Amazing
This was a great dive trip and both my wife and I enjoyed diving with princess rani. The food was great, the dive masters were knowledgeable and helpful, and the facilities were better than expected. It was nice having multiple spots outside of our room to relax between dives and our room was also really comfortable too.

Diving the Maldives the Italian Way
Maldives Italian style... we had a wonderful time on the Princess Rani. The route was carefully selected to cover the most beautifully, fun, and challenging chanel and thila dives in the south Maldives. In addition to our groups being small, we never once shared a dive site with another boat due to their excellent scheduling. When not diving we had great times at local beaches or hanging out on the boat. The outdoor Italian dining made me feel I had a reservation at the best table at a fine Italian restaurant with 20 good friends every evening.

Incredible week in the Deep South - we will come back!
A week aboard Princess Rani (Deep South route) was an amazing experience. The dive guides (Ornella, Anthony and Miju) went out of their way to ensure everyone made the most out of the week - including rearranging the route slightly to have an extra dive at the Fuvahmulah plateau. The dive sites they chose offered a variety of sightings, and they always tried to make the most of every dive. The crew were always helpful, and the boat was really comfortable and spacious, with a separate dhoni for diving.

Simply incredible
The crew were fantastic, very friendly and accommodating to the group. Dives groups were 4-7 and our guides were great. The boat itself is lovely, cabins clean and surprisingly spacious with ensuites. The food was great, it's an Italian boat so lots of Italian food but some local and international fare as well. The best part though was the diving. On an 11 day/10 night itinerary from Male to Addu we saw: - Tiger Sharks - Scalloped Hammerheads - Whale Sharks - Manta Rays - Eagle Rays - Schooling grey reef and nurse sharks (hundreds) - 50+ turtles - Schooling Barracuda - Schooling tuna & jacks - Beautiful coral reefs (especially in the deep south) We also regularly stopped on remote islands and relaxed in the sun. You won't regret booking with them!

Excellent experience and value for money
Very well organised and very nice crew. The food was an awesome surprise, the best food we've had in the maldives. The dive sites were very well picked and guided. Great to see tiger sharks, grey reef, hammerhead and also some cool small stuff.
