Magic Mantas, Friendly Nurse Sharks and Reef Aquarium
I joined this safari for the reputation of the quality of diving in the Maldives and it was incredible ! Mesmerising Mantas, and docile nurse sharks numbered 40+ weaving in / out of divers and resting at the sandy bottom. White and black tip sharks on every dive, the colorful varieties of reef fishes in the shallows, healthy corals and numerous annenmones with their clown fish residents All the dives are different and well planned that allow us to experience as much of the variety as possible.. Director Gianluca is very organized, knowledgable and experienced. Dive masters Ali and "Booze" are locals with 30 years experience who are very familiar with all the dive sites. The crew is very efficient, attentive, and friendly. They are always ready help. Chef made wonderful food - all delicious ! The barbecue on the beach was a perfect end to one of the days - food and setup was incredible - the crew made a sand whale shark for us ! Thank you ! The boat is very spacious, comfortable and well kept. Plenty of areas where one can retreat to, relax and rest after each dive. The library lounge is well stocked with interesting books - one comment maybe to have more English books instead of Italian ones. As you walk along the waterfront and the piers of Male, you already see schools of stingrays swimming near where the fishermen dock their boats. There are large schools of stingrays and even a guitar shark as we dove just outside Hulhumale, . The hypnotic Giant Manta dancing back and forth at the cleaning station is like a ballerina - in slow motion thoroughly enjoying itself her visit at the spa ! A good 20 minutes - so very lucky for us ! Contrasted by the Giant Mantas at the night dive who came for planton feeding - energeticly and vigoriously pursueing the plantons with back flips. They stayed for a good 40 minutes ! A nurse shark joined in the fun and passed in front of me not 12 inches away. I was totally in awe of these magnificent creatures. Earlier, we jumped into a school of 40-50 nurse sharks. As we descended, they wove through us to check us out. Some rested at the sandy bottom - peaceully resting and sleeping At first, it was very scary but they are not threatening at all. On the shallow reefs gathered the most colorful sweetlips, snapers, anglefish, fusilias, giant clams and many others. Brilliant anemonies with their brightly striped resident clown fishes and giant clams - a truely underwater aquarium.

Great dives around the classic central atolls route. Saw everything and more than we expected!
The local dive guides knew the sites very well and done very well to keep us diving away from other boats (some popular sites could see up to 8 boats diving). We saw a whale shark at Dhangetti, manta rays at two cleaning stations, guitar, reef, black and white tips and nurse sharks on other dive sites as well as a tiger shark out in the blue at fish tabk. The nurse shark dive at alimatha was insanely good. The nurse sharks also stayed at the back of the boat all night whilst we ate dinner and into the next morning and you could jump in and snorkel if you liked. We dives with 100’s of stingrays, bull rays and even came across a mobula during a safety stop. For me the bbq and football on the uninhabited island meerufenfushi was magical, watching the sunset and then the sky fill with stars and watching shooting stars rain down as we took the zodiak back to the boat. Would like to see the boat lessen its environmental impact. They're a bit behind some of the more expensive boats in terms of measures in place to offset customers impact. There is apetite for it from all divers. Overall a fantastic trip, the variety meant it was more an adventure than just a dive trip and I couldn't have asked for more in that respect.
