Atolls, liveaboards and some of the clearest water in the world.
What people go to Maldives for
- Snorkelling straight off the beach onto a house reef.
- Manta rays and whale sharks in Baa and South Ari atolls.
- Liveaboard diving between atolls for a week at a time.
- Local-island stays as a cheaper, more sociable alternative to a resort.
Trips to Maldives

If you would rather look at something already running, the trips we do have are all here.
