Your Perfect Maldives Indian Ocean

The Maldives has always been a popular choice for divers, and we share three different ways to dive these magical islands. Whether you've never visited before or are a seasoned traveller, in this article we're on a mission to tempt you to discover a new side of the Maldives.

Resort-based stays offer the classic Maldivian experience. Spend your mornings diving and your afternoons sipping a cocktail whilst lapping up the pictureperfect backdrop. We feature a wide range of excellent resort options, carefully selected not only for the qualities of the resort and island, but also for their exceptional diving opportunities. Choose a resort in North or South Malé Atoll, experience diving in Ari Atoll or head to a more off-the-beaten-track island or atoll. The choice is yours. All our resorts feature on-site dive centres, and many have house reefs just a stone's throw away. Marine highlights include whale shark, spotted eagle ray, reef manta ray and grey reef shark.

If you prefer to explore as much of this exceptional archipelago as possible or seek the most immersive diving experience, then a liveaboard is the ideal option. Sailing to some of the more remote dive sites and being in the company of like-minded divers are just some of the many benefits of liveaboard diving. Choose from our varied selection of liveaboard vessels and enjoy the finest diving of the Maldives, with itineraries ranging from just seven nights through to extended itineraries of 10 nights or more. Expect to dive on manta cleaning stations, encounter whale sharks and the thrill of diving the channels.

For a more intimate and authentic experience, spend time on a local island where you can experience smaller guesthouses or boutique hotels and meet local people, while still enjoying great diving. Dive in the morning, with underwater highlights from these local islands including thrilling drift dives, soft corals, caves, turtles, wrasse, grouper, sharks and eagle rays. Spend your afternoons and evenings relaxing, learning about local communities or even finding out about conservation projects. It's a fantastic way to support the local islands whilst still getting your diving fix.

Whichever style represents your perfect diving adventure, our friendly team is here to make those dreams come true.
