For divers seeking the ultimate Maldivian adventure, this extended one-way expedition delivers an unforgettable journey from Malé to the Deep South. Travel through seven atolls, each offering a rich tapestry of dive experiences — from manta cleaning stations and coral-covered thilas to thrilling channel dives with sharks and schooling pelagics.

This route is a diver’s dream, blending iconic dive sites with remote, untouched reefs rarely visited. The final stretch into Huvadhoo Atoll, one of the largest and least explored atolls in the Maldives, offers some of the most exciting diving in the region.

This itinerary is ideal for experienced divers due to the strong currents and deep channels encountered along the way. Nitrox is highly recommended, and a domestic flight from Kooddoo back to Malé is required at the end of the trip.
