Description
This diving cruise explores the atolls of North Malé, South Malé, Ari, and Vaavu for a week, considered the heart of Maldivian diving. The journey combines channels (kandus), submerged pinnacles (thilas), and cleaning stations, where encounters with mantas, various shark species, and densely populated reefs are common.
###The itinerary alternates dives with large marine life and reef, moray eels, and macro life, offering a different profile each day. The currents can be strong, and many dives exceed 18 meters, so the destination is best enjoyed with previous experience.
###The itinerary is flexible: the course adapts to sea conditions and the cruise's criteria, always seeking the best sightings. Among the classic spots is Fish Head, a marine protected area with resident turtles, schools of fusiliers, and gray reef sharks patrolling the pinnacle.
