The trip will start by discovering the dazzling long reefs and manta point of North Malé Atoll. At about 15 meters depth only, the sites offers the best conditions to observe manta rays. Marine life here is extremely diverse, some of the most beautiful pinnacles will give you exceptional and colorful memories.

Here you will not find only wall dive, but also current swept channels that are full of sharks, including grey reef sharks, white tip reef sharks, and black tip reef sharks. Keep looking in the blue and you will often see tunas, barracudas, and eagle rays too. When night falls, you will be invited to go ashore and indulge yourself in the barbecue dinner prepared by our crew on a nearby desert island.

Taking you back in time to the 80's, you will dive on two ships. One of them dramatically protrudes through the surface. Both wrecks are covered in hard and soft corals and full of fish life. Exploring Maldives is also setting foot in paradise. Our crew will lead a visit to the nearby local island just before dinner.
