Route Description - Central Atolls & Baa
Available for:
8 Days 7 Nights
11 Days 10 Nights
The Central Atolls and Baa itineraries take you to some of the best dive sites around the central atolls of the Maldives and Baa Atoll. The diving locations depend largely on the itinerary duration and include North Malé, Baa and North Ari atolls. On 10-night itineraries, South Ari, Vaavu and South Malé Atolls will also usually be covered.
The following is an example of the day-to-day itinerary.
Meet the crew at Malé Airport for embarkation, followed by introductions, boat orientation, safety briefings and 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 snorkelling at Hanifaru Bay is possible, there will only be 2 dives offered on that day. If it is possible to offer a sunset or night dive, the scheduling of the preceding dives will be slightly amended. However, on 7 night itineraries, only one sunset or night dive may be offered, and the possibility of either is not guaranteed.
Last diving day: For the last day of diving, we usually schedule two morning dives* before
the boat heads back to port after lunch.
Guests are kindly asked to check their flight departure time 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.
