This is the Best of the Maldives - and it delivers exactly that. This is where you dive into the best and most famous dive sites of the Maldives in a week of wonderful liveaboard diving across Male and Ari atolls.

Enjoy a dive holiday that gives you all you could wish for from the iconic sites of North Male, South Male, and Ari Atoll. Awaiting you are channels, drifts, and pinnacles where you have every chance of meeting mantas, whale sharks, and mesmerizing marine life of so many varieties. We don't follow an exact itinerary; flexibility is the word so that no matter what time of the year you visit, this underwater world is yours (and ours) to explore.

This itinerary gives you a marine mix of big fish such as shark and manta dives as well as reef dives, reef fish, morays, and the abundant macro life. Get up close at the cleaning stations without disturbing the locals! One of the best-known dive sites is Maaya Thila; this pinnacle is approximately 30m in diameter and falls away to reveal sharks and fish plenty.

A night dive from sheltered moorings here is a must! The boat will also aim to find whale sharks so you can get in the water and snorkel with them...as long as they stay around long enough!

The first and last night of each trip is spent onboard at the port.

• Rasdhoo Atoll: Hammerhead Dive, Beautiful Reef with Pelagics.
• North Ari Atoll: Grey Reef Sharks, Maaya Thila Night Dive, Multiple Manta Cleaning Stations.
