In November 2026, we invite you on a true diving adventure offering the opportunity to encounter whale sharks, dozens of manta rays, stingrays, various species of sharks, and many other large and small inhabitants of the underwater world in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean off the coast of the Maldives.
The tried-and-true, highly rated SOLEIL 2 and its very friendly crew will provide you with a comfortable cruise, accommodations, and quality service.
Diving in the Maldives is a true underwater adventure and an experience you won’t want to miss. The clear, warm waters of the Maldives are a place where, as you explore the most extensive coral reef system in the Indian Ocean, you can dive surrounded by manta rays, whale sharks, various species of stingrays, turtles, sharks, and large schools of tropical fish.
The planned route is called the “Central Maldives Classic Route.” As the name suggests, the destinations are locations in the central part of the Maldives. Our boat will once again depart from Male and return to Male at the end of the trip. Therefore, no domestic flights are necessary. During this 8-day diving safari, we will visit the atolls of North Male – Rasdhoo – North Ari – South Ari – Vaavu, and South Male, where we’ll have the opportunity to explore stunning coral outcrops, mysterious caves, vibrant reefs, abundant macro life, and manta cleaning stations. These atolls are home to sites considered among the best “channel dives”—dives in the channels between islands—where there’s a high chance of seeing dolphins, reef sharks, whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, turtles, and manta rays.
