This is the operator's long central loop: 10 to 14 nights out of Malé through the atolls that hold the Maldives' most reliable big-animal encounters, then on south toward the equator. Featuring Ari and South Ari, Baa and Raa, with cleaning stations in Meemu and Lhaviyani, and the longer December departures run over Christmas and New Year.
South Ari is where whale sharks cruise the outer reef all year, close to the surface and often long enough to swim alongside for minutes at a time. Elsewhere you settle on the sand beside a cleaning station while mantas queue to be serviced, then ride the current across thilas crowded with fusiliers, jacks and the odd eagle ray. The variety from one dive to the next is the point of the trip.
Trip Highlights & Key Regional Features
- Year-round whale sharks on the South Ari outer reef
- Manta cleaning stations in Baa, Meemu and Lhaviyani
- Thilas and channels with schooling tuna, jacks, barracuda and eagle rays
