The long version of the Deep South links the central atolls with the far south in one passage, running between Malé and Kooddoo or Gan in either direction, or looping Gan to Kooddoo. The full southbound route works through North and South Malé, Felidhu, Meemu, Thaa and Laamu before reaching Huvadhoo, Fuvahmulah and Addu, with a one-way domestic flight at the southern end.
The character of the diving shifts as you go: soft coral and manta stations in the centre, then the deep channels of Huvadhoo, where you hang off a reef hook in a wall of tuna and barracuda while grey reefs and silvertips patrol the edge. At Fuvahmulah the 30-metre plateau brings tiger sharks, hammerheads and threshers within arm's length, and Addu closes the trip with a coral-covered wreck and a manta cleaning station.

- Tiger sharks, hammerheads, threshers and silvertips on the Fuvahmulah plateau
