Cabins

Description

Introducing a newly launched diving boat by an experienced team of liveaboards operators, available for full charters and group bookings, perfect for families looking for an adventurous vacation.

The boat offers two different itineraries suitable for both experienced divers and newbies.

The boat has 9 cabins in total, accommodating up to 16 divers. All cabins have individual-controlled air-conditioning and a private bathroom. The lower deck has two single staterooms and six twin-share cabins, while the upper deck offers accommodation in twin and double bed cabins. The Salon area is spacious and boasts a traditional wooden design with panoramic views, making it perfect for meals or enjoying a drink at the bar.

The diving facilities are located on the diving dhoni, which includes two air compressors, a nitrox compressor, and one skiff. Safety is of utmost importance, and the liveaboard is equipped with all the necessary safety equipment, including life jackets, fire fighting equipment, a first aid kit, and emergency oxygen.

The boat offers two main itineraries - Central Atoll and Deep South of the Maldives. The Central atolls itinerary is accessible to divers of all experience levels, with snorkelers also welcome to join. While some dive sites have strong currents, divers will have the opportunity to see sharks, mantas, and even whale sharks. The Deep South itinerary is recommended for divers with AOWD certificates and offers drift dives, with over 10 different shark species visible. Although the journey is longer, divers will be rewarded with less crowded dive sites, and a chance to experience some of the most stunning dive sites in the Maldives.
