Maldives for 1 week- don’t expect whale sharks!
Overall experience was good. I felt dive briefings were short and vague. Currents were assessed last second and never ended in our favour. There were two really good divemaster and two that were suspect. Whale shark dive an absolute joke. Awful practices at South Ari Atoll!!

Good but not worth full price
Overall I had a good experience on this liveaboard - my first in the Maldives. The itinerary was great and the dive sites really diverse. I liked the schedule: we were never up before 6.30am and the days never felt rushed. There was plenty of time to relax between dives. The food was okay, nothing special and the dive briefings were perfunctory and could've been more comprehensive. I was disappointed to learn that they chummed a few of the dives, something that would've stopped me booking with them if I'd known beforehand, but if it doesn't bother you don't worry. I think the price point without discount is a little high for the quality of the boat; it's not in the condition the pictures show. The cabin on the main deck is extremely small for two people so best to go the lower deck cabin if you're looking for more space for your money.

Maldives, Liveaboard Diving OK
Crew/guides all very friendly and helpful, no complaints with boat / crew all Great. Overall trip not the best. First night stayed in harbour, should have been already travelling, told to get to pick up point at 11,30 am and then didn't leave harbour till next morning (could have arrived on same day flight ) and at end of trip spent 2 nights in harbour should have only been one night.Returned day early. High lights : 2 drift dives, one very different night dive some reef dives with lots of schooling fish and a very different shark dive and got to use my hook a couple of times 👻

Friendly crew and good dives, boat can be better
Initial meet and greet was alright and good impression. Staff was friendly, howeo, I feel the team are quite inexperienced and organization should be better. The boat is dated and quite a few details is not up to standard , or can I say hazardous. On the last 2nd day, somehow diesel enters fresh water tank, I basically brush my teeth and shower in Diesel. Although they claim that they have flush out the Diesel, it wasn't flushed out completely and you can still smell it whenever you switch on the tap
