Program

Our goal is to offer you the best possible diving experience; however, several factors determine the route that the Cruise Director and Captain choose, as well as the dive sites we visit. Weather conditions, tides, currents, and the number of other dive vessels at a specific site all influence the direction the boat will take. While we try to meet the number of scheduled dives, bad weather can hinder the yacht’s ability to reach a dive site within the scheduled time. The safety of everyone on board is paramount, and we always do our best to offer dives at alternative sites if we cannot visit those listed below.

A Typical Day

● 06:00 Wake-up call

Below is a description of some of the dive sites we may visit during your liveaboard safari aboard the M/Y White Pearl.

This itinerary will take you far from the crowds to a UNESCO reserve with thilas (submerged pinnacles) covered in vibrant marine life, stunning bays with manta rays dancing during the full moon and new moon, colorful coral gardens, cleaning stations, and shipwrecks submerged in crystal-clear waters. On your return, we will stop to experience the dive sites of the North Male Atoll.
