Eight days from Malé north to Baa Atoll and back, built around Hanifaru Bay, where manta rays gather to feed and whale sharks also visit. On the way the route passes reefs with sharks, rays, Napoleon wrasse and coral, giving a mix of the Maldives' main dive experiences. Expect about 17 dives, up to three a day, with island and beach hopping, snorkelling, and a visit to Malé and Hulhumalé.
A Maldives liveaboard settles into an easy rhythm fast. A light breakfast, a briefing, then the first dive while the sun is still low; back on board for a proper breakfast and a rest; then down again. The water is warm and clear, and long surface intervals give time to sleep, read on deck or watch the next island slide into view. Evenings are quiet, with the day's dives retold over dinner.
