Sharks, food and more sharks
The boat is realy spacious and comfortable. Lots of space to find a quiet corner to read or chill. The food is amazing and be prepared to come home with more kilos. The dive sites were well choosen, I just wished the dives guides would look out more for the guests and try to improve their diving skills. Say a lot of touching corals and animals. Diving with gloves should not be allowed to not encourage that behavior. Otherwise the dive guides did a great job and the groups were small with 4-6 divers.

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!
