Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Incredible scuba diving week exploring the central Maldives. It was our first time scuba diving in the Maldives, and we’re so glad we chose Ocean One for the experience. The organisation was smooth, the crew and dive guides were incredibly friendly, and the rental gear was in great condition — we always felt safe and well taken care of. In addition to exploring vibrant dive sites teeming with life, we had unforgettable encounters with manta rays and sharks. We also enjoyed two relaxing island visits and a fantastic sunset barbecue right on the boat. All in all, it was a truly unforgettable trip, and we’d happily dive with Ocean One again.”
Recommended for: Food. Beautiful dive sites. Boat & people.
