THE MUST OF THE MALDIVES!

Before arriving there, our new boat Seafari Explorer 2 will stop at the most beautiful sites, passes populated by gray sharks, coral, black tips, the fabulous reserve of nurse sharks of Vaavu, and many other surprises concocted by our team of specialists on site.
• The goal is to see no less than 4 species of rays and 9 different species of sharks.
  
  

Highlights:

• Manta Ray cleaning stations.
• Meeting with the whale shark.
• Sharks and rays in the Vaavu passes.
• Fohamulah Tiger Sharks at Tiger Zoo.
  
  

Safety first:

• All aquatic activities are under the supervision and guided by a qualified instructor (CMAS or PADI) from the Seafari team.
• Before each activity, the instructors on board will make a detailed presentation of the site, currents, wildlife, and safety rules to respect.
• The choice of sites is at the discretion of the captain and the main Seafari instructor in depending on the season and weather conditions.
• Seafari supervision may be imposed, by decision of the on-board monitors, at any time diver whose technical level is not related to his safety. For the same reasons, Seafari monitors can prohibit certain dives deemed too difficult.
• Snorkeling trips with Manta rays are planned, in places kept secret by our instructors.
