Route Description - Central Atolls
Available for:
8 Days 7 Nights
11 Days 10 Nights
The Central Atolls scuba diving itinerary offers divers access to some of the most renowned sites across the central Maldives. During the liveaboard cruise, guests have the opportunity to explore a variety of dive locations around North and South Malé, North and South Ari, Rasdhoo, and Vaavu Atolls. The specific dive sites visited may vary with each trip, depending on the itinerary length, environmental conditions, and other operational factors.
The following is an example of the day-to-day itinerary.
Day 1: Meet the crew at Malé Airport for transfer to Maldives Master. Once all guests are on board, the crew will conduct boat orientation and safety briefings which will be followed by dinner. There is no diving on embarkation day.
Full diving days: The crew typically offer a maximum of 3 dives on full diving days, scheduled as follows unless travelling distances or other circumstances dictate otherwise:
Light Breakfast followed by a briefing and Dive 1
Full Breakfast, relaxation period, briefing and Dive 2
Lunch, relaxation period, briefing and Dive 3*
Snack, relaxation period
Dinner
If it is possible to offer a sunset or night dive, the schedule will be amended slightly. However, on 7 night itineraries, only one sunset or night dive may be offered and the possibility of either is not guaranteed.
Day before disembarkation: For the last day of diving we usually schedule two morning dives* (06:30 am and 10:45 am) before the boat heads back to port after lunch.
Guests are kindly asked to check their flight departure times to ensure a minimum of 24 hours between their final dive and flying.
Disembarkation Day: Early breakfast on board followed by disembarkation at 07:30 and transfer to the airport which takes approximately 30 minutes.
