One week, five atolls and around 17 dives: this loop leaves Malé and runs through North Malé, Rasdhoo and Ari, then crosses to Felidhu and finishes in South Malé. It packs the central Maldives' greatest hits into seven nights and returns to the international airport, which makes it the operator's most popular departure.
One morning you are kneeling in the sand while mantas circle a cleaning station overhead; the next you are drifting past caves hung with blue and yellow soft coral, or hovering beside a pinnacle so thick with fish it hides the reef. South Ari's whale sharks are a regular feature, and after dark the night dives often bring sharks and mantas into the torchlight.

- Manta cleaning stations in the central atolls
- Whale sharks in South Ari
- Caves lined with blue and yellow soft coral
