Pre-requisites:
- Dive accident and medical insurance is required (*World Nomads* recommended if travel/dive insurance is needed)
- Produce a valid dive certification and signed a completed registration form/waiver prior to commencing dive activities (US and Canadian divers must sign a North American waiver which will be sent separately)
- Each diver must have a dive computer and SMB, and carry a reef hook and torch (night dive)
You don’t need a minimum number of dives but you should be comfortable with drift dives, as currents can be unpredictable and strong. If you are an Open Water Diver, some dives are below 18m therefore we recommend having advanced experience or taking your PADI Advanced Open Water course on board to maximise your enjoyment from the trip. Inexperienced and beginner divers may find some dives challenging and may be asked by the Cruise Director to skip dives that are not suitable for their diving experience. All diving is made from dhonis to give precise entry and exit points.
Dive, eat, sleep, repeat!
You?ve dreamed about diving Maldives, and here?s your chance! A magical destination filled with underwater amazement and endless vistas across the sea.

Eight days of pristine reefs, occasional currents, megafauna and macro life?all from the luxury of a spacious live aboard!
Choose from two amazing themes for your Maldives experience. Pelagic Magic begins in Male and covers areas of North and South Ari Atolls to find Manta Rays at multiple sites, Grey Reef Sharks patrolling the pinnacles, Maya Thila coming to life at night, and chances to snorkel with Whale Sharks!
