Discover the remote and untamed beauty of the Maldives' Deep South, where dramatic seascapes, pelagic action, and historic dive sites await. This one-way expedition begins in Addu Atoll and journeys northward through Fuvahmulah and Huvadhoo, three of the most exhilarating diving regions in the country.

Far from the well-traveled central atolls, these equatorial waters offer pristine conditions, fewer crowds, and truly wild encounters—think tiger sharks, whale sharks, hammerheads, and massive schools of fish in some of the Maldives’ deepest, clearest channels. This itinerary requires a domestic flight from Malé to Gan on the departure day, and from Kooddoo back to Malé on the final day.

Sample Itinerary

Day 1 – Arrival & Check-in (Gan)
Guests may check in between 12:00 and 16:00. Once aboard, you’ll meet the crew, settle into your cabin, and attend a safety and itinerary briefing. A check dive may be offered depending on arrival time and weather conditions.

Days 2 – 10 – Diving Highlights
Over the next nine days, you’ll explore the very best of the southern Maldives, with up to 26 dives offered throughout the trip:

• Addu Atoll – Discover the wreck of the British Loyalty, explore lush reefs, and dive fast-flowing channels. Don’t miss the manta cleaning station in the north, where graceful mantas come to be groomed by cleaner wrasse.
• Fuvahmulah Atoll – Dive along an offshore plateau rising from the deep ocean, where tiger sharks, threshers, hammerheads, and silver tips make regular appearances.
• Huvadhoo Atoll – Known for its wide, current-swept channels filled with sharks and pelagics. Inside the atoll, enjoy colorful coral gardens, macro life, and the chance to see whale sharks near the boat at night.

Day 11 – Check-out (Kooddoo)
Enjoy an early breakfast before check-out at 07:00. Transfers will be arranged to Kooddoo Airport for your domestic flight back to Malé.

The last dive will be on the penultimate day of the trip. Divers are recommended to wait for 24 hours before flying after the last dive.
