Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“The perfect little ruiseship. Highlights were many, diving with three tiger sharks was clearly one. Seeing a 4.5 meter shark coming out of the blue, and passing by on close range was quite exciting. Having a whale shark swimming up one of the channels and passing a few meters overhead, while hanging on to a reef, and having both eagle rays and manta rays getting cleaned above us, with 5 reef sharks playing around was another highlight. Being with a great group of people on the boat, diving with them on a daily basis, and having some very experienced dive masters was however the best part of it all. A lot of repeat customers, and a great time all over. I had such a great time, I tried to extend my stay for another week or two. Would absolutely recommend for anyone waiting to explore diving in the Maldives.”
Recommended for: Diving, food, and the people.
