We aim to have a maximum of 6 divers per guide, but we usually try to make smaller groups. Some dives are relaxing and meditative, some others can be challenging due to the currents or the rough seas.

The check dive will be done in this Atoll, close to the arrival point of our guests. This atoll has some incredible dive spots, as well: Lankan Paradise is a Manta cleaning station
active during West monsoon; Nassimo Thila and Banana Reef are colourful and much alive dive spots. Lately, we had special encounters with pelagic fish at Hulhumale wall.

Myaru Kandu and Devana Kandu are the most famous channel dives in this  atoll. Alimatha Jetty: this night dive is world famous for the presence of Nurse Sharks. Fotteyo Kandu: This shallow channel is famous for the outside wall, full of yellow soft coral pending from many different caves. Fushi Kandu and Golden Wall are two more worth exploring dive spots of this area.

Day 4. Vattaru.

This is a very small atoll where we are going to make a dive, when the current meet our expectations.

Day 5. Meemu.

Vanurah Vali Kandu: is a peculiar channel with a double edge that gives the chance to divers to cross the full channel and push all the sharks in one corner; we call this kind of
procedure “shark sandwich”. In this atoll we will dive at Kureli Manta Point: this is the one of the two manta points of our journey, so it’s a MUST! 

Day 6. Thaa.

Olughiri Kandu is a big but very shallow channel, easy to explore entirely. Dyamigili Corner: a long reef full of turtles and white tip sharks.

Kalufalha Island: In the evening we put a big light at the stern of the boat to attract plankton, the favourite food of our special gentle giant, the Whale Shark.

Day 7. Laamu.

Fushi Kandu and Maabahidoo Kandu: two famous channel dives around the same island, north and south side of Maabahidoo. Eagle Rays in formation, Silver Tip Sharks, Dogtooth Tuna, Jack Fish in big schools and Red Snappers: the perfect end for a perfect trip.

Day 8. Huvadhoo.

There is the famous dive spots of Kooddo and Viligili Kandu, two of the most famous kandus of this area, where walls of Gray Reef Sharks are waiting to be encountered. Close to the island of Gemana Fushi, another hotspot for big schools of hammerhead sharks. Close by, there is an amazing dive spot called Mareha Kandu that is home to a big and elegant school of eagle rays and hundred green turtles. 

Day 9. Fovhamulah.

Southern than Huvadhoo, if the ocean conditions are good, we can cross to the ultimate Maldivian dive destination: Fovhamulah. This atoll is made by only one island in the
middle of the Indian Ocean. Here, thanks to the oceanic current, we have great chances to meet Tiger Sharks, Hammerhead Sharks and Thresher Sharks. It is not uncommon to meet Oceanic Mantas Rays and Whale Sharks, too!

Day 10. Addu.

The itinerary ends in the southern atoll of the Maldivian Archipelago, Addu Atoll, where, between January and April, it is possible to meet Reef Manta Rays getting a SPA treatment at one the cleaning stations.
