Maldives · Male

The Maldives is twenty-six atolls strung along the equator, six hundred dive sites and counting, and a current-driven diving culture that rewards reef hooks, fast hands, and good neutral buoyancy. We dive both Male and Ari atolls on the Atoll liveaboard programme.

Cleaning stations cluster on the inside corners of the atoll channels. Manta rays are predictable — Lankan in the north, Maamigili in the south — and the visibility holds above thirty metres in the dry season.
