A bucket-list destination for many divers, the Maldives combines 1,192 stunning tropical islands with an underwater paradise. Brimming with marine wildlife, the pelagic sightings in the Maldives are spectacular. Adrenaline-filled channel drift dives can have you encounter mantas, eagle rays and various sharks such as whitetip, blacktip, oceanic silvertip, nurse and lemon shark, just to name a few.

The Maldives is a scuba diver’s paradise, offering an unparalleled underwater experience. Its crystal-clear waters reveal a vibrant world beneath the surface, teeming with life and colour. With visibility often exceeding 30 meters, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the diverse marine ecosystem.

Diving from aboard the Maldives Master allows us access to stunning seamounts that host manta cleaning stations, schooling jacks, racing tuna, turtles, and whale sharks – a totally unforgettable experience.

TheMaldives Masteris a 42m liveaboard vessel that boasts two roomy fixed double-bed cabins, eight convertible twin/double cabins and two single cabins. She features an indoor dining area, a bar, and a sky lounge. A shaded outdoor area can be found on the mid-deck, plus four sun decks: a viewing deck located at the front of both the mid-deck and upper deck, an open-air deck on the top deck, and an ocean deck at the stern of the boat, all providing comfortable seating and loungers.

The ocean deck is a unique feature allowing guests to relax in the open air while close to the water. On many evenings the floodlights will illuminate the water just off the ocean deck to attract plankton which draws the manta rays and whale sharks. Have your camera ready!

One of the most outstanding features of Maldives Master is the custom-built dhoni (diving support vessel) Blue Shadow. This 19m dhoni is spacious, fast, and equipped with all the modern conveniences that divers want. Each diver has their own station with plenty of space to store their gear and kit up, and the dhoni crew is ready to assist. During the journeys to and from the dive sites, you can ascend the small stairs to the top deck to enjoy the sun and stunning views. There is a toilet with a shower located inside the main deck plus two showers on the back deck, and separate camera and equipment rinse tanks. A fast engine, two generators, and two compressors with a nitrox membrane system mean you will enjoy a first-rate diving experience in the Maldives.
