About your trip

7 night all-inclusive stay on Blue Force One Liveaboard cruising the Maldives Central Atolls and Hanifaru Route during Manta Ray Migration. 3 dives per day including 1-2 night dives per week (weather dependent). 

Diving Route

 The Manta Expedition route combines the best known diving route with Baa Atoll, North of the central atolls. In this route we explore the North Male and South Male atolls, visiting the first manta cleaning stations and some thilas to see sharks, such as Kandooma and Guraidhoo. Crossing to the Ari Atoll  we will look for whale sharks and dive with mantas at night. We then dive in Rasdhoo, where the pelagics await us. Completing the cruise, we sail North to Hanifaru Bay (UNESCO Biosphere Reserve) where we will enjoy manta ray diving and snorkeling. This route represents the most famous diving areas of the Northern Atolls of the Maldives.
