Maldives
Hanifaru Manta & Whaleshark Special-Baa & Raa Atoll
Port entry/ exit : Male
9 days / 8 nights from 1,380 EUR per person / shared twin cabin
No question – diving in the Maldives is still considered one of the most beautiful experiences a diver can have. Not only does the underwater world offer an incredible variety of stunning reefs and marine life, but the rugged island scenery above water will also take your breath away when visiting the Maldives for the first time. One of the most attractive ways to experience a diving holiday in the Maldives is on a liveaboard safari, as the many atolls offer a constantly changing and fascinating backdrop. The ocean, with its countless shades of blue inviting you to dive in, is always a magnificent sight. This dive safari is ideal for experienced divers looking for crystal-clear water and spectacular encounters around Hanifaru Bay. The bay is world-famous for its large gatherings of manta rays (especially during the plankton season from May to November) and occasional sightings of whale sharks. The itinerary combines varied drift dives and reef dives with impressive underwater landscapes, including colorful coral gardens, caves, channels and pristine reef walls.

The ship
About the MV Amba
About the MV Amba
The ship is 34 meters long and 10 meters wide. With a width of 10 meters, the ship is a safe and calm ship. There are 4 floors in total, with the ship being built wider than taller for safety reasons. Since the crew is all very experienced, we never take any risks. Neither while driving nor under water. Even if the ship is very solidly built and is a very safe ship, it can happen that the Ari Atoll and the Vavuu Atoll cannot be approached, especially in the rainy season. (Even if other ships do sail)
