Maldives: Diving the Atolls Charter Itinerary

Maldives: Diving the Atolls Itinerary

Maldives: Diving the Atolls Yacht Charter
A week of world-class diving and snorkelling through the central Maldivian atolls, from coral islands to famous reef thilas. This route is built around the underwater world, black-tip sharks and manta cleaning stations, seamounts rising from the deep and reefs alive with colour. Expect legendary dive sites and uninhabited atolls, warm clear water and empty sandbanks, a paradise for lovers of the sea.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter reef. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Bandos

Land at Male and cruise to the nearby coral island of Bandos. Indulge in a first snorkel over the house reef, swim in the warm water, and settle aboard as the light fades over the atoll.
