

Vaccinations

Requirements vary from country to country so do check with your GP regarding relevant requirements. Do tell your GP that you will be diving as some medication is not recommended for scuba divers.

Taxes

All environmental, bed taxes and port fees are included in the price of your liveaboard package. Any equipment rental, special tank requests and on board purchases paid locally will be subject to 12% sales tax.

Time

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

Passport & Visas

You must have a passport valid for at least six more months after arrival.

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

All visitors must be in possession of a return/onward flight ticket. We recommend that you have your Emperor Voucher or Tour Company voucher to hand just in case you are asked to present it to airport security upon arrival as proof of where you are staying.

Vaccinations

Requirements vary from country to country so do check with your GP regarding relevant requirements. Do tell your GP that you will be diving as some medication is not recommended for scuba divers.

Taxes

All environmental, bed taxes and port fees are included in the price of your liveaboard package. Any equipment rental, special tank requests and on board purchases paid locally will be subject to 12% sales tax.

Time

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

Passport & Visas

You must have a passport valid for at least six more months after arrival.

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

All visitors must be in possession of a return/onward flight ticket. We recommend that you have your Emperor Voucher or Tour Company voucher to hand just in case you are asked to present it to airport security upon arrival as proof of where you are staying.

Vaccinations

Requirements vary from country to country so do check with your GP regarding relevant requirements. Do tell your GP that you will be diving as some medication is not recommended for scuba divers.

Taxes

The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

Passport & Visas

You must have a passport valid for at least six more months after arrival.

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

Vaccinations

Requirements vary from country to country so do check with your GP regarding relevant requirements. Do tell your GP that you will be diving as some medication is not recommended for scuba divers.

Taxes

All environmental, bed taxes and port fees are included in the price of your liveaboard package. Any equipment rental, special tank requests and on board purchases paid locally will be subject to 12% sales tax.

Time

5 hours ahead of GMT. Daylight savings time is not observed in the Maldives.

Currency

The Maldivian currency is the Rufiyaa (Rf) and is closely linked to the US Dollar. 1 US Dollar = approximately 15 Rufiyaa.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

Passport & Visas

You must have a passport valid for at least six more months after arrival.

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

Passport & Visas

You must have a passport valid for at least six more months after arrival.

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

All visitors must be in possession of a return/onward flight ticket. We recommend that you have your Emperor Voucher or Tour Company voucher to hand just in case you are asked to present it to airport security upon arrival as proof of where you are staying.

Vaccinations

Requirements vary from country to country so do check with your GP regarding relevant requirements. Do tell your GP that you will be diving as some medication is not recommended for scuba divers.

Taxes

All environmental, bed taxes and port fees are included in the price of your liveaboard package. Any equipment rental, special tank requests and on board purchases paid locally will be subject to 12% sales tax.

Time

5 hours ahead of GMT. Daylight savings time is not observed in the Maldives.

Currency

The Maldivian currency is the Rufiyaa (Rf) and is closely linked to the US Dollar. 1 US Dollar = approximately 15 Rufiyaa.

Most of the resort islands and local tourist shops accept US Dollars; it’s not necessary to exchange any money into Rufiyaa.

All the resorts, hotels, liveaboards and most of the souvenir shops accept major credit cards, which include American Express, Visa card, MasterCard and JCB card. Almost all items are priced in US Dollars. There is a local bank branch at the International airport’s arrival terminal. They can exchange your currency to US Dollars.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

Passport & Visas

You must have a passport valid for at least six more months after arrival.

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

All visitors must be in possession of a return/onward flight ticket. We recommend that you have your Emperor Voucher or Tour Company voucher to hand just in case you are asked to present it to airport security upon arrival as proof of where you are staying.

Vaccinations

Requirements vary from country to country so do check with your GP regarding relevant requirements. Do tell your GP that you will be diving as some medication is not recommended for scuba divers.

Taxes

All environmental, bed taxes and port fees are included in the price of your liveaboard package. Any equipment rental, special tank requests and on board purchases paid locally will be subject to 12% sales tax.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

Passport & Visas

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

The 42m Maldives Blue Force One has been awarded as the best Maldivian liveaboard boat (2018). It was designed as a perfect boat for you to enjoy your diving vacation without skimping on comfort and details. The ship offers 12 beautiful cabins for up to 24 passengers distributed in 7 deluxe cabins, 1 master cabin, 2 junior suites & 2 master suites. All of them with complete bathroom, shower, hairdryer, air conditioning, safe box, and towels.
It has two Jacuzzis outside, one in the bow and the other in the stern. 3 solariums with sunbeds and mattresses (in the bow, stern, and the upper bridge). And a bar on the upper deck. These details make it an ideal boat for non-divers.

The dive deck provides enough space to gear up and comfortably enter and exit the water.
The archipelago of the Maldives is formed by 25 atolls and almost 1,200 islands. The vast majority of the islands are uninhabited. It is considered one of the top diving destinations in the world With a wonderful tropical climate, breath-taking and unspoiled desert islands and a spectacular underwater world of stunning beauty.

The route is unique and out of all the usual circuits. The quality of the dives is extraordinary. The amount of life (schools of jacks, schools of sharks and other pelagics, whale shark at night, mantas, mola mola, sailfish …) everything is possible coming from the south.

This is a nice choice if you want to mix the traditional routes with something “wilder”.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

Passport & Visas

You must have a passport valid for at least six more months after arrival.

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

All visitors must be in possession of a return/onward flight ticket. We recommend that you have your Emperor Voucher or Tour Company voucher to hand just in case you are asked to present it to airport security upon arrival as proof of where you are staying.

Vaccinations

Requirements vary from country to country so do check with your GP regarding relevant requirements. Do tell your GP that you will be diving as some medication is not recommended for scuba divers.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

Passport & Visas

You must have a passport valid for at least six more months after arrival.

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

All visitors must be in possession of a return/onward flight ticket. We recommend that you have your Emperor Voucher or Tour Company voucher to hand just in case you are asked to present it to airport security upon arrival as proof of where you are staying.

Vaccinations

Requirements vary from country to country so do check with your GP regarding relevant requirements. Do tell your GP that you will be diving as some medication is not recommended for scuba divers.

Taxes

All environmental, bed taxes and port fees are included in the price of your liveaboard package. Any equipment rental, special tank requests and on board purchases paid locally will be subject to 12% sales tax.

Time

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

You must have a passport valid for at least six more months after arrival.

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

30-day tourist visas are issued on arrival at the immigration desk at Maldives International airport for all nationalities and are free of charge.

Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€
The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.
Advanced Course 200€
Nitrox Diver 120€

What is the best time of year to dive?

The Maldives lie in the monsoon belt of the Indian Ocean and has quite a varied weather pattern although the temperature remains fairly constant.

There are two seasons: a dry northeast monsoon (Iruvai) and a wet southwest monsoon (Hulhagu). Between May and November, the prevailing winds are south-westerly. The average rainfall is 215mm with 208 hours of sunshine a month. Around mid-December the winds turn to the northeast and bring a much drier climate. Rainfall averages 75mm a month with average monthly sunshine at 256 hours.

The days are hot and humid throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C degrees and humidity at 60-80%. Sunshine doesn’t differ much between the seasons but there is a big difference in rainfall.

The weather pattern has a strong influence on the currents. During the northeast monsoon, ocean currents are driven through the atoll channels from the northeast; conversely, during the southwest monsoon, they flow into the atolls from the southwest. These patterns have enormous significance for the diving and we will advise you.

What marine life could I expect to see?

The rich marine life teems around the coral reefs where you will find schools of fish, sharks, mantas and rays with regular appearances by playful dolphins.

Thanks to its 26 atolls, the diving is diverse with channel dives attracting marine life from the deep to fast drift diving. Whale sharks and grey reef sharks are common sights or see the manta rays coming in to be cleaned.

What are the water temperatures?

Water temperatures usually stay between 27 – 30°C although thermoclines can sometimes be found at depths below 20 metres.

What wetsuit should I bring?

A Lycra 3mm wetsuit is fine in tropical waters but some divers prefer a 5mm suit if doing more than one dive a day. It’s really how you prefer to dive but we’re happy to advise.

I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?

If you are a PADI or SSI diver, don’t worry, we can check their computer database online.

Can I take a diving course onboard?

Open Water Diver certification or similar is required to dive in our liveaboards. Nitrox certification will be required to dive with Nitrox. For your safety and to enjoy the maximum the dives, we recommend at least Advanced Open Water or similar and 50 logged dives.
If your diving certification is not proper, we recommend making the courses before the trip. If it is not possible, we make diving courses onboard for Advanced and Nitrox.

The course rate does not include processing the certificate (45 € to pay onboard)
