Diving: Is technical diving allowed in the Maldives?

From January 2012, diving will no longer be permitted in Hanifaru Bay, only snorkelling will be allowed. This is a Marine Protected Area, snorkeling is regulated with regarding to number of people and length of time snorkeling and requires a fee which will be paid locally.

Technical diving is not offered on any of our liveaboards in the Maldives because the Maldivian government does not allow decompression diving.

We offer a wide range of exciting diving itineraries from the far north atolls, around the central atolls, and to the far south atolls of the stunning Maldives.

We also offer speciality itineraries including our ‘Project Shark’ and ‘Manta Trust’ safaris.

Diving in the Maldives, especially from liveaboards, is for more experienced divers that are certified to a depth of at least 30 meters and are comfortable with moderate to strong currents. For your comfort, we recommend that divers have a minimum of 30 logged dives for most itineraries. Negative entries and drift dives are to be expected. For southern itineraries the currents tend to be strong and the water is deeper so we recommend that divers have a minimum of 100 logged dives.

Night diving in the Maldives is more difficult due to the currents and it is not always possible. In the Central and Northern Maldives, there is often one or two night dives offered per week, at the discretion of the captain and dive guides. In the Southern Maldives, night dives are not possible due to the strong currents.

Nitrox is available on board M/Y Blue Voyager and M/V Blue Spirit.

There are five recompression chambers are available in Maldives. The largest and longest operating recompression chamber is on Bandos Island (15 minutes by speedboat from Malé). The others are located on Cinnamon Alidhoo Resort, Villingili Resort in Addu, Kuramathi Resort, and Kandholhudhoo Islands.

The Maldives is tropical all year round and water temperatures range from 27°C to 29°C.

There is the option to store your luggage at Male Airport in a luggage room at the cost of $5 per item or $10 per oversized/heavy item. This can be found by visiting the main information desk in the airport.

Most people like to indulge during holidays. There are times however, when alcohol is best avoided. We will not allow guests to dive after consuming alcohol. Therefore, if you are planning to enjoy an afternoon or night dive, we recommend that you avoid alcohol with lunch. Similarly, diving with a hangover can seriously impair your judgement and increase the risk of decompression sickness. If we feel that you are not fit to dive, you will be asked politely to sit out of the morning dive. It is important for you to acknowledge that we will only ever do this to protect your safety. We will not tolerate anti-social or aggressive behaviour on board and individuals who cause a disturbance to other guests may be removed from the vessel.

We wish to show you the very best diving possible, however, the number of factors determine which route the Cruise Director and Captain will choose and which dive sites we visit. Weather, tides, currents and the number of other dive vessels at a particular site all play a part in where the boat is heading to. While we attempt to ensure the number of dives, we have scheduled is fulfilled, bad weather can hinder the yacht’s ability to reach a specified dive site in good time. The safety of all on board is paramount and we always do our best in offering diving at alternate locations should we be unable to visit those sites listed below.

About the diving

Baa: Encompassing 54 islands of South Maalhasmaddu and Goidhoo Atoll. Baa Atoll is best known for Hanifaru Bay, where huge numbers of Manta Rays congregate to feed at certain times of the year, especially around a full and new moon phase when high tides and strong currents bring nutrient and plankton-rich waters into the bay.

Hanifaru Bay: Hanifaru Bay is a marine protected, uninhabited island located in the Baa Atoll of the Maldives islands.

Please note: Scuba diving is not permitted in Hanifaru Bay, however, you will be able to snorkel in this area for a $20 fee (per person for approximately 45 minutes).

Dhigala Haa: This beautiful Thila in Baa Atoll is easily circumnavigated in one dive and is a favorite for shark sightings; often big numbers of grey reef sharks together.

Raa: Just north of Baa, and separated by a thick channel, Raa atoll contains a high density of Thilas within its lagoons with caves, overhangs and drop-offs providing stunning underwater scenes of abundant marine life with colorful corals, huge number of reef fish and a variety of pelagics including mantas and whale sharks in the summer months.

Miyaru Faru – North Male: Located on the outside corner of Thulhaagiri Kandu in North Male Atoll.

Okobe Thila – North Male: A spectacular dive site, which comprises three large reefs with a variety of features and an abundance of different types of coral, teeming with fish.

Lions Head – North Male: This protected marine area is another great location for spotting grey reef sharks.

About the diving

Orimas Thila – North Ari – Although sharks are not usually the highlight of the northern itineraries, Orimas Thila is an exception to the rule. Here, grey reef sharks can be observed circling and wriggling whilst they are being cleaned. The best spot to view them from is down-current either on the sandy bottom or from a ledge out of sight, kneeling or using a reef hook if the current is running.

Guraidhoo Kandu – South Male Atoll – Since the eastern side of the channel is open ocean, large predatory fish can regularly be spotted here. This site is famous for sightings of sharks, schools of eagle rays and the occasional sail fish and hammerheads. The best condition to do the dive is when the current is flowing into the Atoll. The dive begins on the outer reef following the current into the atoll. Most of the pelagic species can be observed on the eastern side, where the reef drops off into the deep ocean. At the end of the dive in the channel, along the reef you can find overhangs with plenty of soft coral growth and small fish.

Kandooma Thila – South Male Atoll – Located in a channel, the reef is subject to strong currents at times. The ocean currents carry lot of nutrients to the reef, supporting an abundance of sea life. The site is well renowned for the soft coral growth, turtles, diverse fish life and invertebrates found on the reef. At the reef slope you may find sharks and eagle rays.

Rasdhoo Madivaru – Rasdhoo Madivaru Corner is located in the corner of the channel into the atoll. Madivaru has its fame amongst seasoned divers of the Maldives. It has one of the most spectacular and confusing reef formations found in Ari Atoll. Hammerhead sharks emerge in big numbers just before sunrise swimming in large groups. Dolphins, dog tooth tunas along with schools of black snapper are seen at the reef edge during the early hours. Divers get an opportunity to view white tip reef sharks, pelagics, trevallys, little tunas, jacks, ribbon eels, fish leaves tunas, napoleon wrasse and barracudas. Experience the thrilling scuba diving adventure amongst fine coral formations with highest underwater visibility.

Fish Head – North Ari – Fish Head also known as Shark Point or Mushimasmingili Thila, fits the classic definition of a Thila – a large isolated flat top reef rising sharply from the inner atoll floor at 40-50m to around 10m from the surface. It is one of the best sites for seeing populations of grey reef sharks and white tip reef sharks. Featuring a series of caves and overhangs in between where you can see thousands of blueline snappers against a backdrop of black coral bushes and large gorgonians. Marine Life: grey reef sharks, white tip sharks, eagle rays, sailfish, hammerheads, dolphins, dog-tooth tuna, snapper, napoleon wrasse, barracuda, trevally, ribbon eels, leaf fish

Please note:

You must be certified to dive to a depth of 30 meters as well as be experienced and comfortable with diving in medium to strong currents. Negative entries and drift dives are to be expected. If you have Open Water certification and experience with currents, we strongly suggest you complete Advanced Open Water or Deep Diver Adventure Dive either before or during your holiday so you can maximize your diving experience on board.

For Blue Spirit trips departing from Male, the Cruise Directors meet guests in the arrivals area of MLE airport (next to the Burger King) at 10 am. Therefore we strongly recommend guests arrange their international flights for morning arrival, or the day before and stay overnight in a hotel to catch up on sleep with the time change.

Disembarkation is usually around 8:30 am (could vary a little depending on the time of the domestic flight HAQ-MLE).

About the diving

Guraidhoo Kandu – South Male Atoll
Since the eastern side of the channel is open ocean, large predatory fish can regularly be spotted here. This site is famous for sightings of sharks, schools of eagle rays and the occasional sailfish and hammerheads. The best condition to do the dive is when the current is flowing into the atoll. The dive begins on the outer reef following the current into the atoll. Most of the pelagic species can be observed on the eastern side, where the reef drops off into the deep ocean. At the end of the dive in the channel, along the reef, you can find overhangs with plenty of soft coral growth and small fish.

Kandooma Thila – South Male Atoll
Located in a channel, the reef is subject to strong currents at times. The ocean currents carry a lot of nutrients to the reef, supporting an abundance of sea life. The site is well renowned for the soft coral growth, turtles, diverse fish life and invertebrates found on the reef. At the reef slope, you may find sharks and eagle rays.

Mulaku Kandu – Meemu Atoll
The northeast is peppered with submerged pinnacles covered predominantly in soft corals, whilst the west will see you surrounded by jacks and snappers. Keep an eye open for sharks and rays at 30m!

Fish Head – North Ari
Fish Head also known as Shark Point or Mushimasmingili Thila, fits the classic definition of a thila – a large isolated flat top reef rising sharply from the inner atoll floor at 40m to 50m to around 10m from the surface. It is one of the best sites for seeing sharks. Features a series of caves and overhangs in between where you can see thousands of blueline snapper against a backdrop of black coral bushes and large gorgonians.

Rasdhoo Madivaru – Rasdhoo
Rasdhoo Madivaru Corner is located in the corner of the channel into the atoll. Madivaru is famous amongst seasoned divers of the Maldives. It has one of the most spectacular and confusing reef formations found in Ari Atoll. Hammerhead sharks emerge in big numbers just before sunrise swimming in large groups. Dolphins, dogtooth tunas, along with schools of black snapper are seen at the reef edge during the early hours. Divers get an opportunity to view white tip reef sharks, pelagics, trevallies, little tunas, jacks, ribbon eels, fish leaves tunas, Napoleon wrasse and barracudas. Experience the thrilling scuba diving adventure amongst fine coral formations with the highest underwater visibility.

Lhaviyani
Excellent channel diving in the north with sites closely located together. Lhaviyani Atoll hosts some of the Maldives wreck diving opportunities, including the two coral-encrusted wrecks at ‘The Shipyard’ and the exhilarating drift dive of the Kuredu Express. A site for the more experienced diver.

Hanifaru Bay – Baa
Hanifaru Bay is a marine protected uninhabited island located in the Baa Atoll of the Maldives Islands. Its size is no greater than that of a football field and yet it has become one of the hottest spots on the planet for underwater photographers. The reason for this modern-day phenomenon of underwater diversity is because plankton blooms between the months of May and November – a very unusual phenomenon – attracting manta rays by the hundreds. At any one time at Hanifaru Bay, there can be up to 200 manta rays feeding off the coral reefs as well as plenty of whale sharks that do the same! Hanifaru Bay has become the world’s largest manta ray feeding destination. PLEASE NOTE: Since January 2012 scuba diving is not permitted in Hanifaru Bay, however, you will be able to snorkel in this area for a $20 fee (per person for approx 45mins).

Dhigala Haa – Baa Atoll
This beautiful thila in Baa Atoll is easily circumnavigated in one dive and is a favorite for shark sightings, where you can possibly see at least 6 grey reef sharks at one time. Once heavily fished, it is now a protected marine sanctuary and the fish life is prolific and varied with blue fin jacks, fusilier, blue striped and humpback snapper, batfish and schools of barracuda.

QUALIFICATION NEEDED: You must be certified to dive to a depth of 30 meters as well as be experienced and comfortable with diving in medium to strong currents. Negative entries and drift dives are to be expected. If you have Open Water certification and experience with currents, we strongly suggest you complete Advanced Open Water or Deep Diver Adventure Dive either before or during your holiday so you can maximize your diving experience on board.

For Blue Voyager, the Cruise Directors meet guests in the arrivals area of MLE airport (next to the Burger King) at 12:30 and at 16:00 so it is best to arrange international flight arrival times accordingly (otherwise make use of overnight hotel, HIH Day Use, airport luggage storage, etc.)

Disembarkation is usually around 8:30 am (could vary a little depending on the time of the domestic flight HAQ-MLE).

This itinerary takes you to the fantastic dive sites in the southern part of the Maldives. You will get to visit the best dive sites around the atolls of Huvadhoo, Laamu, Thaa, Meemu, Vaavu, and South Male. Please note that this itinerary will involve diving in currents. We recommend our guests have a minimum of 50 logged dives, Nitrox certification, and experience with diving in currents. A long overnight sail is also part of this itinerary.

We wish to show you the very best diving possible, however, the number of factors determine which route the Cruise Director and Captain will choose and which dive sites we visit. Weather, tides, currents and the number of other dive vessels at a particular site all play a part in where the boat is heading to. While we attempt to ensure the number of dives, we have scheduled is fulfilled, bad weather can hinder the yacht’s ability to reach a specified dive site in good time. The safety of all onboard is paramount and we always do our best in offering diving at alternate locations should we be unable to visit those sites listed below.

Embarkation: Male Airport

Disembarkation: Koodoo Airport

Embarkation and disembarkation times may vary depending on the itinerary, so please check your cruise confirmation carefully.

If your cruise departure is from Male, transfers are organized from the airport at 12:30 & 16:00. Guests should take an international flight that arrives before these times. At these two times, the dhoni will dock right at the airport pier (almost like a boat taxi stand) and transfer the guests straight to the boat.

The diving day has a typical schedule as follows:

Light breakfast followed by a briefing and dive 1

Full breakfast, relaxation period, briefing and Dive 2

Lunch, relaxation period, briefing and Dive 3

Snack, relaxation period

Dinner – if we offer a night/sunset dive, the schedule will be slightly amended

About the diving

Fushi Kandu – Laamu Atoll

One of the most popular channels dives although, relatively shallow, stretches for 250 m and white tip reef sharks are frequent visitors, as well as schools of jacks, tuna, and eagle rays.

Olhugiri Kandu – Thaa Atoll

Schooling fish and jacks attract large numbers of whitetip reef sharks. Tuna and eagle rays wait for the leftovers the occasional Napoleon wrasse can be seen nibbling on corals.

Mulaku Kandu – Meemu Atoll

The north east is peppered with submerged pinnacles covered predominantly with soft corals, while the western part will see you surrounded by jacks and snappers. Keep an eye out for sharks and rays at 30m!

Guraidhoo Kandu – South Male Atoll

Since the eastern side of the channel is an open ocean, large predatory fish can regularly be spotted here. This site is famous for sightings of sharks, schools of eagle rays and the occasional sailfish and hammerhead sharks. The best time to do this dive is when the current flows into the atoll. The dive begins on the outer reef, where you can drift along with the current into the atoll. Most of the pelagic species can be observed on the eastern side where the reef drops off into the deep ocean. At the end of the dive in the channel, you can find overhangs along the reef with soft corals and lots of fish.

Kandooma Thila – South Male Atoll

Located in a channel, the reef is subject to strong currents at times. The ocean currents carry a lot of nutrients to the reef, supporting an abundance of sea life. The site is well renowned for the soft coral growth, turtles, diverse fish life and invertebrates found on the reef. At the reef slope, you may find sharks and eagle rays.

Please note:

For this itinerary, a short domestic flight to or from Kooddoo Airport is required, which we are happy to book for you. We recommend booking an early arrival into, and a late departure from Male airport, so you can easily make the domestic connection. Upon arrival at Male airport, you will be greeted by a representative from Voyages Maldives. Please look out for them in the arrivals hall. They will have a sign displaying a blue o two logo. Voyages Maldives will advise and assist you with your onward domestic flight transfer. They also have counter No. 34 located in the arrivals hall. If your domestic flight is scheduled to leave within 2 hours of your arrival in Male, the representative will escort you to the domestic terminal for your flight to Koodoo, from where your boat departs. if your domestic flight is scheduled to leave more than 2 hours from your arrival in Male, please check-in at the Voyages Maldives counter.

We wish to show you the very best diving possible, however, the number of factors determine which route the Cruise Director and Captain will choose and which dive sites we visit. Weather, tides, currents and the number of other dive vessels at a particular site all play a part in where the boat is heading to. While we attempt to ensure the number of dives, we have scheduled is fulfilled, bad weather can hinder the yacht’s ability to reach a specified dive site in good time. The safety of all onboard is paramount and we always do our best in offering diving at alternate locations should we be unable to visit those sites listed below.

The aim of ‘Project Shark’ is to highlight the global issues facing sharks, with a focus on manta rays and whale sharks in the Maldives, as well as enjoying some of the most spectacular reefs that the Maldives have to offer. Learn about the biology and behaviour of both species around the Maldives with nightly lectures from our expert in this field. The week will involve close encounters with sharks, manta rays and whale sharks (although these sightings cannot be guaranteed) with the possibility to observe them in their natural habitat and donate vital information to local Maldivian marine research and organizations.

You will be joined on board for the duration of the safari by our experienced “Project Shark’ trip host, Dr. Elke Bojanowski. Founder of the ‘Red Sea Sharks Trust’, experienced dive guide and marine biologist, Elke Bojanowski Ph.D., began the Longimanus Project in October 2004 and since this date, she has been actively collecting underwater photographs and video-clips of Oceanic Whitetip Sharks for catalogue, review and analysis. Since 2012, the project has expanded to become Red Sea Sharks and increased its scope to include Grey Reef and Silky Sharks catalogs and monitoring many shark species. Elke is now broadening her shark horizons and hopping over to the Maldives to dive with mantas and whale sharks!

During this trip, you will be able to play a part in adding to valuable research efforts by the ‘Manta Trust’ who work towards the conservation of manta rays worldwide. Throughout the week, you will record your sightings for identification and submit them existing Maldivian marine life charities, including the ‘Manta Trust’.

This itinerary covers the 3 most Southern Atolls of the Maldives Archipelago offering the opportunity to dive some of the best sites they have to offer.

From Huvadhoo Atoll, across the equator to the isolated atoll of Fuvahmulah and all the way to the southernmost atoll, Addu. We wish to show you the very best diving possible. However, the number of factors determine which route the cruise director and Captain will choose and which dive sites we visit. Weather, tides, currents and the number of dive vessels at a particular site all play a part in where the boat is heading to. Whilst we attempt to ensure then number of dives we have scheduled is fulfilled, bad weather can hinder the vessel’s ability to reach a specified dive site in good time. The safety of all on board is paramount and we always do our best in offering diving at alternate locations should we be unable to visit those sites listed below.

Please note that this itinerary will involve some diving in strong currents; these dives are not suitable for novice divers. We highly recommend a minimum of Advanced Open Water certification with at least 50 logged dives, Nitrox certification and experience diving in currents.

About the diving

Huvadhoo: Also known as Gaafu Atoll, Huvadhoo is the second largest of the Maldivian atolls and the second largest in the world (in terms of overall surface area).

Olhugiri Kandu – Thaa: Schooling fish and jacks attract large numbers of whitetip reef sharks. Tuna and eagle rays wait for the leftovers the occasional Napoleon wrasse can be seen nibbling on corals.

Mulaku Kandul – Meemu: The north east is peppered with submerged pinnacles covered predominantly with soft corals, while the western part will see you surrounded by jacks and snappers. Keep an eye out for sharks and rays at 30m!

Fotteyo Kandu – Vaavu: Many scuba divers consider Fotteyo Kanu to be the best dive site in the Maldives and it is also rated among the top 5 dive sites in the world.

Guraidhoo Kandu – South Male: Since the eastern side of the channel is an open ocean, large predatory fish can regularly be spotted here.

Kandooma Thila – South Male: Located in a channel, the reef is subject to strong currents at times.

The aim of ‘Project Shark’ is to highlight the global issues facing sharks, with a focus on manta rays and whale sharks in the Maldives, as well as enjoying some of the most spectacular reefs that the Maldives have to offer. Learn about the biology and behavior of both species around the Maldives with nightly lectures from our expert in this field. The week will involve close encounters with sharks, manta rays and whale sharks (although these sightings cannot be guaranteed) with the possibility to observe them in their natural habitat and donate vital information to local Maldivian marine research and organizations.

You will be joined on board for the duration of the safari by our experienced “Project Shark’ trip host, Dr. Elke Bojanowski. Founder of the ‘Red Sea Sharks Trust’, experienced dive guide and marine biologist, Elke Bojanowski Ph.D., began the Longimanus Project in October 2004 and since this date, she has been actively collecting underwater photographs and video-clips of Oceanic Whitetip Sharks for catalog, review and analysis. Since 2012, the project has expanded to become Red Sea Sharks and increased its scope to include Grey Reef and Silky Sharks catalogs and monitoring many shark species. Elke is now broadening her shark horizons and hopping over to the Maldives to dive with mantas and whale sharks!

During this trip, you will be able to play a part in adding to valuable research efforts by the ‘Manta Trust’ who works towards the conservation of manta rays worldwide. Throughout the week, you will record your sightings for identification and submit them to existing Maldivian marine life charities, including the ‘Manta Trust’.

This itinerary covers the 3 most Southern Atolls of the Maldives Archipelago offering the opportunity to dive some of the best sites they have to offer.

From Huvadhoo Atoll, across the equator to the isolated atoll of Fuvahmulah and all the way to the southernmost atoll, Addu. We wish to show you the very best diving possible. However, the number of factors determine which route the cruise director and Captain will choose and which dive sites we visit. Weather, tides, currents and the number of dive vessels at a particular site all play a part in where the boat is heading to. Whilst we attempt to ensure the number of dives we have scheduled is fulfilled, bad weather can hinder the vessel’s ability to reach a specified dive site in good time. The safety of all onboard is paramount and we always do our best in offering diving at alternate locations should we be unable to visit those sites listed below.

Arrival airport: Male

Departure airport: Male

Embarkation: Kooddoo

Disembarkation: Gan

The diving day has a typical schedule as follows:

– Light Breakfast followed by a briefing & Dive 1

– Full Breakfast, relaxation period, briefing & Dive 2

– Lunch, relaxation period, briefing & Dive 3

– Snack, relaxation period

– Dinner – if we offer a night or sunset dive, the schedule will be slightly amended

About the diving

Huvadhoo: Also known as Gaafu Atoll, Huvadhoo is the second largest of the Maldivian atolls and the second largest in the world (in terms of overall surface area).

Fuvahmulah: This solitary island, also commonly called Fomulac Atoll, lies within the Equatorial Channel between Huvadhoo Atoll to the north and Addu Atoll to the south.

Addu: Just south of the Equator, Addu Atoll is the most southern area of the Maldives Archipelago.

Gan Island on the southern tip of the Addu Atoll was previously a base for the British Navy during WWII, after which it was used as a base for the Royal Air Force until the British Military withdrew from the area in 1976. The old base and most of its buildings are now part of a resort, while the old RAF airstrip has been developed into what is now Gan international airport.

For this itinerary, a short domestic flight to or from Gan or Kooddoo Airport is required, which we are happy to book for you. We recommend booking an early arrival into, and a late departure from Male airport, so you can easily make the domestic connection. Upon arrival at Male airport, you will be greeted by a representative from Voyages Maldives. Please look for them in the arrivals hall. They will have a sign displaying the blue o two logos. Voyages Maldives will advise and assist you with your onward domestic flight transfer. They also have counter No. 34 located in the arrivals hall. If your domestic flight is scheduled to leave within 2 hrs of your arrival in Male, the representative will escort you to the domestic terminal for your flight to Gan or Kooddoo, from where your boat departs. If your domestic flight is scheduled to leave more than 2 hours from your arrival in Male, please check-in at the Voyages Maldives counter.

The aim of ‘Project Shark’ is to highlight the global issues facing sharks, with a focus on manta rays and whale sharks in the Maldives, as well as enjoying some of the most spectacular reefs that the Maldives have to offer. Learn about the biology and behavior of both species around the Maldives with nightly lectures from our expert in this field. The week will involve close encounters with sharks, manta rays and whale sharks (although these sightings cannot be guaranteed) with the possibility to observe them in their natural habitat and donate vital information to local Maldivian marine research and organizations.

You will be joined on board for the duration of the safari by our experienced “Project Shark’ trip host, Dr. Elke Bojanowski. Founder of the ‘Red Sea Sharks Trust’, experienced dive guide and marine biologist, Elke Bojanowski Ph.D., began the Longimanus Project in October 2004 and since this date, she has been actively collecting underwater photographs and video-clips of Oceanic Whitetip Sharks for catalog, review and analysis. Since 2012, the project has expanded to become Red Sea Sharks and increased its scope to include Grey Reef and Silky Sharks catalogs and monitoring many shark species. Elke is now broadening her shark horizons and hopping over to the Maldives to dive with mantas and whale sharks!

This itinerary covers the 3 most Southern Atolls of the Maldives Archipelago offering the opportunity to dive some of the best sites they have to offer.

From Huvadhoo Atoll, across the equator to the isolated atoll of Fuvahmulah and all the way to the southernmost atoll, Addu. We wish to show you the very best diving possible. However, the number of factors determine which route the cruise director and Captain will choose and which dive sites we visit. Weather, tides, currents and the number of dive vessels at a particular site all play a part in where the boat is heading to. Whilst we attempt to ensure the number of dives we have scheduled is fulfilled, bad weather can hinder the vessel’s ability to reach a specified dive site in good time. The safety of all onboard is paramount and we always do our best in offering diving at alternate locations should we be unable to visit those sites listed below.

Arrival airport: Male

Departure airport: Male

Embarkation: Gan

Disembarkation:Koodoo

The diving day has a typical schedule as follows:

– Light Breakfast followed by a briefing & Dive 1

– Full Breakfast, relaxation period, briefing & Dive 2

– Lunch, relaxation period, briefing & Dive 3

– Snack, relaxation period

– Dinner – if we offer a night or sunset dive, the schedule will be slightly amended

About the diving

Huvadhoo: Also known as Gaafu Atoll, Huvadhoo is the second largest of the Maldivian atolls and the second largest in the world (in terms of overall surface area).

Fuvahmulah: This solitary island, also commonly called Fomulac Atoll, lies within the Equatorial Channel between Huvadhoo Atoll to the north and Addu Atoll to the south.

Addu: Just south of the Equator, Addu Atoll is the most southern area of the Maldives Archipelago.

For this itinerary, a short domestic flight to or from Gan or Kooddoo Airport is required, which we are happy to book for you. We recommend booking an early arrival into, and a late departure from Male airport, so you can easily make the domestic connection. Upon arrival at Male airport, you will be greeted by a representative from Voyages Maldives. Please look for them in the arrivals hall. They will have a sign displaying the blue o two logos. Voyages Maldives will advise and assist you with your onward domestic flight transfer. They also have counter No. 34 located in the arrivals hall. If your domestic flight is scheduled to leave within 2 hrs of your arrival in Male, the representative will escort you to the domestic terminal for your flight to Gan or Kooddoo, from where your boat departs. If your domestic flight is scheduled to leave more than 2 hours from your arrival in Male, please check-in at the Voyages Maldives counter.

THE EXPEDITION

This expedition has been specifically timed to coincide with the most productive monsoon winds and lunar currents, which strongly influence the movements and feeding habits of reef manta rays. The aim of this trip is to use the knowledge of Manta Trust experts to find these feeding aggregations and allow the guests to experience the wonder of immersing yourself amongst a feeding frenzy of these gentle giants.

On this expedition, we will explore the dive sites in the southern part of Maldives.

While the weather in the Maldives at this time of the year is likely to be more changeable, these monsoonal conditions are exactly what create the planktonic blooms upon which the mantas and whale sharks aggregate to feed. Furthermore, we can never guarantee these natural events, but we have put together a trip which maximizes our chances of being in the right place at the right time, guided by the expertise of The Manta Trust’s CEO and founder Dr. Guy Stevens.

Embarkation: Gan

Disembarkation: Koodoo

The diving day has a typical schedule as follows:

– Light Breakfast followed by a briefing & Dive 1

– Full Breakfast, relaxation period, briefing & Dive 2

– Lunch, relaxation period, briefing & Dive 3

– Snack, relaxation period

– Dinner – if we offer a night or sunset dive, the schedule will be slightly amended

While we attempt to ensure the number of dives, we have scheduled is fulfilled, bad weather can hinder the yacht’s ability to reach a specified dive site in good time. The safety of all onboard is paramount and we always do our best in offering diving at alternate locations should we be unable to visit those sites listed below.

Venture to the less-traveled atolls of the far north, a mainly uninhabited region with beautiful scenic reefs and soft corals, a delight for underwater photographers. As you journey between the central and the northern atolls, experience a shift in topography, corals and colors. Expect to see mantas, black and white tip reef sharks, giant trevallies and colorful nudibranchs, and even a chance to see whale sharks around Baa Atoll! The diving in the north has fewer channel dives and more fringing reefs and submerged thilas, dotted with caves and overhangs.

– Light Breakfast followed by a briefing & Dive 1

– Full Breakfast, relaxation period, briefing & Dive 2

About the diving

Dive areas: Haa Alifu – Haa Daalhu – Shaviyani – Raa and Noonu – Lhaviyani – Baa – North Malé
Number of dives: Up to 3 dives a day

HAA ALIFU, HAA DAALHU AND SHAVIYANI – these atolls are the oldest of the Maldives archipelago and form a single chain of widely spaced islands that clear deep blue water, small thilas packed with fish life, undercut ledges with excellent corals and beautiful white sand floors.

RAA AND NOONU ATOLLS – here the islands and reef systems are closer together and double chained, changing the underwater topography and offering shallower reefs, soft corals with spectacular drift dives.

BAA ATOLL – a UNESCO biosphere reserve with significant biodiversity makes this a great place to spot whale sharks and mantas.

LHAVIYANI – another change in topography and reef systems here with deep channels.

We wish to show you the very best diving possible, however, the number of factors determine which route the Cruise Director and Captain will choose and which dive sites we visit. Weather, tides, currents and the number of other dive vessels at a particular site all play a part in where the boat is heading to. While we attempt to ensure the number of dives, we have scheduled is fulfilled, bad weather can hinder the yacht’s ability to reach a specified dive site in good time. The safety of all onboard is paramount and we always do our best in offering diving at alternate locations should we be unable to visit those sites listed below.
