Lots of Mantas, yummy Maldivian cuisine, and so much more!

We had a wonderful time. Our DM, Ella, was very engaged and enthusiastic about every dive. Making sure we had a positive experience. Our cabin was one of the largest rooms I’ve seen from many, many liveaboards…especially the storage space. Absolutely enjoyed the crew and the chef and his team deserve and an award for culinary excellence. It’s not often. I get to say that about a diving boat. We loved the Manta Knight dive, and the diving overall was good. Highly recommend Emperor Divers as an operation overall and the emperor explorer boat was excellent.. About the only thing I can nitpick about would be their lack of a true camera table. If some of my photography diver friends were on this boat I think they would’ve found it a bit lacking. They need a dedicated camera table or area if possible…with air to clean off cameras. But that’s about the only thing I can offer for critical feedback. 5 stars!!!

Wonderful experience with Emperor Explorer

We were on our first dive by 6:30 a.m each morning. The staff was amazing and every detail was cared for to make a smooth 4 dives during our day.
