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.”
