Days 2-7
Be ready to dive the best and most famous sites of the Maldives central and Baa atolls. Baa was declared a UNESCO World Biosphere and its amazing reefs offer a wide variety of marine life, ranging from small fishes and turtles to the giant filter feeders - mantas and whale sharks. Walls and thilas full of hard and soft corals, plateaus, overhangs, pinnacles and swim-throughs are all yours to explore. Here you will snorkel in the world famous Hanifaru Bay, a marine protected area where hundreds of manta rays gather, from May to November, in a spectacular feeding frenzy. Watch them barrel roll as they scoop up huge mouthfuls of nourishing plankton. By regulation, only snorkeling is allowed here, but there are many fascinating dive sites nearby.
South Male features large schools of fish, big pelagics, plenty of soft corals and caves, as well as one very good wreck. Miyaru Faru is aptly named since 'miyaru' means shark in Dhivehi and not surprisingly this is where you can encounter the 'big boys'. An overhang protects you from the current and provides an excellent viewing spot for the impressive parade of pelagics and patrolling grey reef sharks, or even the occasional hammerhead. Ari Atoll, considered one of the best dive locations in the Maldives, is famous for its mighty whale sharks which can be regularly seen in the marine protected areas. Hammerhead sharks at Rasdhoo Atoll, grey reef sharks and manta rays, tuna, jacks, and eagle rays, and other pelagic fish are also commonly encountered here. North Male features thilas, reefs and drop offs that are rich in nutrients that attract large pelagics like manta rays. Other highlights include Napoleon wrasse, hawksbill turtles, giant trevally, barracudas and other schools of large fish. Dives will be introduced in a briefing by the tour guides with the use of maps.

Here is where you will spend most of the week, and thanks to the oceanic current, there is a great chance to see tiger sharks, hammerheads and thresher sharks.
The Southern Atolls are a really fishy region of the Maldives, and often groups of bottlenose dolphins come to play at the prow of the boat. In Meemu Atoll there will be encounters with grey reef sharks, eagle rays and beautiful soft corals. Manta cleaning stations, hammerheads and whale sharks will await you at Thaa Atoll. Felidhoo will challenge you with its channels and strong currents that attract different types of reef sharks, schools of trevallies and tuna in search of small prey. There is also an incredible night dive at Alimatha House Reef with nurse sharks. There are 3 dives a day, except on the last full day of the trip when there is only 1 morning dive before returns to port.
3 main meals a day will give you enough energy for all the diving of the safari, while the snacks served each day are aimed to simply spoil you! Meals are buffet style and prepared-daily using chicken, fish, fresh vegetables, curries, pasta and salads, and cooked with local and international recipes. You can also enjoy strong coffee from the espresso machine, draft beer, and cocktails from the bar. One dinner will be a picnic on a deserted beach that will leave you with fond and long-lasting memories.
