The routes -
Diving
We follow certain routes which turned out to be the best in our experience. This route however is not completely fixed, the details depend on
weather and currents.
Therefore are the cruises if you come as repeater never the same. Currents control the choice of the dive site by 100%. You may have noticed,
the dive on the very same spot is at on time great, at the other time mediocre. This is not luck or tough-luck as many people believe. It is the
current only.
At certain currents one spot can be dived, at other currents it is a vast of time. Sharks, whale sharks, mantas are encountered at a certain
current at the specific dive site only. To know the point is only half the story, to know the right time makes a great dive. We know both in perfection.
We know what can be found where. We promise you nothing less but the best diving you can get in Maldives. Guaranteed. In a weekly tour you can expect mantas, greysharks an wonderful reefs with perfect coral, with a little bit of luck you see whalesharks.
The be-weekly tour incorporates Felidu Atoll and Rasdhu, (alternatively Baa and Lhaviyani) making whalesharks and hammerheads even more likely.
One week cruises
The best atoll for a one week cruise is definitely the Ari Atoll. We find there all you want to see. During the cruise we round all the atoll but
have-depending on weather and season- preferences for the west-or the east side.
One side of the atoll is always protected. Even in bad weather you find calm waters there.
Two week cruises - There are two choices:
1.We go down South Male continuing to Waav Atoll (Felidu), crossing to southern Ari, moving up to north Ari and Back to Male. Even at
unfavorable weather conditions a safe cruise since not much crossing between the atolls is required.
2. We move up North Male Atoll, cross to Baa Atoll and continue up into southern Raa Atoll. From there we cross to Lhaviayani Atoll and
back south to Male. This route is advised at normal weather-conditions only, since there are open seas to be crossed.
Note: If you request as full charter a special route or atoll- we can do so, just contact us.
WHALE WATCHING
Whales we encounter a couple of miles outside the atolls.
We stay the night in the atoll and move in daytime along the atoll chain up to the north and on the other atoll side back again. On the
way we have "hotspots" only known to us. A whale watching trip covers large distances, the water will be more rough than within the atolls. We have sighted 12 different species of whales and dolphins including bluewhales and Orcas.
SURFING
Our main season are the months from April- October. At that time the surf is best at and near the Male Atolls. No large distances to be covered.
ISLAND EXPERIENCE
The one week route leads us through South Male Atoll to Ari Atoll and slowly back to North Male.
An outstanding experience is the North Tour via Baa to Raa Atoll. Plenty of tiny dream-islands are waiting. 10-14 days are necessary, however.
