Objetives of this route: Mantas on cleaning stations, mantas at night, nurse sharks in Vaavu, Pelagic life and schools of sharks in the channels of Meemu, Laamu and Gaafu, whale sharks at night in Thaa, tiger sharks and silver tip sharks in Fuvamulah.

Our team at MALDIVES BLUE FORCE 3 has planned the live aboard season in tha Atolls os southern Maldives for the months in which the conditions ar optimum for diving in this area of the country. In 2024 the boat will start its Southern Maldives season with two excepcional 10 and 11 night leaving from Male and ending in Fuvahmulah and vice versa. By extending the amount of days on board, this route permits us to dive, on the same trip, what can possibly be considered the "BEST OF THE MALDIVES".
This route is exceptional and for the most part, off of the normal path that most live aboards follow. Besides the extended amount of days on board from 7 to 10 or 11 night, with the obvius increment of dives we will be making, what is most amazing is the quality of the sites we will be allowed to reach. The amount of live we will be able to observe: large schools of jacks, schools of grey sharks, silky sharks, whale sharks at night sometimes in the day as well, mantas, tiger sharks, silver tip sharks, Marlins and even the occasional and exclusive Oceanic Sun Fish (mola mola). As well as the quality and exuberance of the coral reefs around here, the thilas with their spectacular reefs and the nurse sharks from Alimatha, reaaly make this route the BEST OF THE MALDIVES.

Bellow is a more detailed look at the atolls we will diving on this route:

VAAVU: Without a doubt, the TOP dive sites on this atoll are Miyaru Kandu, a spectacular channel near the island of Alimathaa where we will be able to see many grey reef sharks and the Alimathaa Pier famous for the nurse shark dive, where you will be surrounded by dozens of these amazingly docile animals and will engage in an extremely unique experience.

MEEMU: This incredible atoll, is where we go to enjoy rich channels, which are teaming with life, such as the channel of Vanhuravelhi, breath taking dives like Muli Corner, where you never know what the ocean is going to surprise you with or the manta cleaning station at Kureli Manta point.

THAA: We will enjoy the colorful Dhifushi Kandu and look for the whale shark at night.

GAAFU: Undoubtedly known for its excellent channel dives. We can except some adrenaline pumping dives in the most famous channels os Maldives for grey reef shark sightings. We might also get some surprise appearances by silver tip sharks or even an occasional whale shark if the plankton is abundant. Lest not forget to mention the pristine zones of almost untouched coral reefs, diving with the green turtles and large sting rays and visiting deserted beaches and small fishing villages, where we get a glimpse of the autenthic Maldivian islands, far from tourism and living off fishing and agriculture as a ay of life.

LAAMU: Fushi Kandu and Isdhoo Muli, where we can find schools of eagle rays, schools of jacks and will search for the rather shy Hump head parrotfish. Hitadhoo corner also offers its Manta cleaning station.

FUVAHMULAH: if weather permits, because there is no fringing reef to offer protection, we will visit this peculiar islad, about 5km long, where we can dive off the reef into the big blue. There we might encounter large schools of jacks, mantas and sharks, Napoleon wrasse as well as possible "special encounters" like the elusive thresher shark, tiger shark, silver tip shark, marlin, oceanic sunfish... We will also try to dive on the island's south wall, one of the best conserved coral reefs of all of Maldives.

ARI: On this Atoll, anything is possible, whale shark encounters, manta cleaning stations... yet we are here for something differente, we are here to enjoy one of the most exclusive dives in the Maldives, the nigth manta dive.
