Beautiful boat, friendly staff, excellent food and amazing diving. Conte Max is charming cosy boat with diferent places to chill after dives. Crew is extremely helpful, kind and always with a smile. Atmosphere on the boat was very pleasant and food was incredibly good. Activities between or after dives like barbeque on desert island, swiming, fishing and lokal island visiting were just perfect and made this trip unforgetable. Dive guides Fabio, Diego and Boee were comunicative, profesional and experienced what made diving in sometimes stronger current feel me safe and I could enjoy the dives. From my experience highly recomended..”

My diving experience spans cold-water UK drysuit dives, warm coral reefs in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and South Africa. As a former BSAC Diving Officer, I've led dive training and operations. I've logged every type of dive: decompression stop deep dives, wreck dives, shark dives, night dives, drift dives, and everything in between.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

Magic Mantas, Friendly Nurse Sharks and Reef Aquarium. I joined this safari for the reputation of the quality of diving in the Maldives and it was incredible ! Mesmerising Mantas, and docile nurse sharks numbered 40+ weaving in / out of divers and resting at the sandy bottom. White and black tip sharks on every dive, the colorful varieties of reef fishes in the shallows, healthy corals and numerous annenmones with their clown fish residents All the dives are different and well planned that allow us to experience as much of the variety as possible.. Director Gianluca is very organized, knowledgable and experienced. Dive masters Ali and "Booze" are locals with 30 years experience who are very familiar with all the dive sites. The crew is very efficient, attentive, and friendly. They are always ready help. Chef made wonderful food - all delicious ! The barbecue on the beach was a perfect end to one of the days - food and setup was incredible - the crew made a sand whale shark for us ! Thank you ! The boat is very spacious, comfortable and well kept. Plenty of areas where one can retreat to, relax and rest after each dive. The library lounge is well stocked with interesting books - one comment maybe to have more English books instead of Italian ones. As you walk along the waterfront and the piers of Male, you already see schools of stingrays swimming near where the fishermen dock their boats. There are large schools of stingrays and even a guitar shark as we dove just outside Hulhumale, . The hypnotic Giant Manta dancing back and forth at the cleaning station is like a ballerina - in slow motion thoroughly enjoying itself her visit at the spa ! A good 20 minutes - so very lucky for us ! Contrasted by the Giant Mantas at the night dive who came for planton feeding - energeticly and vigoriously pursueing the plantons with back flips. They stayed for a good 40 minutes ! A nurse shark joined in the fun and passed in front of me not 12 inches away. I was totally in awe of these magnificent creatures. Earlier, we jumped into a school of 40-50 nurse sharks. As we descended, they wove through us to check us out. Some rested at the sandy bottom - peaceully resting and sleeping At first, it was very scary but they are not threatening at all. On the shallow reefs gathered the most colorful sweetlips, snapers, anglefish, fusilias, giant clams and many others. Brilliant anemonies with their brightly striped resident clown fishes and giant clams - a truely underwater aquarium.”

Recommended for: QUALITY AND VARIETY OF DIVING. SAFARI DIRECTOR ORGANIZATION, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. DIVE MASTERS EXPERIENCE. CHEF'S DELICOUS FOOD AND THE CREW IS EFFICIENT, ATTENTIVE AND FRIENDLY. WELL KEPT, SPACIOUS AND COMFORTABLE BOAT.
