Andy has described this as the best trip he has ever taken and is making this his 4th week long trip in 3 years. This 8 day / 7 night itinerary travels Central Atolls from Male. Its is also noted to be a DPV friendly trip where a diver can experience the channels up-close and personally, in the midst of hundreds of pelagics at once!  Sharks for everyone!

The aim is to find pelagic, grey sharks, white-tip sharks, black-tip sharks, hammerheads, dolphins, eagle rays, schools of colorful fishes, morays, tuna fish, gild-head breams, groupers, whalesharks and turtles. Drifting dives in water passages and canals, thilas (submerged coral “seamounts”), cleaning stations where big mantas gather together to be deworn and the search of whale sharks. We will dive into a full-of-life wreck and there will be two of the most spectacular night dives one could imagine: one with mantas and the other with dozens of nurse sharks.

Desert islands and typical fishing villages are also visited to discover and enjoy a bit more of the country and if the weather allows, we will have a BBQ lunch on one of the islands.

If you are looking to relax, you can enjoy the solarium and the jacuzzi on-board (Maldives Blue Force One), kayak and Standup Paddleboards. All this makes an UNFORGETTABLE and amazing trip for both divers and non-divers.
